Story
Looking to responsibly rehome my sweet Maltese/Pomeranian mix to a loving home. She will be 6 years old in October and is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccines and veterinary care. She is fully grown, out of the puppy stage, and will come with her crate, toys, food, and other supplies. She is an affectionate, loving little dog who enjoys cuddling on the couch, going for walks, playing with her toys, and being close to her people. She has a sweet personality and loves attention, belly rubs, and spending time with her family. This has been an incredibly difficult decision. Unfortunately, my baby daughter has developed allergies, and after much thought and discussion with her pediatrician, I have realized that rehoming her is the best decision for both my family and my dog. As a new mom balancing work, travel, and a growing family, I want to make sure she receives the time, attention, and love she deserves. I am looking for the best possible fit.

Story
Dastan isn’t just a dog—he’s a loyal, big-hearted companion waiting to be someone’s whole world. This loving boy thrives on attention and affection, and he’s happiest when he can soak up every bit of love you have to give. Dastan would do best as the only pet in the home, where he can truly shine and build a deep, one-on-one bond with his person. If you’re looking for a devoted best friend who will greet you with excitement, stay by your side, and fill your days with warmth, Dastan is ready to give you his whole heart.*Please be aware that he follows a strict low-fat diet, and his treats must be made with limited, simple ingredients.He will also need dental care and vaccinations completed immediately, looking for someone prepared to take that on right away.I am hoping to find a home that understands his needs and is ready to provide the care and attention he deserves. Please only apply if you are confident you can meet these requirements.

Story
Meet Styx — 7 pounds of pure cuteness and companionship Styx is the definition of a velcro pup. His favorite place in the world is right beside his people, whether that’s curled up on the couch, riding along for errands, or simply following you from room to room. He’s a sweet, loving little guy who thrives on companionship and would do best in a home where someone is around more often than not. He’s potty trained, doing great with crate training, and actually enjoys sleeping in his crate at night. Styx gets along well with other dogs and cats, and would do best in a home with another companion. He also thrives on routine and structure and enjoys daily walks for exercise. Despite his tiny size, Styx has a big personality and an even bigger heart. He loves car rides, cuddles, and being included in everyday life. If you’re looking for a loyal little shadow who just wants to love and be loved, Styx may be your perfect match. Thank you for your interest in one of our Hero Babies! Before inquiring, we thought it was important to share a few of our policies. Your Current Pets - We do require that your current dogs and cats are current on vaccines and spayed/neutered. Adoptions - We do not have a shelter and are a foster-home based organization. We do require that you have an approved adoption application to schedule a meet and greet. You can fill out an adoption application on our website, www.herorescue.org/adopt. Once your application is approved it will be sent to the foster family that is currently caring for the dog. They will be able to provide information on likes, dislikes, personality, etc. They will also schedule a time for you to meet the dog. We do require a home visit prior to adoption. Inquiries - If you would like more information on any dogs in the rescue, please email us at info@herorescue.org.
