Story
Hi… I’m Ozzie. They think I’m a Poodle/Maltese mix, about 5 years old, and I weigh just over 9 pounds. I may be pint-sized, but my heart? It’s huge. I love everyone I meet, and even after everything, I’m just so happy to be here. I do well in my crate, but if I’m being honest, my favorite place in the whole world is your lap. That’s where I feel safest. That’s where I feel like I belong. I’m playful with my foster buddies and I don’t bother the cat at all. I looove treats (I get extra wiggly when I see them!), and I get so excited when the leash comes out because that means I get to go outside and feel the fresh air. Every little thing feels like a gift to me. Before this, I came from a very scary shelter. I had been on my own for a long time, and my fur was so matted and tangled that they had to shave me down. I was a little mess. But my hair is growing back now, and I’m starting to look pretty cute again — and it feels really good to be cared for. They think my foot might have been run over by a car at some point. I have three broken toes. Nobody knows exactly what happened to me back then… but I do know this: it doesn’t slow me down. I still run, I still play, I still love with everything I have. I don’t dwell on the hard parts. I just want to be close to someone. I just want a soft lap, gentle hands, and a home where I’ll never be alone or forgotten again. I’m small. I’m resilient. I’m full of love. And I’m waiting for my forever person.

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.
