Story
Bailey  is a 2.5 year-old Maltese mix .  He was surrendered  because  his owner  was not prepared for the energy of a young puppy .  He is all legs and is still like a gangly Colt at this point.  He's very kissy and huggable once he gets to know you,  but he also has lots of energy and so will need a fenced-in backyard.  Bailey is not good with children, so he would be best in a home with adults and no kids under 13.  He weighs 15 pounds. He is house trained (not perfect) and crate trained. Alcovy dogs are spayed/neutered, up to date on all vaccines, up to date on heart-worm preventative and flea preventative and micro-chipped. If interested in adoption, please complete an online application on Alcovy Pet Rescue's website at www.alcovypet.com. You must have a vet reference to adopt. We verify the care of past/current pets. Applications without a vet reference will not be approved for adoption. Our goal is to have the very best home for all our dogs and cats and therefore we reserve the right to approve or deny an application based on what we determine is in the pet's best interest.If interested in adoption, please complete an online application on Alcovy Pet Rescue's website at www.alcovypet.com.  You must have a vet reference to adopt.  We verify the care of past/current pets.  Applications without a vet reference will not be approved for adoption.

Story
JoJo was born May 14, 2012. My parents adopted him. In 2014, due to a medical emergency, I was asked to keep him for a little while, which has lasted 12 years. JoJo is a small dog easily tucked into the crook of your elbow if you want to carry him. He loves to cuddle and loves being petted and scratched. Once you start petting him, he'll just keep nudging your hand as if to say "more". He loves going on walks. He even loves coming across other dogs so he can bark at them. Just don't let other dogs get too close because he doesn't really get along with them. He has lived with another dog so it is possible for him to adjust. In 2024 JoJo was diagnosed with sterile nodular panniculitis. It is a long-term health condition. His medication regimen is quite easy to administer. He gets a daily dose of liquid medication with a treat after and a 1/2 pill every 3 days. He has been quite stable on his treatment program- no flareups. He spends most of the day sleeping. He is a senior after all. :-)

Story
Bernadette Peters is a 9 lb, 5 year old Maltese mix. She loves to play with other dogs and run around the yard exploring. She makes new friends easily and would love for her next one to be you! She loves playing with toys and chewing on chews toys. Bernadette is good with dogs of all sizes as well as cats. Since she previously lived outside, house training is new to her and she will need someone patient to continue to work with her. She is crate trained and will go in her crate to wait for mealtime. Currently, Bernadette will not walk on a leash, so she REQUIRES a fenced in yard. 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
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
✨KIKI✨ Kiki is an adorable 8-pound Maltese mix estimated to be around 4–5 years old. She came to us from a local animal shelter. Kiki is the perfect combination of playful and cuddly. She is happy to zoom around the backyard, or play with her toys one minute, then curl up in your lap for snuggles the next. This sweet girl loves attention, gives the best little kisses, and has a funny, lovable personality that keeps her foster mom smiling. Kiki enjoys car rides and loves to look out the window watching the world go by. She has great energy without being overwhelming and would fit well with someone looking for a companion who can keep up with playtime but also happily settle in for a relaxing evening at home. If you’re looking for a loving little sidekick with a great personality, and endless affection, Kiki may just be your perfect match. 🐾

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. Your support directly helps us continue rescuing and caring for dogs in need, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding.
