NAME:  Charlie BREED:  Maltese SEX:  Male COLOR:  white AGE:  2 yrs as of July 2026 WEIGHT:  9lbs LOCATED IN:  Arcadia SOME COOL INFORMATION ABOUT ME: Meet Charlie!  Charlie is a 2-year-old Maltese, possibly a mix, weighing almost 9 pounds. He's one of our newer Castaways, so were still getting to know all the little things that make Charlie... Charlie. What we've learned so far is pretty darn sweet. Charlie enjoys being with people and seems happiest when he has someone nearby. He's a friendly little guy who appreciates companionship and gets along well with other dogs, too.  And if you'd like to speed up the friendship process, Charlie would like you to know that treats are always an excellent idea.  When it comes to grooming, Charlie does have an opinion. Clippers are currently getting two paws down.  He doesn't like being groomed with them, so his future family will need to be patient and work with him to find the grooming routine that makes him most comfortable. Since Charlie is still new to us, there are plenty of chapters in his personality that we haven't gotten to read yet. Were still discovering his favorite things, his quirks, and exactly what kind of home will make him happiest. But sometimes you don't need to know everything right away. We already know Charlie is a sweet little dog who likes people, gets along with other dogs, and wants to be part of someone's life. The rest? We cant wait to watch him show us. If you're looking for a little companion and don't mind discovering his personality right alongside us, Charlie would love the chance to get to know you.      If you are interested in adopting please complete our Adoption Application by copying and pasting the following link into your web browser: http://www.caninecastaways.org/adoption-application For a full list of dogs we currently have for adoption use this link:  https://www.caninecastaways.org/adoptable-dogs MEDICAL INFO: The following has been or will be done for this dog... - Basic Exam by Veterinarian - Spayed or Neutered - Heartworm Tested - Placed on heartworm preventive - Basic Bloodwork - Urinalysis - Microchipped - Intestinal Parasite Exam and medication - Vaccinations - Placed on Flea preventive ADOPTION DONATION: $300 This adoption donation helps to cover the vet expenses for this dog including heartworm preventive which is dispensed at the initial vet visit and then goes with the dog at adoption.

Story
Hello, my name is Truman! I am a distinguished, mature aged boy that was surrendered to a local vet office. My rescue thinks I am a Maltese and about 6 years old (best guess).I am very shy but not aggressive. The rescue thinks I was used for breeding- so I didn’t have a regular family dog life. The trainer here says I need help “learning to dog”. I get along great with other dogs, so having a fur sibling would be great and help me learn and settle in. I will need help with my potty and leash training but have already learned I like to cuddle!My $350 adoption fee includes vet check, up-to-date vaccinations, neuter, dental, heartworm test (negative), microchip and deworming. If you want to make me part of your family please go to www.gofar.dog and complete a free, non-binding adoption application. If you encounter any issues with our website, please email adoptions@gofar.dog.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

Story
Bella is part of a bonded pair! She must be adopted with Lily the Chihuahua! Bella is a super sweet and loving girl. She is a total lap dog but very active as well. She loves all people and would be great with an active family who will take her for walks and adventures with her friend Lily. Bella loves to play with toys and eats great. She would absolutely make a super fun sport dog also. For more up to date information on this dog please go to our website @ https://www.playk9rescue.org/adopt-a-dog The adoption fee for this pet covers the cost of care and training which may have been for several weeks or several months depending on the health and training needs. The fee also covers all vet bills during this time to ensure his/her health is improved or maintained and provides you with assurance that this dog has been well cared for while in our possession and evaluated to meet your home's needs. Included in this fee is also life- long group training support provided by PLAY! K9 Academy located in Bradenton, FL as well as Life time microchip registration. When you adopt from a local shelter, you may not receive any medical history for this dog nor will you receive any behavioral history. We hope you understand that the minimal adoption fee we are asking is to continue our mission to rescue unwanted herding and working breeds from shelters/owners and get them adopted to their forever home
