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
Hi my name is Topsy! I'm estimated at 5 years old, weigh 9-10 lbs and appear to be a full Maltese (can not be guaranteed). I was surrendered with a few of my friends, Mopsy and Flopsy and we are looking for our forever homes. I am quiet and a little shy, but not aggressive at all. It appears we were used for breeding and we are so looking forward to having the life little dogs like us deserve with a real family and real love. I just really don’t know what is expected of me- the trainer here says I need to “learn to be a dog”. I will need help with potty and leash training- it wasn’t important before. I am dog friendly, so maybe having a fur sibling will help me learn?My $450 adoption fee includes vet exam, up to date vaccinations, spay, dental cleaning/work (desperately needed!), deworming, heartworm test (negative), and microchip. If you are interested in adopting me, please complete an application at www.gofar.dog under adopt as soon as possible as little ones like me find homes pretty quickly!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
Hello- my name is Naomi. I am part of a group of dog that Guardians of Florida Animal Rescue took in after a breeder decided we were no longer of use. I am estimated at 3-4 yrs old and weigh about 15lbs. My teeth were in horrible condition so, along with all my other medical needs, my rescue took care of that as well! I am missing one of my back paws, but it doesn’t slow me down or bother me at all! I don't really even know I am a little different than the other doggos!I am a little shy at first, but have found I love to be held and petted. I will need help with leash training and potty training. I am friendly with other dogs and have an overall calm personality.My $325 adoption fee includes vet check, up-to-date vaccinations, spay, heartworm test (negative), microchip and deworming. If you want to make me part of your family please go to www.gofar.dog and complete a free, non-binding adoption application. If you encounter any issues with our website, please email adoptions@gofar.dog.If you have questions, email my rescue at adoptions@gofar.dog.
