Story
Miss Cannoli is a 9-year-old, 9-pound Chihuahua/Maltese mix with a sweet and friendly personality. Don’t let her age fool you—she’s an active little lady who loves walks, playtime with toys, and exploring the world around her. Miss Cannoli is an escape artist if she is not getting the exercise she craves. She cannot go to a home with kids bc she is door darter and need someone able to work on this with her. I truly think if she could get into a home that loves to go for walks to wear her out and stimulate her brain, she wouldn’t feel the needs to explore.

Or, how about these Maltese in cities near Acworth, Georgia

Story
10/16/26 I was adopted last Nov, but my person passed away. It was very sad and I was alone for sometime before someone came to check. I'm back with rescue and recovering from the trauma and have pancreatitis again. I'm getting better, but I'm not quite ready for prime time. My foster wants me to be better so anyone that adopts me only has to make sure I'm eating a low fat diet. I'm very quiet and would be better suited for someone with no other, or just one other pet. I found myself out on my own until I was taken to a noisy scary place called the county shelter. I didn’t have a micro-chip and no one came to find me so I stayed in a small cage for a week until a nice person rescued me. I didn’t look too bad, but I was rushed to the vet after a few days of not eating. The vet discovered I had an infection, and pancreatitis. After some emergency treatment I went home and started on a low fat diet. I’m doing very well now. I’m a quiet little man and I have eyes that look clear into my soul. My hearing isn't very good. I do get along just fine with all my housemates so another small pup would be fine. I’m just the right age and weight for the right family.

PLEASE COMPLETE THE ADOPTION APPLICATION FIRST. WE DO NOT RESPOND TO ONLINE INQUIRIES ONLY ADOPTION APPLICANTS. ADOPTION LINK: https://airtable.com/appJMHBItTE2RWdqD/shrsP6tKWM2HcFZaA GEORGIA ADOPTIONS ONLY WE DO NOT ADOPT OUT OF STATE. Located in Atlanta, GA Meet Artemis, aka Artie! Artie is a little guy with a big personality. We rescued him from the Cobb County shelter, and he’s been learning ever since he joined our Best Chance Program. He’s smart, picks up new skills quickly, and can be a sweetheart when he comes to you for affection. He generally does well with people, currently lives with other dogs in his foster home, and attends training day camps with our partners at Mirror Image K9. Artie is a great dog who has made real progress. He has a bite history and needs an adult-only home. He can be cuddly on his own terms, and he needs people who will respect his space, learn to read his body language, and follow the guidance his trainers provide. Training is at the heart of our Best Chance Program. At the Ozzie Albies Foundation, we want families to understand their dogs and feel equipped to support them at home. Artie goes home with a training package that the Foundation pays for, including required sessions with Mirror Image K9. His adopters will work directly with the trainers to learn what Artie already knows, how to handle him safely, and how to keep building on his progress in everyday life. Please apply only if you’re ready to attend the training sessions, use the resources we provide, and practice consistently at home. If you’re excited to learn alongside a smart little dog with a lot of character, we’d love for you to meet Artie.

Story
Meet Barbara!! Babs is a sweet and sassy 11 yr old Maltese mix who had a family her whole life until one day they just up and abandoned her. We have no idea why but there couldn't possibly be a good enough reason to abandon sweet Babs on her own! Given Babs history of abandonment she gets very attached to her people and wants to be nearby all of the time. Because of that, she will require someone who is either retired or works remote - Babs will not be happy home alone for hours at a time. She would prefer adult human company though - no children and preferably no other dogs. Babs is house trained when kept on a schedule but will also use pee pads and is a great little leash walker!   Interested in adopting sweet Babs? Email adrienne@rescuemega.org or fill out an adoption application on our website - www.rmgdogs.org ##2862779##
