Story
Snow is a 6-year-old maltese x shihtzu who has already experienced the heartbreak of losing multiple homes and is now searching for the stable, loving family he has always deserved. He is a sensitive, gentle boy who is quite fearful right now after everything he’s been through, but with patience, kindness, and a calm environment, he has the potential to truly blossom and learn to trust again. Snow would thrive best in a quiet, adult-only home and is okay with other dogs, making him a wonderful companion for someone who understands that love sometimes takes time.

Story
Hope is a little Maltese with a big heart-and a past we can only imagine. At just 3-4 years old and only 5 pounds Hope has already been through more than any dog should. We don't know what her life was like before rescue, but when she arrived, her left eye was horribly infected and damaged so it had to be removed. She was spayed and had her teeth cleaned as well and has been deemed a healthy girl ! Thankfully, that chapter is behind her now. She has healed beautifully and is finally ready for the part of her story she has always deserved: a loving family of her own. Hope will need a patient, understanding home where she can learn that she is safe, cherished, and truly loved. She enjoys having her head and belly rubbed, although when she's had enough, she'll simply wander off and find a quiet place to relax. She would be happy as your one and only, or with another small, gentle dog. Large dogs make her uncomfortable. She's frightened by loud noises like vacuums, thunder, and lightning, and she's still learning that the world doesn't have to be scary. She uses potty pads and will also go outside when she has a securely fenced area. Leash walking is new to her-right now, she freezes-but her foster family is patiently working with her. She's also learning "sit" and doing wonderfully! And if you happen to have a tasty treat? Well... Hope is VERY food motivated. Give her something that smells delicious and she'll put on an entire little song and dance to convince you she deserves it. Hope doesn't need a perfect family. She needs a patient one. A family willing to show her, day by day, that gentle hands, soft voices, belly rubs, warm beds, and unconditional love are what life is supposed to feel like. She has already survived the hard part. Now she just needs someone to help her discover how beautiful life can be. Could you be Hope's forever?

She is very good with our handicapped personal dog too!  We recommend training for all our dogs!     **Breed or size (once fully grown) is a 'best guess' and is not guaranteed since they arrived into rescue without either parent. **Magnificent Mutts is an all foster home based rescue and meets are held by appointment with the entire family in attendance. Please ensure your current pets are up to date with vetting, have landlord/HOA approval and are prepared to take your new family member home at the adoption appointment.  Thank you for your interest!                             If you are interested in adoption, please complete the "Application to Adopt" which can be accessed from this link: (     www.magnificentmutts.org )  No phone calls please, emails only.
