Story
Bogie is a purebred Maltese puppy. He will be 2 in October and generally a happy little pup. He is not suited for small children. They tend to want to hug a small puppy and this little guy has small fragile bones, as is standard with all Maltese. He is about 12.5 lbs and is a good eater. Eats dry food, and a wet food along with some treats. It is not easy to rehome him, however, we have a five year old Maltese who has adapted well to having another pet in the home. He has been paper trained, almost successfully. He will use pee pads in the home. He is best suited for a senior environment where he will happily sit on your lap for hours and will snuggle up to you in bed at night. I truly am looking for a quiet home for him. He certainly deserves a long happy life. It would be ideal if both can be rehomed together.

Story
Rudy is a hardy lovable boy. He does have some arthritis in his real legs so does not jump onto furniture, but we provide steps for him. He is on Gabapentin and Galliprant daily. He has fragile bones like many small dogs that is why I do not recommend small children. They hug toooooo tightly for those fragile bones. He will be five in December and we have had him since he was a puppy. He is quite and loving but can become aggressive when put into a chaotic environment. Approaching strangers is not his best characteristic. I was told by the vet this was his way of protecting me. He is house trained but has recently picked up a habit of "marking" and I have not had the proper time to address this issue, so he is ok with wearing a diaper in the house. I am in a situation where I am overwhelmed with other responsibilities and feel they "deserved" a better home than I am able to provide them. He has a younger brother who is two. His name is Bogie and they get along very well.

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##
