Story
This is yet another heartbreaking story at our rescue. Believe it or not, this dog was actually an owner surrender in this condition. See second photo. He is about 10 years old and has suffered terribly in his little life. He has bad dental disease and mature cataracts, which make him completely blind. He has severe muscle atrophy and ear infections. His nails were super long and he was so badly matted that they could not even evaluate his mandibular. We even found a dead bug in one of the mats. He is now groomed, had his nails trimmed, ears treated, and blood work done. He appears to be in okay health, but needs lots of TLC, nurturing, and love. He is a sweet calm, little boy. He loves to be snuggled and scratched. He can use a pee pad, or go outside if carried out. He is really no trouble at all. He is a good little boy. We are looking for a home to either foster or adopt.Please visit our website at https://sites.google.com/view/muddymoosemutts/home or email pawrescued2016@gmail.com for an application. His adoption fee is $295.

Story
Effie and LV they are a bonded pair of 10-year-old dogs who are in need of a loving and caring home. These sweet pups love people and cuddling, and are already house trained, making them the perfect companions for anyone looking to add some furry love to their life. Effie, a Maltese Shih Tzu, is a beautiful white pup with a heart of gold, while LV, a Havanese Shih Tzu mix, is a charming black and white furball who will steal your heart with her playful antics. These lovely dogs are free to a good home, as their previous owner is unable to care for them due to medical reasons. By adopting Effie and LV, you will not only be giving them a second chance at a happy life, but also opening your heart and home to two loyal and loving companions who will bring endless joy and happiness to your life. If you are interested in adopting them or meeting them please reach out!

She's a super sweet 12 lb dog looking for a forever home and family to adopt her and her brother. Like her brother Amos, she is a beautiful white Maltese/poodle mix and has a great temperament. She gets along with everyone and needs more experience with cats, but kids and other dogs are golden! Andi enjoys walks and does well on the leash and could keep your lap warm or help you walk out your frustrations and then cuddle with you to help you forget all your troubles!!

Story
Say hello to Frieda! She is a 6 year old Maltese/Chihuahua mix (throw in almost 25% Pug and you've got a super cool mutt per her DNA testing!). Frieda is a stout, stocky girl weighing in at 21lbs. This girl is a sweetheart and will make an excellent canine companion for a lucky family. Frieda is housetrained and has wonderful leash manners. She is very food motivated and this has made her training quite fun and rewarding. Frieda does not need a ton of exercise - she is quite content with a daily walk in addition to regular potty breaks. Frieda is not overly needy either - she happily seeks attention, pets, and praise, then is happy to lay on her bed quietly chewing her bone. Just don't be late for breakfast time or dinner time or Frieda will remind you with the song of her people! Frieda would be perfectly happy as the only dog in the home. She does not mind the company of other dogs though and may consider sharing her home with a friendly, calm dog (Frieda is not looking for a playmate, but rather a canine roommate/companion). A quiet, adult home or one with gentle teenagers would be a good match for Frieda as well. To learn more about how to make Frieda your next 4-legged family member, please contact Beth at beth.b@poainc.org AND complete an application ASAP at www.poainc.org

Story
You may remember Sammy, our floofy 6-pound Maltese mix, from last year. Sadly, this little guy’s adopter has fallen ill, and so he has had to return to us. We believe Sammy is around 3 years old. He is unsure about why he’s in the shelter again after having landed in a loving home. He’ll need to build his confidence back up and learn to trust all over again, but we know he can do it. He just needs someone willing to offer him patience and personal space so he can start to feel safe once more. This teensy peanut gets along perfectly with dogs and cats. He loves people he trusts, but it does takes time to earn that. His curiosity is part of his charm; he’ll closely watch everything you do. You’ll want to walk him through what he can expect from you each step of the way. He may even cower in fear when you prepare to leash him up for an outing. He’d most likely benefit from living with a fellow (more confident) canine sibling his size to help him navigate the big, wide world. You’ll enjoy his bouncy sashay on walks. Even strolls in the rain don’t put him off. Having time out and about town gives him a chance to satisfy his inquisitiveness, take in all the fascinating sights and smells, and check out how everyone in his neighborhood is doing. He’ll happily guard your home, but he’d much prefer that you refrain from teasing him with his food or toys. Once he knows you won’t take advantage of his diminutive size, Sammy will show you his belly and sleep in your lap. Note that his nickname is “Yogi” because he’ll lower himself into a wee downward dog pose if he's really enjoying the scritches you are sharing. He loves snoring under the covers in his human's bed. He’s housetrained and neutered. To make Sammy’s acquaintance, he asks that you please fill out an online application. Email stefanie.d@poainc.org to learn more.
