Story

Meet Kip! Kip is a 1-year-old Maltese mix looking for a family who will love him through his journey of discovering the world. Everything is still new and exciting (and sometimes a little startling) to Kip, so he can be a bit jumpy — but he's got a sweet, gentle heart and he's eager to feel safe and confident. Kip does best in a home with another friendly, playful dog who can show him the ropes and help him build his confidence. He's a total shadow once he settles in — he loves following his people around the house and simply sitting with them, soaking up the company. Older kids and a fenced in yard are preferred The details: Age: 1 year old Breed: Maltese mix Energy level: Moderate Crate trained: Yes Potty training: Doing great — no accidents! Good with cats & dogs: Yes! Kip is convinced everyone is his friend — no chasing, just love. Kip would thrive with a patient family who can give him time to grow into himself, ideally alongside a playful canine sibling who can help him feel brave. If you're looking for a sweet, devoted companion who will stick by your side, Kip might be your guy If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application . Your application will be reviewed by our team and if it is a good fit, we will be in touch The adoption fee of $500 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm, and any other necessary medical treatment to ensure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe the breed, since our pups all come from shelters, we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed! *Please note that we are a foster home-based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs.

Story

Meet YoYo, a 20 year old, 6 lb Maltese who came to Wish Bone after his owner passed away unexpectedly. YoYo is an adaptable senior gentleman, wanting nothing more than a warm place to rest his head, a daily walk, some cozy lap time, and a person to call his own. YoYo may be deaf and toothless, but what he loves the most is mealtime! YoYo has plenty of energy for a senior, gets along well with other dogs, enjoys meeting new people and sleeps quietly through the night. He is doing well with housetraining. YoYo's minimum adoption fee is $150 plus a $15 rabies registration fee for McLean County residents. He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.
