Story
Apply to Adopt Me! NOTE: Bear and Chanel are bonded and must be adopted together. Meet Bear and Chanel, a bonded little family of mom and son who truly love each other! They were surrendered to Lil Rascals by their owner because she didn’t want to care for them any longer after having them their entire lives. Bear is an 8-year-old possible Maltese mix and weighs 14 pounds. He is such a sweet boy. He is a quiet and gentle and loving little soul. He loves to sit close to you while watching TV and asks for belly rubs. He is always ready for a snack. Bear loves to go on walks with his mom and they walk great together. Sometimes they bark at other dogs on the walk but Bear is a good little listener. Bear loves to play with squeaky toys. Bear is house trained and sits quietly with his mom on car rides and also sleeps quietly all night beside Chanel in their foster mom’s bedroom. He gets along with all his fur siblings and loves people and would love to find a quiet home with Chanel. If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and believe you have the perfect home for Bear and Chanel, please complete an app and tell us more about you. December 21, 2025, 12:42 pm

Story
Jax is 4 years old his birthday is January 29th. We bought him from a friend breeder who breeds Maltese and Shi thus. He is a loyal dog, loves to lay by your feet, to lick your nose, to cuddle in a blanket. We are giving him up because I am currently in nursing school and my kids are currently involved in so many school activities it’s so difficult to give him the attention he deserves. We are heartbroken to have to come to this decision, but he is home alone most times. He does sleep in his crate. He knows commands such as sit, jump, give me paw, and stay when offered a treat. He loves to take out all his toys from his crate, he loves soft, plush, toys like a lamb or teddy. He knows when u say go get it, to run after his toy. He is pretty good at waiting until taken out to relieve himself. In a new location, as all dogs will mark his territory. I get him groomed about every 2- 3 months at PetSmart, he is only sensitive around his eyes but no other complaints.
