Story
Meet Poppy! Poppy is a 10-year-old Maltese/Poodle mix and the largest member of her adorable little family, weighing in at a whopping 14.5 pounds. While she may be the biggest of the bunch, she's every bit as sweet, gentle, and loving as her best friends Hector, Chia, and Darla. Poppy has a soft, affectionate personality and enjoys spending time with both people and her canine companions. She is the kind of dog who is happy to be included in whatever you're doing, whether that's relaxing on the couch, following you around the house, or joining you for a leisurely stroll. Her calm demeanor and loving nature make her an easy companion to adore. Poppy and her three friends recently lost the person they loved most. Their owner cherished them deeply and had one final wish: that Poppy, Hector, Chia, and Darla stay together. They have spent their entire lives as a family, providing comfort, companionship, and security to one another through every stage of life. Now, these four little dogs are searching for a special person willing to continue that bond. Are you brave enough to take on a four-pack of very cute little dogs? While bringing home four dogs may seem like a big commitment, this tiny family comes with an enormous amount of love. You'll receive four loyal shadows, four warm cuddle buddies, and four grateful hearts. Poppy may be the biggest of the group, but she's just another piece of the puzzle that makes this little family complete. If you have room in your home and heart for Poppy and her friends, you'll be helping fulfill a dying wish and giving four deserving dogs the second chance they deserve.

Story
Meet Darla! Darla is an 8-year-old Shih Tzu/Maltese mix with a heart as sweet as her adorable little face. This gentle girl is part of a very special four-pack that includes her friends Hector, Chia, and Poppy. Together, they make quite the charming crew! Darla is unimaginably sweet and loves being close to her people. She has a calm, loving personality and is happiest when she's receiving attention, snuggles, and affection. Despite a few medical challenges, Darla greets each day with a happy spirit and a wagging tail. Darla has a luxating patella, which occasionally causes her to hold up one of her back legs for a few moments. She is also taking Vetmedin for her heart, but neither of these things slow her down. She still enjoys exploring, spending time with her canine companions, and soaking up all the love she can get. Darla and her three best friends recently lost the person they loved most. Their owner adored them and had one final wish: that Hector, Chia, Poppy, and Darla remain together. They have spent their lives as a family, finding comfort and security in one another, and we hope to honor that wish by finding a very special adopter willing to welcome all four into their home. Are you brave enough to take on a four-pack of very cute little dogs? While adopting four dogs may sound like a big adventure, you'll be rewarded with four times the love, four times the cuddles, and four times the joy. These little dogs don't ask for much—just a soft place to sleep, a loving lap to curl up in, and the chance to stay together. If you have room in your heart and home for this devoted little family, Darla, Hector, Chia, and Poppy would love to meet you.

Story
Marley is well loved and very sweet Maltese. He loves to snuggle with my husband in the recliner in the evenings and gets excited when he comes home. He gets along well with our two other dogs and our young grandchildren. Marley is neutered, up to date on all of his shots (his last vet exam was in December). He is in great health.We believe Marley may be 11 years old. He has never snipped or growled. He also has not ever chewed any household items. He can have accidents so he requires to be let out often.Unfortunately, we need to rehome Marley and our other two little loves due to some significant health issues of a family member. It breaks our hearts to have to rehome our sweet pups, but it is what is best for our family and Marley.
