Story
Gigi is a “7-years-young” Maltese with a whole lot of joy packed into a little white fluffball. She absolutely adores people and can deliver hundreds of kisses a second—consider yourself warned! Wherever her foster family goes, Gigi is right there, because her favorite place in the world is simply with her people. This sweet girl is energetic, playful, and just a tiny bit bossy in the most entertaining way. She’s full of personality and has a knack for making everyone around her laugh with her antics. Gigi gets along well with other dogs and would do best in a home with another pup around her size to keep her company and share the fun. Gigi’s ideal family is kind, patient, and knowledgeable about the Maltese breed—someone who’s truly looking for a best friend. She thrives on affection, loves cuddles, and wants a home where her quirks are celebrated and her silliness is met with laughter. If you’re ready for nonstop kisses, constant companionship, and a dog who will keep your heart (and your sense of humor) full, Gigi is waiting to meet you.

Story
EuGe is a 9 year old Maltese Terrier cross. He came from a home where they couldn’t care for the dogs any longer. He gets along great with other dogs. He isn’t sure about cats and sometimes barks at mine. He’s a great companion dog, follows me and sits beside my chair. He is passive but playful when stimulated. He’s the perfect little laid back gentleman for a quieter home. He’s leash trained and will use pads. His Vetting is complete: neutered, all vaccinations, flea tick heartworm prevention, dewormed. He has medium length hair but has a shorter summer clip right now. Email arkofcleveland@aol.com or call 423-472-2744.

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
    Hi, I’m Liberty - a feisty, adorable, 9-year-old, Maltese/Poodle mix weighing just 9 pounds. My foster mom says I’m fluffy (I think that’s her sweet way of teasing me). I’ve had a little anxiety in the past, so I sometimes bark when I feel unsure, but I’ve made wonderful progress. Once I know I’m safe, I truly shine. I just need a calm environment and a family who understands me. I’m spayed, fully house-trained, crate-trained, and up to date on all my vaccinations. I even had a dental cleaning! I know my basic commands and take pride in being a well-mannered little lady. My dream home would be quiet and peaceful, with no small children, no shared walls, and a fenced yard where I can enjoy fresh air and sunshine. I’m a sweet girl with a gentle heart, looking for a safe, warm, and loving place to rest my head. Could you be the family I’ve been waiting for?  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.
