Story
Hi there! I’m Pauley, your future 10-pound companion who believes that love is the only compass you really need. At 11 years young, I’m a mature Maltese gentleman whose eyes might be cloudy (I’m about 95% blind and can only see shadows), and my hearing isn’t what it used to be either (I can only hear clicks). But don’t let that fool you - I’ve got this life thing figured out! I’m your ultimate kitchen assistant (especially when treats are involved) and I’m a smart cookie who’s already mapped out my foster home and how to get to the back door and grass. I’ll bark to let you know when I need to go out or when it’s dinner time! I get along with other dogs — there are several in my foster home and I do just fine. I haven’t met a cat yet but if they are dog-savvy and gentle then we could probably be friends. I’m very friendly to all humans but no small kids (older kids 12 and up would be fine). Now, I do have some preferences! I like my independence and prefer to sleep on a cozy blanket on the floor in the living room rather than on couches. At night, I sleep in my people’s room in my bed (an pen works great - I’m not a fan of crates). I’m not much of a cuddler or a toy player, but my favorite hobby is EATING! LOL. My four remaining teeth work just perfectly so don’t hold anything back! I’m about 95% housebroken when you’re persistent with taking me out on a regular schedule. I wear a belly band when my people aren’t home and at night, just to be safe. I prefer not to ride in the car, but I do love getting out for walks and sniffing the beautiful world on my own schedule - going out, eating, and napping are my ideal day! I need someone who is home a lot and can give me the consistent routine I thrive on. I’m proof that the most beautiful souls sometimes come in packages that need a little extra TLC and understanding. Could you be my patient, loving companion? I promise to be your loyal shadow! Apply here: www.floridacockerrescue.org. ADOPTION FEE: $295

Story
Hello- my name is Mateo. I was surrendered by my owner to a vet’s office. Thankfully, the people at Guardians of Florida Animal Rescue were notified and stepped up to take me in. I am a bit over 3yrs old and an adorable Maltese mix- the rescue thinks maybe with Shih Tzu (best guess)? I am “well rounded”, weighing about 20lbs. I get along well with small dogs, but not fond of big dogs. I walk good on leash and try to keep my kennel clean. I have pep in my step, so am looking for someone who likes to go on walks.My $450 adoption fee includes vet exam, up to date vaccines, neuter, deworming and preventatives while in our care, heartworm test (negative) and microchip.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
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.
