Story
Please read entire description before submitting an application. Goofy is a 5-year-old Maltese mix who has never had any formal training, but he’s smart and will learn with the right guidance. Goofy needs a patient and experienced dog owner who can provide structure and positive reinforcement to help him thrive. Because of his lack of training and tendency to be stubborn, Goofy cannot be in a home with children though he gets along well with other dogs. He needs a calm, adult-only environment where he can feel safe and secure. A single-family home or townhome would be ideal, giving him space to settle in comfortably. Goofy will need an owner committed to working with a professional dog trainer to help him build confidence and learn good manners. With time, consistency, and love, Goofy has the potential to be a wonderful companion. If you have the experience and dedication to help Goofy become his best self, he just might be the perfect pup for you!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Dexter! Say hello to Dexter, a lovable mixed Maltese male with a heart as big as his personality! Born around April 16, 2024, Dexter weighs in at a cuddly 17.1 pounds and is ready to find his forever home. Dexter’s journey started off rough—he was living on the streets until a kind-hearted Good Samaritan stepped in and gave him a second chance. Despite his tough beginnings, Dexter is incredibly friendly and full of joy. He gets along great with other dogs and charms everyone he meets with his funny, goofy personality. This little guy lives for attention and isn’t shy about stealing the spotlight! He is young and does have some mischievous behaviors that will need someone who has time to train him. Most of the issues can be solved through crate training.  If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will keep you laughing and love you endlessly, Dexter is your guy. His adoption fee is $350, and you can apply for him at www.adoggie4you.org. Dexter is ready to bring joy to your life—are you ready to meet him? This dog is currently in Texas; however, it can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington KY or all along the East Coast. If transported, there is an additional transport fee of $225. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 13, 2025, 5:35 pm

Story
Hello, my name is Tuffy, but I’m not tuff at all. Happy, with a wagging tail, is my way of showing affection. I’m a little shy at first, but with patience and time I warm up; I give kisses and enjoy being petted. I love to play with toys, and chew on Nyla-bones! I’m 12 years old and very healthy. I love to curl up on my dog bed, near you, and take my naps. I get along fine with my foster-dog siblings. I guess I would say I’m the perfect dog for someone wanting an easy-going, low-maintenance companion. If you are interested in meeting me, log on to www.foster2home.org, fill out an application and someone will contact you.
