Story
Do you believe in magic? Well Matty's life has been transformed. Rescued from a puppy mill situation, he's now experiencing the joys of love and care. When Matty arrived, he was severely matted and had to be shaved, but now he's basking in the affection and snuggles from his foster mom. As he adjusts to his new life, Matty is proving to be a sweet and loving companion, although he may need time to feel secure. A patient family is needed to provide him with the love and stability he deserves. Due to his fragile state, it's essential to ensure his safety and prevent escape. Matty is on medication for a month to prevent tick-borne illnesses since under his mats he was covered in ticks. He was nippy as well due to fear but is settling down with patience from foster mom  This adorable 4-year-old Maltese/Poodle mix weighs about 12 pounds and is ready to bring joy and love into his forever home.April 30, 2025, 10:51 pm

Story
This sweetie came to us when his owner could no longer care for him. Fisher is a sweetie but nervous in new situations so he’ll need a home who will be patient with him. He’s a little velcro dog who likes to follow his owner around and loves to sit on the couch and lounge with his person. Fisher will be neutered, heartworm tested, vaccinated, given dewormer and flea preventative, and microchipped prior to adoption.
