Story
Hi there, I’m Chip! I’m an 8-year-old, 8-pound Maltese boy, and I’m looking for my new BFF. I know what you’re thinking — a Maltese this adorable must have some catch. Nope! My foster family genuinely can’t stop raving about me, and honestly? I get it. I’m smart, playful, easygoing, and I love pretty much everyone I meet — people, dogs, you name it. I just have a lot of love to give! My house manners are excellent (you’re welcome), and I am always down to be wherever the action is. Right in the middle of things, right next to my humans — that’s my happy place. I’m talking day AND night, and yes…I’ve got my eye on that big bed. I also happen to be the world’s best travel companion. Car rides? Love them. Adventures? Let’s go. I’m small, compact, and perfectly designed to be somebody’s shadow wherever life takes you. I do need to shed a tiny bit of weight (my foster mom says I’m “fluffy”), so a daily walk would be chef’s kiss for both of us. Which, by the way, I love walks — so that works out perfectly. If you’re ready for a sweet, devoted, always-by-your-side good boy, I’m your guy. Apply to adopt me through our website, www.floridacockerrescue.org. Adoption fee: $395

Story
Hi my name is Mopsy! I'm estimated at 5 years old, weigh 8-9 lbs and appear to be full maltese (can't be guaranteed). I was surrendered with a few of my friends, Topsy 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 $350 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
