Story
Please read the entire bio for this rescue, it will provide all the information that one needs to decide if they would like to apply to adopt from SCMR.Missy Adoption fee:  $275.00 Hi. I’m Missy Zelda — nine pounds of fluff, feelings, and fierce loyalty. At nine years young, I’ve mastered the fine art of companionship. My previous parents loved me very much, but they had to move into a nursing home, and now I’m bravely searching for my next forever lap. I promise I come with excellent references in snuggling, listening, and looking adorable while doing absolutely nothing. My hobbies include: Being held like the tiny royalty I am Following you from room to room (purely for supervision purposes) Resting my chin on your arm while you work Stroller rides where I can wave to my fans Becoming your very best friend in approximately 4.7 seconds Oh — and I’m fully potty trained because I’m a lady. ‍&#226&#153&#128&#239&#184&#143 No puppy chaos here. No chewed shoes. No surprise puddles. Just sweet, steady love and lots of soft sighs while I nap beside you.  I may be nine, but that just means I’m in my “perfectly seasoned and emotionally available” era. I’ve already lost one home through no fault of my own — I’m hoping my next one is forever-ever.  If you have a cozy spot on your couch and an open spot in your heart, I’m ready to fill both. I’m small, but my love is mighty. I'm in Georgia!  Love, Missy Zelda  Out-of-state adoptions are possible; however, the approved adoptive home is responsible for making the necessary arrangements to pick up their new little one.  To be considered to adopt me, please fill out an APPLICATION.  NOTE: SCMR does not adopt to homes with children under the age of 10 years or homes with Electric Fences. You can help make a difference one dog at a time. If you would like to sponsor one of our babies, we accept online donations via PayPal or send a check to us at P.O. Box 2005, Chattanooga, TN 37409. We thank you for whatever you can help us with. Any donation is appreciated and is tax deductible, as allowed by law,  as we are a qualified non-profit 501(c)3 organization.    All our males are sent with BELLY BANDS!    for a one time Donation that goes direct to SCMR please go to our paypal link: March 6, 2026, 7:12 pm

Riley, ten years old and Lilly Joy, nine years old, are two female Maltese who recently lost their mom in a tragic accident. These inseparable girls are now safe in a GRRR foster home and are looking for a forever home together. They are very shy and need a patient, loving person willing to build trust, provide gentle structure, and help them continue to learn daily routines. Their vetting is complete, and they’re ready for their next chapter. Think you might be their last stop loved? Apply at grrrsavesdogs.org/applications Questions?

**Important Adoption Information All of our dogs are currently living in private shelters or foster homes in South Korea. Once an adoption is approved, dogs will travel to the United States through legal and approved international transport procedures. Video calls are available prior to adoption, and adopters can communicate with our rescue team in real time through our official organization and app-based messaging channels throughout the process. ----------- • Rescue Story: Meet Tonki👋 In April 2025, a group of small dogs—believed to be victims of an illegal breeding operation—were found abandoned together on the streets of South Korea. Tonki was one of them. Now, he’s ready to leave his difficult past behind and begin a new chapter as a beloved member of a loving family. Having learned how to live happily with humans in his foster home, Tonki is patiently waiting for his forever home—where he’ll be cherished, protected, and loved the way he truly deserves. • Personality: Sweet, Friendly, Bright Tonki is a lovable, easygoing pup with a bright, happy energy. He’s incredibly affectionate and loves showing his humans just how much love he has to give! While he may need a little extra time to warm up to adult men, once he does, he becomes a loyal and devoted furry companion. • Affinity with - Dogs: Wonderful with other dogs! He’d do great as an only dog or as a second dog. - Cats: Not tested - Adults/Kids: Good with people, including kids / Needs a bit more time to warm up to adult men. • House Training: Fully housebroken - using pee pads indoors and going potty outside. • Walking Manners: Super gentle on leash and loves going for walks! • Bathing/Brushing: Tolerates both well. • Separation Anxiety: May howl briefly when first left alone, but once he settled, he relaxes and rests peacefully by himself. • Barks/Howls: Occasional barking when a male family member approaches suddenly. • Car Rides: Comfortable and calm • Appetite/Food Allergies: Big eater! / No food allergies found so far. • Likes/Dislikes: Likes to play with toys that make noise. / Not a fan of being lifted suddenly by a male family member • Shedding level (1~10): 1-2 • Health: Currently a healthy pup! He tested positive for heartworm when rescued, completed treatment successfully, and tested negative in Dec 2025. ----------- **Adoption Fee Information The adoption fee already includes all major expenses, such as: International transportation, Customs and export documentation, Medical care (spay surgery, vaccinations, health certificate, deworming, etc.) For this reason, we kindly ask that you refrain from requesting a breakdown or negotiation of the adoption fee. Your support directly helps us continue rescuing and caring for dogs in need, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding.
