The sweetest little girl you could imagine, Princess is the perfect blend of eager walker and snuggly lap dog. She was sadly abandoned by her family and left at the groomer where everyone was in shock that anyone could treat a gentle, kind and loving pup this way. Princess has remained affectionate, amenable and optimistic, always ready for together time and petting. She is a friendly lady who gets along well with other dogs and who loves to be cuddled.

🐶 Meet Ricky – Your New Best Friend! Maltese/French Bulldog Mix – 3 Months Old – 100% Heartthrob Introducing Ricky, the pint-sized pup with a big personality and a face that will melt your heart! This 3-month-old Maltese/French Bulldog mix is all charm—just look at that head tilt! With his soft white fur, little caramel ear tips, and round puppy eyes, Ricky is basically a living plush toy. Ricky is playful, curious, and incredibly affectionate. He’s the kind of pup who wants to be part of everything you're doing—whether it’s playtime on the floor or snuggles on the couch. He’s working on his potty training like a champ and loves to learn (especially when treats are involved). He’s great with people, friendly with other animals, and would do well in just about any loving home—especially one that has time to help him grow into the amazing dog he’s destined to be. Ricky is up to date on his vaccinations and will need to be neutered when he’s older. He’s ready to bring joy, laughter, and unconditional love to his forever home. 💌 Ready to make Ricky yours? Fill out an adoption application today and come meet this irresistible little guy!

Story
Toodles is a bright, happy, and friendly boy. He is energetic and enjoys people time, as well as romping in the yard and going for walks. He is very appreciative of all the attention and love he receives. Toodles is very good one on one with people, but can be overwhelmed and defensive if too many people come to him at once. Also, he gets along with most dogs, but occasionally he does not.             Toodles is a gorgeous Maltese, about 4 1/2-5 years old, and 15-16 pounds. Because of his bit of a quarky side, he needs people who can show him patience, compassion, and understanding. He would be best as the only dog in his new home or with one other nice dog we would have to try him with.  It would also be best for him to have just one new parent, but not mandatory. Toodles has had a rough life so far, but certainly deserves a chance at a new, loving, forever family. If you believe you can give him that chance, please put in an application today. Please watch the video at the end of the photos to see Toodles enjoying his people time and showing off his zest for life.March 10, 2025, 4:07 pm

Story
Tiny is a 11 year old, 5 lb. female Maltese. She was surrendered with her Shih Tzu brother Domino. Would like to adopt them together as they are bonded. Her prior owners husband had a stroke plus she was pregnant and felt it would be best to rehome them since she didn’t have time for them. She’s such a cutie patootie. She sleeps above my head on a pillow and does not move the whole night. She is just happy to finally be loved.  Her little personality is coming out to and she loves to bark and even play now as well. Her and her brother Domino both enjoy going on walks and our 2x per week trip to the dog park! She’s housebroken too. $250 Adoption fee includes vaccines, spay, dental, bloodwork, heartworm test, deworming, and microchip. For more info email info@savinggracefl.org. If you are interested in adopting please submit an adoption application on our website www.savinggracefl.org.May 11, 2025, 2:50 am
