Maltese Poodle (Miniature)

Female, 1 yr 2 mos
Sarasota, FL
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Story
****IMPORTANT INFO - PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING**** 🧚‍♀️✨ Meet Tinkerbelle ✨🧚‍♀️ 1 year old | 15 lbs | Small breed mix Tinkerbelle is a tiny spark of joy wrapped in silky white fur with hints of apricot. While her exact breed is unknown, she appears to be a mix of Poodle, Maltese, Havanese, or Coton de Tulear — a perfect blend of fluffy, fun, and adorable 🧚 She is spunky, playful, and full of happy energy, but she’s also a total cuddle bug who loves being close to her people. 💕 She doesn’t mind being dressed up, loves toys and bones, and gets along wonderfully with all people and all dogs. *IMPORTANT*: We do want to be completely transparent — Tinkerbelle is a digger and an escape artist. Because of this, she needs a very secure home and a “helicopter” dog parent who takes safety seriously. She was trapped in Georgia before coming to us after being on the run for months and then was adopted, instructions weren't followed and she escaped again on the 3rd day. We trapped her a 2nd time. It is unlikely that she will fall for a trap again, so we need a seriously diligent dog parent. One who is actually terrified of their dog getting loose and killed. A lot of people take that lightly, but we need the person who is paranoid. No sugarcoating here — she’s worth the extra diligence! The good stuff: 🧚‍♂️ Crate trained 🧚‍♂️ House trained 🧚‍♂️ Listens well 🧚‍♂️ Loves playtime, toys, and wrestling 🧚‍♂️ Social, affectionate, and FUN The safest home options for her are: - An apartment or townhome where she is always leashed outside, ideally with access to a secure dog park for supervised play. - A home with a solid fenced yard that has dig-proof reinforcement installed along the entire perimeter. She is very sweet, but will only go to an adult home without kids so that no one lets her out. She would LOVE another dog to play with and someone who works from home if possible. 📍 Fostered in Clearwater, FL 💉 Spayed, vaccinated, microchipped & heartworm negative 💲 Adoption fee: $400 ➡️ Application: www.love4pawsfl.org/adopt Tinkerbelle is a special little survivor who just needs the right setup to thrive. If you’re looking for a lively, loving companion and can provide a secure home, she may be your perfect match. 💖🐶

Story
Hi there, I’m Gigi! I’m a gorgeous 8-year-old Maltese girl, and at a petite 6 pounds, I am living proof that the best things come in small packages. I ended up at a local shelter, which was quite beneath my standards if I’m being honest, but my rescue family swooped in and now I am thriving and ready to find my forever home! I am, without question, a velcro pup. Where you go, I go. What you do, I do. Are you sitting on the couch? I’m there. Are you soaking up some sunshine outside? I am RIGHT beside you, because sunshine is basically my love language. I am super sweet, incredibly loving, and I give the best kisses — freely and frequently, whether you asked for them or not. I am piddle pad trained, which makes life nice and easy, and I do great with other dogs and probably fine with older, dog-savvy kids too. I love to play and have plenty of personality packed into my tiny little self. One thing I will be upfront about — crates are not my thing. Not even a little. I will absolutely let you know how I feel about them. A crate-free home is definitely the way to my heart! Whether you’re lounging in the sun, going for a stroll, or just hanging at home, I will be your most devoted and adorable companion. Life is simply better with a Gigi in it. Come find me — I have so much love to give and I cannot wait to give it all to you! ADOPTION FEE: $395 Apply to adopt me at www.floridacockerrescue.org

Story
Hello! They call me Lemon Drop- my mama’s name is Lemon. The nice people at the rescue took my mama in right after I was born. She was doing her best to take care of me and keep me safe. Working together, they got me all ready to find my very own family!I am 8 weeks now as of the beginning of March. I am a tiny gal, currently weighing 2.5 lbs. But don’t let my size fool you- I have a BIG personality! I am playful, friendly and cuddly. As an only pup, I haven’t had a lot of exposure to other puppies, but I’m friendly and wag my tail when I see them! My mama looks like a Maltese mix- but I look like I may have some chiweenie (rescue’s best guess).My $850 adoption fee includes vet exam, up to date vaccines, deworming, microchip and spay/neuter at one of my rescue's vets in Fort Myers, Naples, Port Charlotte, Orlando or Miami when I'm closer to 6 months old. If you are interested in adopting me, please complete a free non-binding application at www.gofar.dog under Adopt.If you have questions, email my rescue at adoptions@gofar.dog. If you'd like to experience all the love I have, and want to make me part of your family, please complete the adoption application by pasting this link into your browser: https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=sm2546&method=online_form_html&formid=21
