Story
My previous owner must have fed me all the time so I ate all the time and now I need to get my svelte figure back with your help. I enjoy walking around at rescue, so I’m not a couch potato. I was in awful condition when I was rescued. My ears had handful of fur in them and I was pretty matted all over. I get along with everyone at rescue. I stay clear of the rowdy ones, but if they want to sit with me I’m good with that. I’m a good girl. I want a family that will keep me safe and I’ll reward you with lots and lots of love.

Story
I spent a year in my home without my person. Someone came by once a day to feed me, but I was alone the rest of the day and night. My person was sick for a long time and didn’t make arrangements when he passed away. A good Samaritan reached out to Act2Pups and they agreed to take me in. I hadn’t been groomed in a year. Although I use potty pads they weren’t changed very much and I was a mess when I was finally rescued. As you can see I was a mop head and now I’m cleaned up. My skin needs some work and I’m getting a dental next week (week of November 10th). I’m a happy girl. I just love being cuddled. I’ll race around and stand on my back legs to be picked up. I’m fine with other small dogs and older children.

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.Adoption fee: $125.00   Crouton is 13 years old and weighs 17.5 pounds, he is not overweight, he is just a big boy!  We are not sure what breed he is, his DNA test say he is 51% Maltese, but his foster Mom wonders about those results!  He is house trained, he may have an accident occasionally, but if taken outside regularly, he will be fine!   He is not one to 'snuggle', but he does want to be close to his human, he will follow his people around the home, and he loves to sleep in the bed with his family.  He even 'begs' to be helped into the bed!   Crouton does have a few things going on, he has some cysts on his back, but because of his age and how many there are, we are not going to have them removed.  His veterinarian fees certain they are benign.  And it is obvious that he has had chronic ear infections in the past that were not treated, and because of the scaring now in his ears, he will always need maintenance for them.  Meaning to make sure they are cleaned on a regularly basis.  And he also has had yeast skin infections, so he may need the occasional medicated bath.  He also has either some arthritis or a weakness in his hips, but he doesn't seem to be to bothered by it, he uses doggies steps to get on the couch, which works great.  He is also partially deaf, he can hear very loud sounds, but for the normal level talking he is not able to hear.  He responds to hand signals very well, and he can also see really good.   Crouton is waiting for his forever home in Gainesville, FL, please consider him as a possible new member of your family!   Adoption fee: $125.00 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.

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.Simon & Mia   This little bonded Maltese pair are in need of Sponsor Angels. They can not be separated. SCMR will care for them as long as they need us.    Mia is 10 years old and weighs only 5.6 pounds. She has a 6/6 heart murmur  and mitral valve disease with left ventricular enlargement which makes anesthesia very dangerous, if not impractical, for any procedures she needs such as a dental for her advanced dental disease. She also has high blood pressure.   Simon is 7 years old and 10.6 pounds. He has hip dysplasia and severe luxating patellas. Also he has advanced dental disease and a mast cell tumor on his side. He will be closely monitored for signs of pain and decreased mobility.   Please help us make life as easy and painless as possible for these two by making a tax deductible donation as a Sponsor Angel. SCMR will send you a tax acknowledgement for your donation. All donors will be listed as Sponsor Angels on Simon & Mia's posting on our web site. 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.
