Harpo-Maltese/Yorkshire Terrier (Morky) male, ~ 18 mo. (June 2026) Contact rescuebc@hotmail.com for an application. Harpo came to Rescue when his prior owner could no longer care for him. He's used to living in a loving home environment. He's also lived with children. Harpo is now in a foster home, meeting new dogs and cats. He has no issues with them. He's super friendly and a happy boy. Harpo is crate trained and housetraining is an ongoing process. He wants to please and with 'routine', he'll have it quickly. Harpo's adoption fee is $450 to help cover the medical costs of getting ready for adoption.

Story
Hi, I'm Mollie. For a gal my age, I still have lots of spunk, but I am also a little lap dog! I like attention (I will bark for it, lol) and I am a very sweet gal. I am trained to use pee pads, but also know how to go outside. My owners didn't want me, so I was lucky enough to land at Hatton, and now I am looking for a new lap to sit in! BTW, I am a little queen and expect to sleep in the big bed with you. Please consider sharing! Hatton Animal Rescue spends significantly more on each dog than the adoption fee covers; please consider making a tax-deductible donation by visiting us at https://www.hattonanimalrescue.org/sponsor. Donations help us offset vetting, boarding costs, and additional medical treatments for dogs who need it. For more information on Hatton Animal Rescue, visit our website at: hattonanimalrescue.org.

Story
This sweet little gentleman is Nelson, an 11-year-young Maltipoo who still has the playful active spirit of a puppy. He’s looking for a loving adult home where he can be someone’s loyal companion. Nelson is the kind of dog who bonds deeply with his person. He loves to play, cuddle, and happily follow his human from room to room. • House trained, crate trained, and doggie-door trained • Gets along great with other dogs and even cats • Sweet, affectionate, and very loyal Because Nelson is very devoted to his people and protective of them, he would do best in a calm adult-only home where he can feel secure and settled. He would make a wonderful companion dog for someone looking for a loving little shadow who enjoys both playtime and relaxing close to his human. $200 adoption fee covers neuter, vaccines, parasite prevention and microchip Apply at www.fullcirclerescueandsanctuary.com
