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
Precious Linda is looking for a special adopter who will help her on her journey learning how to be a dog! She’s a 3 year old, 8 pound, Maltese who is just trying to sort out this new world she finds herself in. She’s nervous and shy, but is doing well with other dogs and proving that she wants love from people, she just hasn’t learned how to ask for it yet. She doesn’t like being away from her foster mom so her crate isn’t her favorite! She’s working on potty training and just generally learning to trust. If you give her a patient home, with time Linda will surely prove to be your little shadow! She deserves nothing but the best from now on and we are sure the perfect home is just waiting for her! Linda's adoption fee is $550

Story
Hi, I’m Ace, your future fluffy shadow! I’m a 20-lb Maltese with a soft white/buff coat and a heart that’s all about cuddles and companionship.A few things about me:• I’m a great walker and don’t pull on the leash.• I love being close to my people — expect me to follow you around and try to hop into your lap for pets.• I’m currently on a weight-management diet so I can stay healthy and active.• I’m potty trained and will go to the door (sometimes with an excited little jump!) to let you know I need to go out.• I take medication easily with a little chicken broth and a few tasty treats.My party trick: I can sit up on my back legs with my front paws in the air… and even dance a little! My foster is still trying to catch it on camera.My personality:I thrive on praise, affection, and being near my humans. I’ll also let you know when someone or another animal is nearby — I like to keep watch over my home.Things we’re still learning:We’re not quite sure yet how I do with cats or men, but my foster is helping figure that out. If you’re looking for a sweet, fluffy companion who loves cuddles and being by your side, I might be your guy.You can also watch for stories, pictures and videos about me on our Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/JrsPupsNStuffInc or https://www.instagram.com/jrspupsnstuffAsk to meet me today!!Adoption fee: $550All 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.
