Story
Meet Posy Nickname: Tiny Demon Breed: Maltese/Poodle mix (tea cup sized) Rescue: Albert's Dog Lounge Age: 7-8 yrs Weight: 4 lbs Foster home: Madison, WI Activity level: Moderate Friendly with: Dogs, cats & respectful children Sleep style: Atop her human’s head/pillow Meals: 1/4 cup dehydrated raw 2x/day (I take my meals on the kitchen countertop with a placemat and fine China like a true Tiny Diva) Snore-o-meter: 0 Bark-o-meter: 15 (I’m possessed when I first meet people. I bark and show my fangs and give an Oscar-worthy performance to embarrass my Foster Mommy) Shedding meter: 0 Fart-o-meter: 0 Fashion: Watermelon collar Signature color: Red Walk out song: Sweet but Psycho ~Ava Max Favorite season: Summer (let’s swing on the hammock together) Personality: Bright, gentle, curious, joyful, alert & affectionate Best feature: My precious little face ❤️s: Mealtimes, rocking on the hammock, snooping around the yard, snuggling in warm blankets, listening to reggae, getting carried like a baby, exploring hiking trails & being included in everything Dislikes: Waking up early Bucket list: Backyard Bonfire and taste a toasted marshmallow *Posy survived severe neglect and abuse by her former owners. This has conditioned her to fear human interaction - which is why she puts on such a big show when meeting new friends. Posy desperately wants a family willing to look past her atrocious “hello” and embrace the tiny little love muffin that she is. What she craves most is love, safety, consistency and predictability.

Story
We are still getting to know sweet Tigger, a Malshi (Maltese x Shih Tzu) puppy with an absolute heart of gold! He is very young, and his personality, energy level, and adult size will continue to develop as he growsbut he is already showing what a special, affectionate boy he is.   Tigger is currently being fostered in a home with kids and absolutely loves them! He is a total people-dog who lives for snuggles, warm cuddles, and being right by your side. Combining the cheerful, sweet nature of the Maltese with the sturdy, loving charm of the Shih Tzu, Tigger is the ultimate family companion. Even better, he is already making great progress in his routine and sleeps wonderfully in his crate overnight!   As a young puppy, Tigger is intelligent and eager to please, though his small size and sensitive nature mean he thrives best with gentle, positive reinforcement training. Adopters should still be prepared for typical puppy behaviors as he finishes growing upincluding teething, chewing, ongoing house-training, frequent potty breaks, and fun bursts of puppy energy.   The Right Home   Tigger will thrive in a home that can provide: Kids or family members who love to play and shower him with affection Patient, consistent house-training and frequent potty breaks Positive-reinforcement training and early socialization Daily playtime, mental enrichment, and age-appropriate exercise Plenty of companionship, cuddle time, and inclusion in daily family life Patience through normal puppy phases like teething and chewing A lifelong commitment to regular grooming, coat care, and veterinary visits He is not a good fit for someone looking for a dog that can be left alone for long periods immediately.   About This Dog Name: Tigger Breed: Malshi (Maltese / Shih Tzu mix) Gender: Male Age: Puppy Health: Current on age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and provided with a health certificate. Adoption Details   We only adopt within Illinois and Wisconsin and only respond to applications made on our website at thecharlieprojectdogrescue.com.   An adoption fee of $800 fully covers essential medical start-up care, including current vaccines, future boosters provided by one of our rescue volunteers, as well as future alteration surgery and rabies vaccination at one of our partner veterinary clinics. Alternatively, we offer a $100 reimbursement if you prefer to use your own primary veterinarian for the alteration surgery.   Licensed by WI DACPT #506053 Please visit our website www.thecharlieprojectdogrescue.com to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs.

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.

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/
