Story
Toby is an adorable and sweet dog. We have had him for 9 years since he was 8 weeks old. My father is blind and is living with me. Toby is playful and often gets in my dad’s way causing him to trip. Unfortunately a few months ago, Toby was diagnosed with diabetes and a heart murmur. Just a few days ago, I noticed a change in his vision. With my work schedule, dad’s health condition, and financial situation (single parent) I am unable to continue to care for Toby. It breaks my heart but I am looking for a caring and loving home for my Toby.I am able to bring Toby anywhere in the US.

Story
Rudy is a five-year-old Maltese who is a hardy and lovable boy. We have had him since he was a puppy, but I am currently in a situation where I am overwhelmed with other responsibilities and feel he deserves a better home than I am able to provide right now.Rudy is:• Friendly and gets along very well with his younger brother, Bogie• Quiet and loving in calm environments• House trained (though he has recently started "marking" and wears a diaper occasionally)• Managing arthritis with daily Gabapentin and Galliprant• Best suited for a home without small children due to his fragile bonesRudy uses steps to get onto furniture and is most comfortable in a quiet, stable environment. While he is very loyal, he can become aggressive in chaotic settings or when approached by strangers, which our vet describes as his way of being protective.

Story
PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL’S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING! 🐾🤍 Hi, I’m Betty White! 🐶🩷👑 I’m a 13-year-old Maltese with a tiny little body, a gentle heart, and a whole lifetime of love still waiting to be shared. 🥹💕 I may be a senior lady, but I like to think that just makes me a little extra special. After all, the sweetest things in life are often the simplest. I'm a quiet, delicate soul who doesn't ask for much. I don't need grand adventures, endless entertainment, or a busy schedule. All I'm dreaming of is a soft bed, a peaceful home, and someone who will love me just the way I am. 🤍 I can be a little shy and nervous, especially when things feel unfamiliar. But underneath that timid exterior is an incredibly sweet, loving girl who just wants to feel safe. I have a gentle, submissive personality, and I get along with dogs both big and small. 🐾💕 At 13 years young, I've decided I'm perfectly happy being myself! 👑 I'm already potty trained and crate trained, and while learning new tricks isn't exactly on my retirement agenda, I have something even better to offer: a quiet, loving presence and a heart that asks for very little in return. 🥰 🏡 My ideal forever home: * 🏡 A quiet, peaceful home where I can relax and feel safe. * 🤍 A small, loving family who will give me patience, kindness, and gentle affection. * 🛏️ A soft, cozy bed! Somewhere comfortable to rest my little paws and finally settle in. * 🐶 A home with other dogs could be lovely! I get along with both big and small canine companions. * 🌸 An apartment or townhome would suit me just fine. I don't need a big house to have a beautiful life. * ❤️ A family who understands that senior dogs deserve just as much love, comfort, and happiness as puppies do. 💌 A word from my foster: “Betty White is an adorable, shy little angel who just needs a soft bed to land. She's tiny, quiet, and has the sweetest soul. She expects absolutely nothing and asks for so little. All she really needs is a peaceful home and someone willing to give her the love she deserves.” 🥹 Sometimes, the dogs who ask for the least are the ones who deserve the most. I don't need you to promise me the whole world. I just need a little corner of yours where I can feel safe, loved, and finally home. 🤍 ✨ I may be in my golden years, but I still have so much love left to give. And I'm hoping there's someone out there who believes that every little soul deserves a happily ever after, no matter their age. Could you be my soft place to land? 🐶🤍🏡 Adoption FEE: $150, which includes her spay, microchip, and vaccines.

Bebop

Havanese Maltese

Land O Lakes, FL

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Bebop, an 7-8 year-old Havanese Maltese mix, is an independent and loyal companion who loves being close to his person after establishing a relationship. He did not have the best previous life so you will need a little patience while waiting for him to warm up/trust you. He enjoys lounging around the house, getting chin strokes and back scratches, and would prefer to be home with you, though he can be left alone for periods. While he isn't very playful with toys, he loves going on walks and is a great car rider. Bebop is treat-motivated, which makes him easy to adjust to new situations or surroundings. He does not get along with other dogs and will bark or growl if he sees them on walks, so he's best suited as the only dog in the home. Overall, Bebop is a laid-back dog who simply wants to relax by your side and get lots of love & treats. If kept on a strict potty break schedule, he is potty trained.
