Story
Meet Nugget!! Nugget is a 2-year-old Maltese mix. He is an absolute cuddle bug! Nugget enjoys going for walks and exploring the paddock. His favorite thing to do, though, is cuddle in the laps of the volunteers. He does well with other small dogs. Nugget will make a great addition to any family or companion. Interested in getting to know Nugget? Please fill out an application for a meet and greet.

Story
Barbara is a 14-year-old Maltese who originally belonged to my mother. Unfortunately, my mother is now seriously ill and can no longer care for her, and I stepped in to help. As Barbara has continued to age, her needs have increased beyond what I’m able to manage in my current situation. She is a sweet, gentle senior who has been deeply loved her whole life. At this stage, she is experiencing age-related incontinence and anxiety/whining, which require a calm environment, patience, and experience with senior dogs. I’m looking for a compassionate, senior-friendly home ideally someone experienced with elderly dogs, incontinence, and end-of-life care. A quieter home with someone who is present more often would be best for her comfort and well-being.
