Story
Meet Winston! Introducing Winston, a sweet 3-year-old Maltese/Shih Tzu mix who is looking for a patient and loving family to help him feel safe and confident. This adorable boy may be shy and scared at first, but underneath his nervousness is a super sweet pup who just needs time, comfort, and understanding. A Sweet Boy Looking for a Fresh Start Winston came to us as an owner surrender because he was struggling with anxiety and having a hard time settling with everything going on around him. Now, he’s ready for a fresh start in a calm and loving home where he can decompress and learn that he is safe. A Little Shy, But Very Sweet Winston can be scared and shy, especially while he adjusts to his new surroundings. He will need a family who understands that building trust takes time. With patience, reassurance, and plenty of love, Winston can slowly come out of his shell and show you just how sweet he really is. Winston’s Perfect Home Winston would do best in a quiet, peaceful home where he can feel safe and comfortable during his transition. He can live with another dog or as the only dog, as long as his new family is willing to give him the time and space he needs to work through his anxiety. A calm environment and a patient family will be key to helping Winston thrive. If you’re looking for a sweet little companion and are willing to give him the patience, comfort, and safe environment he needs, Winston may be the perfect match for you! Not available for out-of-state adoption at this time. ##2835266##

Story
Oliver is an 8 year old, 11 lb Maltese with a sweet, gentle personality. After spending his early years in a puppy mill, he’s shy with new people and situations, but once he feels safe, he’s a loving little companion who enjoys being close to his people. Oliver would do best in a quiet, adult-only home. He’s is warming up to men, although he tends to trust women more quickly. While Oliver is fostered with other animals, he doesn’t love sharing his humans’ attention with them, so he would be happiest as an only pet. He isn’t destructive and doesn’t need to be crated, as crates can make him feel protective. Oliver does wear a belly band indoors. If you have a calm home and the patience to let Oliver settle in at his own pace, you’ll gain a devoted little friend. To adopt him, please apply on www.orphanannierescue.org His adoption fee is $300, which includes his shots up-to-date, microchipping, neuter, heartworm testing, and dental cleaning.

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
August 19, 2026 - I am back at Act2Pups, I lost my Mom unexpectedly. I'm getting vetted and settling back into rescue. I found myself out on my own until I was taken to a noisy scary place called the county shelter. I didn’t have a micro-chip and no one came to find me so I stayed in a small cage for a week until a nice person rescued me. I didn’t look too bad, but I was rushed to the vet after a few days of not eating. The vet discovered I had an infection, and pancreatitis. After some emergency treatment I went home and started on a low fat diet. I’m doing very well now. I’m a quiet little man and I have eyes that look clear into my soul. My hearing isn't very good. I do get along just fine with all my housemates so another small pup would be fine. I’m just the right age and weight for the right family.

Story
Meet Rowan & Cloey — A Bonded Pair Looking for Their Forever Home Some dogs find their way into each other’s lives and become family. Rowan and Cloey are those dogs. They came to Furkids together, and their bond is incredibly special. Now, they’re looking for a forever home where they can stay together and continue being each other’s source of comfort, companionship, and love. Rowan is a lovable 7-year-old Maltese/Yorkie mix with a gentle, shy personality. He is housebroken and does well with other dogs. Rowan may take a little time to warm up, but once he feels safe, his sweet personality begins to shine. He is especially comforted by having Cloey nearby. Thunderstorms can be frightening for Rowan, so his forever family will need to provide extra reassurance and a cozy, secure place for him during storms. Cloey is a sweet 9-year-old Cairn Terrier with a big heart. She enjoys the company of other dogs and has Rowan by her side, which helps make her feel safe and secure. Cloey is not completely housebroken and is still working on her manners in the home. She can also be a little protective of her house and possessive around food, so her family will need to give her space and help her feel comfortable during mealtimes. With patience, consistency, and understanding, Cloey has so much love left to give. Together, Rowan and Cloey are more than two dogs — they are each other’s family. We believe they deserve the chance to grow old together, side by side, rather than having to wonder where the other one went. If you have room in your heart and home for two wonderful pups, you could give them the greatest gift of all: a forever home where they never have to be separated. Because of their individual needs, we do not recommend Rowan and Cloey for a home with small children. They would do best with an understanding adopter who is willing to give them patience, consistency, and the time they need to feel completely at home. 💕 Adoption fee: $175 per dog 💕 Both dogs must be adopted together. 💕 Adopters must be at least 21 years old. If you’ve ever believed that love means staying together, Rowan and Cloey are waiting to prove you right. Please apply to furkids.org.
