Story
Mannaseh is a 9 month old Maltichon. He is sweet, loving, and playful dog with a wonderful personality. He enjoys spending time with people, is full of affection, and brings so much joy to those around him. He is intelligent, energetic, and would thrive in a home where he can receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship.Due to my increasingly busy schedule, I am no longer able to give Mannaseh the time and attention he deserves. This decision has not been easy, but I am looking for a loving and responsible home where he can continue to thrive and receive the care he needs. ❤️🐾

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.
