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
So pookie is very loving she loves to kiss and she jumps a lot on you. She has been around children and she’s great with them but like I said she jumps a lot. I have a cat and she likes to smell her butt and wants to play but my cat is not interested in playing. She pounces on my cat. She will be turning 6yrs old the day after Christmas. I have her records since I got her at 3 months old. She is actually from PETSMART. I paid $6000 for her. She is basically a vegetarian. I used to feed her chicken but it really made her eyes brownish red and now I feed her vegetarian dry food. And fresh veggies. She needs a lot of love and attention and exercise. Her nails are very hard and she gives me bruises because of my skin age. I clean her eyes daily.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Winky & Dobby!We would love for these two to stay together but it is not required although we do think they will need a home with another dog if they are separated.   Winky enjoys running in a FENCED YARD.Winky is the adventurous and mischievous soul of the house; a relentless lizard hunter who never gets tired of his toys. Although he is very obedient, sociable, and incredibly loving, his safe space is his brother, so he sometimes gets a little nervous around unfamiliar dogs. Plus, he is such a food lover that he needs his slow feeder bowl for proper digestion!  Dobby is the complete opposite: the calm, serious, and tender gentleman of the family. Even though he enjoys his playtime, his energy runs out much faster than his brother's, preferring to trade action for long belly rub sessions. For Dobby, pure happiness is finding the fluffiest, most cushioned spot in the house to relax to his heart's content. Together, Winky's boundless energy and Dobby's serenity create a beautiful balance.The pair has been running around in the backyard with larger dogs, and would be happiest in a home with yard to romp and play in.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 17, 2026, 4:21 pm

Story
Hi, I'm Daisy!  I’m a tiny, 8-lb Maltese/Poodle blend girl and I'm 10 years old. My hearing and vision aren't what they used to be, but I don’t let that stop me from exploring. Now I just need to discover a very special, patient family who will love me just the way I am. Favorite Things: Daisy LOVES her food and loves soaking up attention. Toys and playing are not really her thing, but exploring her surroundings is high on her list of favorite activities. She also loves being around her person and will sit next to them as much as possible (and extra close in bed at night). Training & Manners:  Daisy is working on her house training and will need to be taken outside frequently.  Due to her vision, she doesn’t do well on a leash so will need more practice with leash walking, and her hearing sometimes makes it difficult to communicate with her. The good news is that she is highly food-motivated to improve her manners.  She is verbal when she wants food but is otherwise quiet. Health and Care: Daisy is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. She is on daily drops for dry eyes and takes her monthly preventatives for fleas and heartworm, along with medications for anxiety. She will likely require professional grooming every 6-8 weeks to keep her looking and feeling her best. Other Animals:  Daisy has experience with other small dogs and cats.  Children: This gentle, curious gal would do best in a home with respectful teens only.    Ideal Home: Daisy would do well in an apartment, condo or single-family home.  Her “dream” home would be a house without steps (although she is tiny enough to carry) and no pool (for safety reasons with her vision impairment).  A fenced yard would keep her safe and give her room for her adventurous explorations. She has free rein of her foster home and can be left for several hours without issues. She sleeps in the “people bed” at night and is happy to cozy up to her person. Overall: Daisy is a great and loyal companion asking only for food, love, attention, and patience (and creativity when it comes to communication.)  Could special Daisy be the one for you? If so, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org and submit an adoption application. If it looks like a good fit, her foster family will reach out with more information. Her adoption donation is $175. ##2667454##

Story
Meet Cotton Ball, a 17-year-old Bichon with a heart full of love and a zest for life! This sweet, spunky senior boy may be a little older, but he certainly hasn’t lost his playful spirit. Cotton Ball enjoys having fun, loves a good nap, and is happiest when he’s getting attention and enjoying life’s simple pleasures. He’s proof that age is just a number, and he’s ready to spend his golden years surrounded by love, comfort, and a family who will cherish his sweet personality. If you’re looking for a special senior who still has plenty of personality and love to give, Cotton Ball may be your perfect little companion! PLEASE NOTE: All your current pets must be spayed/neutered, vaccinated and on heartworm prevention to adopt from Polka Dogz. We only adopt in Florida. All adoption fees go to help all the dogs in the rescue, some of which require extensive medical care. Thank you for caring for the greater good. Adoption fee is $150 and you can adopt me at www.polkadogz.org. ##2844387##
