Story
I’m a 2-year-old Korean Maltese with a joyful heart and a playful spirit. After spending my early life being used for breeding, I’m finally free to just be me — a sweet, happy boy who loves to play, cuddle, and make new doggy friends. 🐶💕 I absolutely adore other dogs and thrive on companionship. My dream home is with a young retired or work-from-home family who has the time and love to share with me every day. Because of my size and needs, I’m looking for a calm, adults-only home — no small children, please. I also ask that applicants reside in Collier or South Lee counties only, as that helps ensure the best long-term support for me. I have so much love to give and a lifetime of happiness ahead. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to a gentle little soul like me, I’ll be right here, tail wagging and waiting. 🤍🐾

Story
For the first 4 years of my life, I wasn’t really anyone’s “baby.” I was just a stud dog for a breeder, kept to make puppies and never truly loved for me. 💔 I didn’t know what it meant to be part of a family, to be cuddled on a couch, or to be told I was special. But things are different now—I was rescued, and for the very first time, I’m getting to learn what it feels like to be safe. 🐶💕 I’m a sweet, gentle 6-pound Maltese. I get along with dogs and even cats, and I’m looking for a forever home with someone experienced with little ones like me. I’m already neutered, vaccinated, and healthy—just waiting for my new chapter to begin. What I dream about most? A calm, loving home where I’m not left alone too much, where someone will show me every day that I’m more than just a “breeder dog.” 🥹 Could that someone be you? I’m ready to give you my heart—and I promise it’s a really big one for such a little guy. ❤️ Serious Adopters from Southern Lee County and Collier County only. We are a volunteer organization.

Story
Hello! They call me Lemon Drop- my mama’s name is Lemon. The nice people at the rescue took my mama in right after I was born. She was doing her best to take care of me and keep me safe. Working together, they got me all ready to find my very own family!I am 8 weeks now as of the beginning of March. I am a tiny gal, currently weighing 2.5 lbs. But don’t let my size fool you- I have a BIG personality! I am playful, friendly and cuddly. As an only pup, I haven’t had a lot of exposure to other puppies, but I’m friendly and wag my tail when I see them! My mama looks like a Maltese mix- but I look like I may have some chiweenie (rescue’s best guess).My $850 adoption fee includes vet exam, up to date vaccines, deworming, microchip and spay/neuter at one of my rescue's vets in Fort Myers, Naples, Port Charlotte, Orlando or Miami when I'm closer to 6 months old. If you are interested in adopting me, please complete a free non-binding application at www.gofar.dog under Adopt.If you have questions, email my rescue at adoptions@gofar.dog. If you'd like to experience all the love I have, and want to make me part of your family, please complete the adoption application by pasting this link into your browser: https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=sm2546&method=online_form_html&formid=21

Story
Hi there, I’m Gigi! I’m a gorgeous 8-year-old Maltese girl, and at a petite 6 pounds, I am living proof that the best things come in small packages. I ended up at a local shelter, which was quite beneath my standards if I’m being honest, but my rescue family swooped in and now I am thriving and ready to find my forever home! I am, without question, a velcro pup. Where you go, I go. What you do, I do. Are you sitting on the couch? I’m there. Are you soaking up some sunshine outside? I am RIGHT beside you, because sunshine is basically my love language. I am super sweet, incredibly loving, and I give the best kisses — freely and frequently, whether you asked for them or not. I am piddle pad trained, which makes life nice and easy, and I do great with other dogs and probably fine with older, dog-savvy kids too. I love to play and have plenty of personality packed into my tiny little self. One thing I will be upfront about — crates are not my thing. Not even a little. I will absolutely let you know how I feel about them. A crate-free home is definitely the way to my heart! Whether you’re lounging in the sun, going for a stroll, or just hanging at home, I will be your most devoted and adorable companion. Life is simply better with a Gigi in it. Come find me — I have so much love to give and I cannot wait to give it all to you! ADOPTION FEE: $395 Apply to adopt me at www.floridacockerrescue.org
