Story
PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL’S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING! Hi, I’m Suga 🤍🐾 I’m a 1.5-month-old Maltese/Havanese mix with a gentle heart and a sweet, curious personality. I’m still new to my foster home, so I’m learning all about the world one step at a time 💛 I can be a little shy at first, but I’m very loving and eager to please. Once I start to feel comfortable, I show little bursts of playfulness and enjoy exploring, especially outside. I’ve even started to show interest in playing fetch! I respond really well to positive reinforcement and seem to be a quick learner. I’m already crate trained, potty trained, and leash trained, which is a great start for a young pup like me. I’m still adjusting to a routine and recently got neutered, so I’m just taking things day by day and figuring it all out. I’ve done well with small dogs so far and would likely enjoy a calm home where I can continue building confidence at my own pace. Because I’m still settling in, my ideal home would be patient, understanding, and ready to help me grow into the confident, loving companion I’m meant to be. A yard would be a great bonus for me to explore and play, but most importantly, I just need someone who will give me time, consistency, and lots of love 🤍 A little note from my foster: Suga is still learning his surroundings and routine, but he’s already showing how sweet, adaptable, and eager-to-please he is. With a little patience, he’s going to blossom into an amazing companion 🐾✨ Adoption FEE: $600, which includes his neuter, microchip, and vaccines.

Story
We adopted him as a gift from someone else because he was in need of a new home. He is 4 years old and is in good condition. We would like him to please be brought into a loving and caring home with a good environment where he has enough space to feel free and not caged up. He's always been super playful for as long as we've known him. He's very energetic. He loves eating, running, and he also loves playing with ice cubes. He loves scratches and belly massages. If you're going to take in our dog, please promise to take super great care of him, love and cherish him forever.

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.
