Story
Sir Fluffington is a gentle little soul with a heart full of quiet love. At 5–7 years old, this sweet Maltese has been through more than most, but he’s still holding onto hope for a soft place to land. He may have mouth cancer, but it doesn’t slow him down—he eats well and enjoys the simple comforts of life. What he truly needs is a patient, understanding home where he can feel safe and finally know what it means to be loved. He’s not asking for much… just kindness, comfort, and someone who won’t give up on him. He has no adoption fee but donations for his vet care that we have done are greatly appreciated.

Story
Spike is a handsome maltipoo mix. He can be a little shy at first, it takes him a minute to trust someone and warm up. But once he does, you have best friend for life! He is a very happy cuddly dog. Spike has the most fun natural blonde Mohawk that just adds to his charm! DOB 5/8/24 and around 25 lbs. Spike prefers a home without cats and, honestly, would do best as the only furry companion. He can be a bit of an attention hog and doesn’t like to share his favorite human! He would also do best in a home with no kids or kids over 12, who will respect his personal space while he adjusts to a new environment. He does have a lot of energy, so he also has his paws crossed for a backyard with a privacy fence! Find our application on our website https://www.tailsoftheforgottenpaws.org/

Story
My name is Buttons and I found myself in rescue after my human momma passed away. I am pretty sad and confused, and I still walk around looking for her, hoping that she will come back. My foster mom promised me that she will find me the BEST home to start the next chapter of my life in. I am super quiet, very gentle and all that I really need is a soft bed and some love to keep me going. My eyesight and hearing aren`t the greatest, and who needs teeth anyways? Everything about me points to the fact that I am a golden oldie and I don`t need much to be happy. I am potty trained and I eat well. I sleep soundly all night long right by my foster mom`s side. I`m a 9lbs Maltese. You can watch for stories, pictures and videos about me on our Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/JrsPupsNStuffInc or or Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jrspupsnstuffAsk to meet me today!! Adoption fee: $300All dogs/puppies have been fully vetted including spay/neuter, micro-chipping, worming, heartworm testing and preventative treatment, flea/tick preventative, and all required age appropriate vaccinations. As required by Wisconsin Act 90, all dogs will have received a veterinarian exam (CVI) within the past 30 days. Our adoption process requires the submission of an online application at JRsPupsNStuff.org. Additional details about who we are, what we do and how to adopt can be found on our website.

Disclaimer: This animal is not in Anderson custody. and is a courtesy post to help a member of the community rehome directly without shelter intervention. Any adoption inquiries should be directed to the owner at lewiseugene84@yahoo.com and/or (312) 593-3402. Anderson Humane makes no guarantees regarding medical or behavioral status of this animal, and the current owner is solely responsible for disclosing any challenges or concerns. Anderson Humane is not responsible for any unsuccessful adoptions. I am looking to rehome my 7 year-old Maltese who I’ve had since she was one year old. Her name is Princess and she has been a big part of my life and family m and is truly a sweet, gentle soul. Due to personal reasons and the care demands of another senior dog in my home who is also dealing with health issues, I’m no longer able to give Princess the level of care and attention she deserves. Princess does come with some challenges, and I want to be completely transparent so she can be placed in the right environment: • Bell’s palsy • Separation anxiety • Dental disease that will require ongoing care Despite these challenges, Princess is loving and bonds deeply with her person. She would do best in a calm, stable home with someone who has patience, compassion, and ideally experience with senior or special-needs dogs. A home where someone is around most of the day would be ideal. This decision comes from love, not lack of it. My goal is to ensure Princess is safe, cared for, and surrounded by understanding and kindness for the rest of her life. Please let me know if you can assist with Princess. Thanks so much! -Eugene & Keena Lewis
