Little Prince is as cute as they come! This 5 pound little fluffball was found wondering Wilmington. A good samaritan spotted him before he was about to get on the i95 ramp and brought him to the shelter. Prince is a sweet guy and would do well in most families. Come meet him today! October 6, 2026, 5:04 pm

Story
Meet Pickle! Fostered in Jackson NJPickle is a sweet 9-pound, approx 2-3 year old Maltese looking for a patient and understanding home where he can build confidence at his own pace. This adorable little guy is very shy and may hide under a table or find a quiet spot when he's feeling nervous. While he takes time to warm up, the reward is well worth the wait.With gentle encouragement and plenty of treats, Pickle slowly begins to trust. His favorite snacks are cheese and peanut butter, and they're a great way to win his heart! Once he feels comfortable, he'll happily come over to see what goodies you have for him.Pickle is pee pad trained and does well when left home alone. He's still learning to walk on a leash and will need a family willing to help him continue building confidence out in the world.One thing Pickle would truly love is a calm female dog companion around his size. Having a gentle canine friend to snuggle with helps him feel safe and secure, and he enjoys the comfort of another dog by his side.  For this reason, we will only consider a home for him with another female dog companion.  Due to his timidness, we are looking for a home with a fenced yard.Pickle is searching for a quiet, loving home that understands shy dogs and will give him the time he needs to come out of his shell. In return, you'll get the joy of watching a timid little dog grow into a trusting companion. If you have patience, kindness, and a soft spot for underdogs, Pickle may be the perfect addition to your family.  Pickle is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. To apply for Pickle,please click the link to submit an application.  He is looking for a very special furever home who understands his needs, and. is committed to helping him continue to come out of his shell. https://peytonsplaceanimalrescue.org/adoption-application/ ##2830168##

Story
For inquiries email kathy@compactcaninerescue.org Fee: $600 Location: Rehoboth Beach, Delaware Update, 9/25/26:  Blossom has been spayed and is ready for her forever home!  She is full of puppy energy!  Loves to play with humans and toys!  Take this sweet little girl into your home today! Foster mom update, 9/13/26:  What a difference a week makes!  Blossom is doing fabulous with her housetraining!  She has not had an accident in a week!  She is learning to walk on a leash and loves to take long walks.  She plays with toys ... loves a squeaky toy or a small ball to chase.  She enjoys chewing on a bully stick and wrestling with her foster sister.  This little blossom is a gem! Meet Blossom. We believe she is around 2 years old, weighs about 9 pounds and is a Shih Tzu/Maltese mix.  She came to us from a hoarding situation and is learning how to be pampered. Her first haircut was quite the transformation. Blossom is a bit skittish and loves having another dog around.  If she cannot find her foster sister, she gets a bit anxious.  She sleeps quietly through the night in her crate, snuggled up with her foster sister.  A home with another dog is strongly preferred.  She is starting to discover that people and toys are fun.  She is working on her leash skills and potty manners. A fenced yard is a plus.  A training/manners class is required and must be completed within 6 months to finalize the adoption. She will be scheduled to be spayed soon. Once healed she will be ready for adoption. Apply now!
