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 no other dogs - she chooses her one person and bonds quickly. 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##

Story
Meet Toby!  They don’t get much cuter than this guy!! Toby is a one(ish) year old Maltese mix who wastes no time winning over the hearts of everyone he meets!! Don’t let his small size fool you though! This guy packs a lot into his small little body….a lot of personality; a lot of energy; and most importantly a lot of LOVE!  Toby is great with other dogs of all sizes and cats! He’s looking for an ACTIVE family with at least one other playful dog and a fenced in yard to run around and get his zoomies out. Toby is an energetic and playful guy and so would not be a good fit for low energy households or for adopters with mobility or balance concerns.  Are you looking for a new BFF to hit all of the Fall Festivals with? Toby just might be your guy! Email adrienne@rescuemega.org or fill out an adoption application on our website- www.rmgdogs.org ##2865493##

Story
Oliver is an 8 year old, 11 lb Maltese with a sweet, gentle personality. After spending his early years in a puppy mill, he’s shy with new people and situations, but once he feels safe, he’s a loving little companion who enjoys being close to his people. Oliver would do best in a quiet, adult-only home. He’s is warming up to men, although he tends to trust women more quickly. While Oliver is fostered with other animals, he doesn’t love sharing his humans’ attention with them, so he would be happiest as an only pet. He isn’t destructive and doesn’t need to be crated, as crates can make him feel protective. Oliver does wear a belly band indoors. If you have a calm home and the patience to let Oliver settle in at his own pace, you’ll gain a devoted little friend. To adopt him, please apply on www.orphanannierescue.org His adoption fee is $300, which includes his shots up-to-date, microchipping, neuter, heartworm testing, and dental cleaning.

Story
Meet Elle Woods! Elle is a 2–3-year-old, 4 lb mixed-breed girl who we suspect may be a Maltese/Chihuahua mix. She came to us with a limp, and X-rays revealed an old fracture that had healed incorrectly. Unfortunately, amputation was the only option, but Elle has recovered beautifully and hasn't let it slow her down one bit! Elle is dog and cat friendly and especially enjoys playing with smaller dogs. She walks nicely on a leash and is also happy to ride along in a backpack carrier, making her a great little hiking companion! She's good in the car and is doing well with both crate and house-training, although her tiny bladder means she can't hold it for very long periods. Her ideal home would have another small, friendly dog to keep her company and give her a playmate. Elle may be tiny, but she's ready to take on the world with her forever family! To adopt this princess, please apply on www.orphanannierescue.org Her adoption fee is $550, which includes her shots up-to-date, microchipping, spay, heartworm testing, and dental cleaning.

These pups are in Alpharetta, Georgia too!

Story
    Meet Sasha Sam – Your Future Lapdog & Quiet Companion Sasha   Sam is a charming, 3-to-5-year-old, male, Japanese Chin mix, looking for the perfect forever home where he can truly shine. This little gentleman is already crate-trained and fully house-trained, and he walks beautifully on a leash. He is always ready and very much enjoys calm strolls.   Once Sasha Sam feels safe, he transforms into the sweetest    boy you’ll ever meet. He adores being a dedicated lapdog, and he lights up with pure joy when it’s time to play. Sasha thrives in a peaceful, low noise household. Everyday sounds can set off a lot of barking, so he needs a calm environment free from constant noise or chaos. Soft, patient introductions are key - he needs time to “warm up” to new people and dogs at his own pace. Because he can become fearful and reactive if overwhelmed, he requires an adult-only home or one with teens and older. The ideal setup is a single family home where he is the only dog, or at most one other calm canine companion.   If you’re seeking a devoted, playful little friend who will reward your patience with affection and loyalty, Sasha Sam is ready to fill your quiet home with love. Give this special Japanese Chin the gentle, peaceful life he deserves - he’ll repay you with the sweetest companionship imaginable. An Adoption Application for this dog can be found and submitted online. http://www.angelsrescue.org/adopt/adoption-forms  Please be sure to like our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/angelsrescue.  Email inquiry@angelsrescue.org  Note: Some apartments and neighborhoods have breed restrictions. We verify rental policies and adhere to any regulations. Please ensure you understand those restrictions before choosing a dog.          November 11, 2026, 6:15 pm
