Story
 Meet Rocket!  Rocket is an adorable 10-month-old Maltese mix with a big personality packed into a little body. This sweet, playful boy loves to run and play outside, then happily snuggle up next to you for TV time or relaxing on the couch. Like many young pups, Rocket is still learning the ropes. He can be a bit vocal at times and may bark at new noises or people, but with consistent training and guidance, he’s already making great progress. Once he gets going, he does well on a leash, and while he can be a little unsure at first, his confidence continues to grow. He would enjoy a confident friend to play with and go on walks with. Rocket is potty trained, knows his name, and does best when he has appropriate toys and chews of his own. He’s also great with kids and other dogs, making him a wonderful candidate for an active, loving home ready to help a young pup thrive.  Looking for a playful companion with lots of love to give? Rocket might be your guy! Apply to adopt or come meet this little gem at eapl.com   His adoption fee is $375  March 2, 2026, 9:04 am

Story
-I am bonded to Bella the Maltese and we are looking for a home together- Taco is a lively, affectionate, 8 year old charismatic dog, weighing in at 23 lbs, who has made remarkable progress during his time in foster care. He is currently on a prescription diet as he continues his weight-loss journey and will need a family committed to helping him stay active and healthy. Taco loves his walks, enjoys running, and is always ready for a game of fetch or a chance to play with his favorite toys. As he has slimmed down and grown more confident, his coat has filled in, giving him the appearance of a small, cuddly “Taco Bear.” Taco is playful and goofy, but he also knows how to settle. He’s happy relaxing in his dog bed, resting in an open kennel, or lounging on the couch—though he does need a little lift to get up. He can navigate stairs but prefers help in the home where there is no carpet. At the park, however, he happily bounds up the steps with enthusiasm. Taco is a dog who forms strong bonds with his people, and because of that, he can be a bit protective at times. With consistent guidance, he has made tremendous improvement. He responds very well to redirection, learns quickly, and continues to show progress. Slow, thoughtful introductions with other dogs set him up for success, and he does especially well with his bonded sister Bella—he trusts her completely and never guards around her. In fact, she helps bring out his most confident and relaxed self. Like many dogs who have been through uncertainty, Taco sometimes needs reassurance when meeting new people or dogs. He can be vocal on leash or behind barriers, and he may get a bit nippy toward ankles or clothing when overly excited. However, he corrects easily and is eager to please, making him a wonderful match for someone who can offer structure, calm leadership, and patience. Because of his excitement levels, he would be best in a home without young children. Despite these quirks, Taco is incredibly loving. He is affectionate, full of kisses, playful, funny, and devoted to his people. He is also fully house trained and has not had a single accident since entering foster care. He enjoys being near his humans but is comfortable when left alone as well. Taco and Bella are a bonded pair who truly rely on one another. Bella provides him with comfort and stability, while Taco brings her companionship, warmth, and playfulness. They must be adopted together, as their connection is central to their continued happiness and growth. Taco will thrive in a home willing to support his continued weight loss, offer daily walks and playtime, and guide him gently as he continues building confidence. With Bella by his side, he is ready to bring joy, humor, and unwavering love to a family who welcomes both of them. ---------- Before being rescued, many of our dogs had limited socialization, so they may need some time to adjust to life as a family pet. Older kids are often a great fit for our dogs, and homes with younger children will be considered based on each dog's individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may take a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of these dogs adapt quite quickly. Being a part of their rehabilitation is a truly rewarding experience. To learn more about mill dogs and start the adoption process, visit our website!

Story
-I am bonded to Taco and we are looking for a home together. I do have diabetes and will need lifelong care and management for this condition- Bella is a small, gentle dog with a wonderfully spunky personality. She has diabetes and is on a managed routine that includes a special diet and insulin twice a day. Bella also has some vision impairment, which means she may bump into things in darker spaces or shadows, but she navigates daily life with confidence and curiosity. Despite these limitations, Bella enjoys sunbathing, rolling in the grass, and going on short, relaxed walks. She walks beautifully on a leash and may need to be carried for longer distances. Bella has a calm demeanor with bursts of playfulness that always bring joy to her foster home. She greets her people with an unforgettable little howl and may proudly bring a toy to say hello. She loves being near her family—on the couch, in the same room, or curled up close during quiet time—but she is also comfortable being left alone for a few hours. She sleeps peacefully through the night and is house trained, occasionally using a potty pad if needed. Bella gets along well with other dogs and cats. Due to her small size and delicate build, she may be best suited for a home with older children who understand how to interact gently with her. She can get excited at mealtime and vocal about it, and her foster family is helping her learn calmer routines around food. Bella does not resource guard, though she will let her brother know when she wants his toy or if his enthusiasm becomes too much for her. Her antics are both endearing and entertaining, and she keeps her foster home laughing with her unique blend of sweetness and sass. Bella and her brother share a strong bond. She may be the one in charge, but their connection is unmistakable. They comfort each other, learn from each other, and bring out the best in one another. Because of this, they will need to be adopted together. Bella’s ideal home is one with a lower to moderate activity level—one that appreciates gentle walks, cozy afternoons, and the joyful quirks of a deeply lovable pair. With the right family, Bella and her brother will continue to blossom and share their affectionate, funny, and loyal nature every day. ---------- Before being rescued, many of our dogs had limited socialization, so they may need some time to adjust to life as a family pet.

Story
Meet Livvy Breed: Maltese Sex: Female DOB: 11/18/2025 Weight: 6 Pounds Health: Healthy and thriving Livvy is a tiny little snowball of sweetness with soft eyes and a gentle spirit. At just three months old, she is still very much a baby — learning the world, discovering her confidence, and forming the bonds that will shape her entire life. She has that delicate Maltese charm — affectionate, people-focused, and happiest when she feels safe and close to her humans. Personality Livvy is cuddly, curious, and wonderfully affectionate. She loves exploring her surroundings, following you around on her tiny paws, and then climbing into your lap when she’s ready for reassurance. She thrives on connection and will likely form a deep, devoted attachment to her person. With patience and guidance, she will grow into a loyal, loving companion who wants nothing more than to be by your side. Breed Info Maltese are known for their gentle, devoted personalities. They are companion dogs through and through — they do not enjoy being left alone for long periods and thrive in homes where they are included in daily life. They require regular grooming to keep their coats healthy and mat-free, and they respond beautifully to kind, consistent training. Maltese bond deeply and often choose “their person” for life. Owner Responsibilities Livvy is a baby. That means frequent potty breaks, supervision, gentle socialization, and consistent positive reinforcement training. Puppies chew, explore, and make mistakes — they require time every single day. She will also require routine grooming throughout her life. Raising Livvy means actively shaping her into a confident, well-adjusted adult dog. &#226&#154&#160&#239&#184&#143 Things to Consider Before adopting Livvy, ask yourself: Are you home enough for a young puppy? Is your housing stable and pet-approved long-term? Are you financially prepared for grooming, vet care, and emergencies? Are you ready for a 12–15 year commitment — even if you move, change jobs, or life circumstances shift? Adoption is not temporary. It is for life. Vet Care Even though Livvy is healthy, it is essential to establish care with your own veterinarian immediately after adoption. This ensures her vaccination schedule continues properly, growth is monitored, and any concerns are addressed early. A relationship with your own vet sets the foundation for lifelong health. Understanding the 3-3-3 Rule The first 3 days Livvy may feel overwhelmed or unsure — everything is new. The first 3 weeks she will begin learning your routine and feeling safe. By 3 months, her trust will bloom, and her true personality will shine. Patience during this transition is critical for building lifelong confidence. Why Livvy? Livvy is not just a tiny puppy — she is a little life waiting to give her whole heart to someone. If you are ready to nurture, guide, and commit fully, she will reward you with unwavering devotion and years of soft, loyal companionship.   If you are interested in adopting this amazing dog, please follow the link https://www.ozzieandfriendsrescue.org/adoptions and fill out an application  Thank you for choosing Ozzie and Friends Rescue.
