Please contact Constance (connibouchard@gmail.com) for more information about this pet.Rescued DogBiography Important Information Please read! If you are interested in me after reading about me, please visit my site, http://www.breederadoptions.org and follow the instructions. The majority of the dogs we rescue, mostly breeder dogs, have lived their entire lives in less-than-ideal conditions so will need to be socialized, house and leash trained. Most have never lived in a house, walked on a leash, had a treat or sat in a lap. For many of them, their feet have never touched the ground after living for years on wire until they arrive at our main facility where they are evaluated, groomed and given vet care. Most of these dogs are not socialized and need to be cornered to be picked up, so are not suitable for people with physical disabilities or suffer from PTSD. They need folks who will make them the center of their world and help them learn to trust before even attempting to train.  Please do not apply if you do not meet the requirements of the dogs we rescue.  However, they will learn with time, love, patience and most of all, commitment. You must have an ample supply of all of these to reap the rewards of watching these very special dogs become your wonderful companion. We state any known health issues, all are altered unless there is a medical reason not to, which we will advise, any known medical issues addressed, are microchipped, are UTD on all vaccines and have been checked out by at least one veterinarian, usually two. We do not guarantee the health of any of our rescued dogs. The dogs we rescue have lived with other dogs all of their lives and most get along with other dogs. We state if they are dog aggressive. We require a permanent, full-time parent. That means you must be able to spend the majority of your time with your new companion to socialize and train. We do not, under any circumstances, place them in homes with young children as they have not been exposed to children and we do not know how they will react. Please do not waste your time or ours if you are not prepared to adopt within 2 weeks and you are not willing to pick the dog up at its location. Hi! My name is Pockets, and I am a tiny Maltese boy who was born 6/10/19, and I weigh 4 pounds. I need an all-adult home and a sibling my size to learn from would be ideal. If you have been waiting for a sweet Maltese, please ask for me on your application to http://www.breederadoptions.org. Love, Pockets 041924-09  April 25, 2024, 9:49 pm

Story
My goodness her little white goatee just speaks to my soul. Shirley is an 8 year old Maltese mix. She joined MHCR with, you guessed it, Laverne! They came from a local CO shelter after being surrendered in a large group of dogs. The shelter life was a bit stressful for them, so we scooped em up and over to MHCR they came. Shirley is a sensitive sweetheart. She’s a little timid and takes a bit to warm up. For this reason, we suspect she will do well in a quieter household with other dog friends to keep her company. She’s house trained and crate trained and doesn’t get into things free roam. Shirley is seeking a home with a securely fenced in yard and not a lot of hustle and bustle, but PLENTY of snuggles. Shirley is in foster in Loveland, Colorado. *We require all adopters to come to Colorado to adopt. *We do not transport dogs. * You can view this wonderful dog at https://www.milehighcanine.org/post/dogs/shirley/.

Story
Laverne is a lovable, 10 year old, female, Maltese. She joined MHCR as a transfer from another CO shelter where she came in as part of a large surrender. Laverne is house trained, good with respectful children, and has really taken to her foster dad. His chest is her favorite to snuggle on. Laverne is dog friendly and while she doesn’t love her crate she will tolerate it. She’d likely do best on a quiet home with another dog or two and a secure yard. Laverne is in foster in Loveland, Colorado. *We require all adopters to come to Colorado to adopt. *We do not transport dogs. * You can view this wonderful dog at https://www.milehighcanine.org/post/dogs/laverne/.

Story
Heather is a sweet Maltese that is currently being fostered with one of our dog trainers that specializes in timid, shy dogs.  She is a breeder release and is guessed to be around 6-7 years old.   She is absolutely adorable and her foster mom says she is making great progress but is still very nervous around new people. She is quiet  and wants so badly to come close but is still quite nervous. She is fully kennel trained and loves, loves, loves her kennel, it is her safe place.  She loves to be out in the dog run and is potty trained at her foster mom's house. She has just started learning to walk on a leash but will need someone to introduce her to the world slowly to give her time to adjust to her new life. There are lots of other dogs at her foster moms house so we know she is dog friendly, her foster doesn't have any cats but thinks she would be fine with them if introduced properly.  She thinks she would do better in a home with a confident dog or in a quiet home with adults or older quiet kids only. She will need an adopter who will give her love and patience. Please consider this adorable girl as a part of your new family. She deserves all the love in the world and will give you a lifetime of love.  The shy dogs become the most loyal dogs and LOVE LOVE LOVE their humans.  She has so much love to give and is looking for her FurEver Home. Her foster mom is located in Fort Collins Colorado and wants to find a patient adopter who is willing to help her continue with her training and help her gain confidence either with in person, or virtual training session(s). She will provide a discount on training.  The amount of training needed will depend on the knowledge and experience of the adopter and how far along Heather is at the time of adoption.
