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
Lucky has been with me for about a week. He was given up for free to me due to busy schedule. The person who gave him to me didn’t know if he was up to date on shots so I took him to the vet on 6/16 for a full check up and gets shots which is why I’m asking for $250 because that’s what i payed. He’s a sweet boy but I already have a dog and unable to take on another dog at this time. I want to find his forever home so I would prefer that he goes to a family that is willing to take on another dog.

Story
8 years old, weighing in at about 10lbs. Just a sweet little love! Lived in a home with 10 cats until mom had a fall and was unable to take care of everyone. He thinks he is part cats and has even spent the last few years eating cat food.  Now up to date on vaccines, heartworm tested negative and underwent a dental complete with a few extractions. He is now ready to start looking for a forever spot.  Benny is still full of energy and loves to play, he also has a quiet side where he could spend hours curled up on the top of the couch nearby. He walks well on leash.  adoption fee $300 includes spayed/neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and tested negative for heartworms  .To fill out an application visit https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/33868/generic ##2544990##

Story
    HI Everyone!   My name is Kamryn. I am 8 years old and weigh just under 9 pounds. No one knows what breed I am, but I must have some Maltese in me. I bet I am a mix of several types of white dogs!     I am a very sweet and loving girl. My favorite thing may be meeting new people. Love them all! I am living with 4 other small dogs and that has been going well. I mostly ignore them.   Foster Mom says I should tell you that I am potty trained like any proper lady. I also do well sleeping in my crate. I get a little upset when I have to go in the crate when I am left alone, but I get over it quickly. She says I am a velcro dog because I have to check on her to make sure all is OK.   I look forward to finding a forever home and promise to be the best girl ever!   Hope to meet you soon! Kamryn 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.          June 22, 2026, 6:29 am

Story
Bernadette Peters is a 5-year-old, 9 lb Maltese mix with a gentle soul who is slowly learning to feel safe and loved. She can be shy at first and is still coming out of her shell, but with patience and kindness, her sweet personality truly begins to shine. Bernadette absolutely loves the company of other dogs and would thrive in a home with a confident canine companion to help her feel secure. She enjoys running around the yard, exploring, and playing with her dog friends. While she’s still unsure about toys, she does love her food and gets excited when her people are home. She also enjoys gentle affection, happily soaking up pets and giving sweet kisses in return. Because she previously lived outdoors, Bernadette is still learning house manners and will need a patient adopter committed to continuing her training. She is crate trained and will go into her crate for mealtime. She is also working on leash skills, but at this time she is not comfortable walking on a leash, so a securely fenced yard is REQUIRED. Bernadette does best in a calm, quiet environment. An adult-only home or one with older, gentle individuals would be ideal, as young children may be overwhelming for her. She is good with dogs of all sizes and also does well with cats. With time, love, and understanding, Bernadette will blossom into a devoted and affectionate companion. She’s ready to find a patient home where she can continue building confidence and finally feel safe forever. To adopt her, please apply on www.orphanannierescue.org Her adoption fee is $450, which includes her shots up-to-date, microchipping, spay, heartworm testing, and dental cleaning.

Story
• 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.
