Story
Meet Holly, will get better pictures once she is groomed. This doll and a sweety, coming around nicely and loves attention. She is a maltese/yorkie mix. I would say mostly maltese since she is a cream color. She weight in at 3.4 at her wellness exam. vet cleared her for adoption. She is complete vetted including being spayed and is ready for a home. We would prefer a home with no small children because of her size. So teenagers and up would be ok. If your interested in adopting her please email for an application at helpapoochrescue@gmail.com Her adoption fee is 750.00

Story
Meet Lulu, a sweet 12-year-old Maltese/Havanese mix who’s looking for a quiet, loving home to spend her golden years. She was recently surrendered through no fault of her own—her aging owner could no longer care for her due to health issues. Now, Lulu is ready to begin a new chapter with someone who will cherish her just as much. Lulu is gentle, affectionate, and calm. She enjoys soft beds, slow strolls, and being near her people. While she may be a senior, she still has plenty of love to give and will make a wonderful, loyal companion. If you’re looking for a mellow, loving dog who just wants to be by your side, Lulu is the perfect match. Give this sweet girl the comfort and care she deserves—adopt Lulu and make her final chapter the happiest one yet.

Story
I’m looking to find a new home for Gizmo, my 10-year-old Maltese. We’ve had him since he was a puppy, and he’s always been part of our family. Due to significant changes in family circumstances over the years, I took him in when I moved into my apartment. Unfortunately, I’ve learned that he has developed severe separation anxiety, and with my current work schedule and apartment setup, I can’t provide the stable environment he needs. Gizmo is a healthy, well-behaved boy who deserves a loving home where someone can help him work through his anxiety. He would do best in a home where his occasional barking or howling won’t disturb neighbors. He’s a little spoiled but he’s a fast learner and loves attention. I’ll also provide all of his supplies to make the transition easier, including a 6+ month supply of his kibble, his bed, toys, and grooming supplies. We’d love to stay in touch and check in from time to time, if possible as he means a lot to our family.
