Story
My dog Rocky is 10year old. He is a sweet, calm, loving, loyal maltese. He was with my daughter for many years before she gave him to me upon moving away for school. A few months after him coming to me I found out he had congestive heart failure. He has been taking medication and continues to eat, go for his daily walks however, I am no longer able to afford the vet bills. He is in need of a loving home who is willing to care for him.

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. Tank: Big name. Tiny dog. Total softie. Don’t let the name fool you—this Tank runs on cuddles. At 1 year old and just 12 pounds, this sweet Morkie is more lap warmer than heavy machinery. Tank’s favorite place? Wherever you are. He’s a little shadow who will happily follow you from room to room, just in case you sit down and need a dog on your lap. Personal space? He’s pretty sure that means space for him, personally. And with one ear always perked up and the other delightfully floppy, Tank looks like he’s listening to your plans while keeping his options open. When he’s off cuddle duty, Tank enjoys playing with other dogs and showing off his good leash manners on walks. He’s the perfect little sidekick for a stroll, a playdate, a shopping spree, or a very important afternoon of doing absolutely nothing together. Tank is up to date on his vaccinations and is scheduled for neutering on Monday. Adopters must be within an hour of our Riverview, Saint Pete, Brandon, and Wesley Chapel vet clinics.  Tank will need to be groomed. Since he's new to the rescue, we're still assessing his potty training skills.  Ready to bring in the Tank? Clear a little space on your lap—and a big space in your heart. ❤️ Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 17, 2026, 8:44 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. ⛈️ MEET THUNDER! A LITTLE STORM CLOUD FULL OF LOVE! ⛈️   1 year old | 12 lbs | Yorkie-Maltese Mix   Who named you Thunder? ️ We wonder! Because this little guy is anything but loud, booming, or stormy. Instead, he’s a gentle, happy soul whose favorite place in the world is wherever his favorite human happens to be. ❤️   ☁️ Professional cuddler? ABSOLUTELY! ☁️   On your lap? Yep. At your side? Of course. On your feet? Naturally. Curled up around your head while you sleep? Well… why wouldn’t he be? ❤️   Thunder doesn’t just bond with his people. He practically WELDS himself to them! He’s the kind of little companion who will make himself right at home in your heart before you even realize what happened.   But don’t let all that sweetness fool you! This boy has a playful side, too! He loves a good game of fetch with his favorite squeaky toy and is always happy to include his humans in the fun.   And how does he do with other dogs? ⭐ NAILED IT! ⭐   When Thunder first arrived at his foster home, he was introduced to a pack of four other rescue dogs. He was respectful and a little cautious at first, but in less than a day, he had found his place and was happily accepted into the crew.   Thunder really IS the perfect name for him after all. Because while he may not make a sound, he’s sure to make your heart beat a little louder and bring sunshine to even your rainiest days. ️➡️☀️   HOUSE-TRAINING UPDATE!   He’s only been with his foster family for a day, but so far, Thunder is making a GREAT impression! He hasn’t had any accidents in the house, and he made it through the entire night without needing to go outside.  We’re still learning how long he can comfortably be left alone indoors   Thunder is still awaiting his neuter, which will be completed and covered by the rescue. He’s ready to find the family who will love his cuddles, cherish his companionship, and make him their forever little shadow.   Could Thunder be your missing piece of sunshine?   Apply to adopt: 4luckydogs.org Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 17, 2026, 8:44 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##
