Story
Meet Remy, the Southern Gentleman who will dazzle you with his winning smile! This 16-month-old Dachshund/Maltese mix is pure charm from nose to tail, with his fluffy white coat, one distinguished gray eye patch, and a tail that doesn`t quit. Watching Remy run is a treat all by itself—his short little legs bounce along like a cartoon character on a mission, and it`s impossible not to laugh. When playtime is over, this sweet boy transforms into a world-class cuddle expert. His favorite place to be is snuggled up next to his people, preferably burrowed under a cozy blanket where he can soak up all the love. He also gets along wonderfully with other dogs and cats, greeting them politely and respecting their boundaries like the little gentleman he is.Remy is still building confidence in a few areas, and he`s looking for a family that will help him continue making progress. He`s fully house-trained as long as he stays on a regular schedule, since he`s not the best at letting you know when it`s time to head outside. He`s also working on crate training—he`ll happily hang out in his crate with the door open, but if it`s closed, he may serenade you with his impressive howling skills because being away from his people is not his favorite thing. New people can make him a little shy at first, but if they`re patient and let him come to them, he`s soon asking for pets. And while `sit` remains an unsolved mystery (we`re convinced his adorable little hot dog body is partly to blame!), Remy more than makes up for it with his affectionate personality, sweet nature, and endless supply of snuggles.If you’d like to take this pupper home, please fill out an adoption application at this link – https://animalalliesrescue.org/dog-application. The adoption fee is $350 and covers all expenses needed to prepare dogs like this one for their forever homes. By the time you meet them, they’ve already been spayed/neutered (if age-appropriate) and microchipped. They’ve been checked by a veterinarian and are up to date on necessary vaccinations, including Rabies and DHLPP. They have also been tested for heartworm and tick-borne diseases and have started heartworm and flea preventative medication. Some of our dogs have even undergone extensive medical care to ensure they’re ready for a happy, healthy life with you!

Story
Fiona may only weigh six pounds, but this little princess has a personality that`s larger than life! This adorable Maltese mix is somewhere between 3-7 years old (best guess from our vets), and is equal parts cuddle bug, playful companion, and professional kiss-giver. She loves being doted on (as every princess should!), whether she`s lounging in your arms, running around the yard, sneaking in a nap, or charming everyone she meets with her sweet nature. Fiona gets along well with dogs of all sizes, is polite with cats, and happily hands out kisses to children.Fiona is looking for a family that appreciates the little things in life, like cozy snuggles and happy tail wags. She`s almost completely house-trained, happily settles into her crate when her people are away, and is content to stroll on a leash—at least until she decides she`s walked quite enough, thank you very much! She doesn`t know many formal commands yet, but her gentle temperament and eagerness to be with her people make her a wonderful companion. Fiona will occasionally give a soft little growl if another pet is getting on her nerves, preferring to politely set boundaries rather than start any drama. She`s also not a fan of fireworks or thunderstorms and appreciates a little extra comfort when the world gets noisy. With her dental care being completed and her sweet personality shining brighter every day, Fiona is ready to rule her forever home with kindness, cuddles, and just the right amount of royal charm.If you’d like to take this pupper home, please fill out an adoption application at this link – https://animalalliesrescue.org/dog-application. The adoption fee is $300 and covers all expenses needed to prepare dogs like this one for their forever homes.

Story
Sweet 3-year-old male Maltese looking for his forever home — ideally with his sister! This handsome boy is affectionate and people-friendly. He has some separation anxiety, so he does best with a companion by his side; he and his sister are bonded and we’re hoping to find a family who can adopt them together. He’s full of personality and would thrive with an owner who has time for consistent training, structure, and companionship. If you’re looking for an affectionate little guy who does best when he’s not alone, he could be perfect for your home!

Story
Sweet 3-year-old female Maltese looking for her forever home — ideally with her brother! This girl is affectionate, very social, loves belly rubs and is vocal! She’s bonded with her brother and they do best together, especially since he has some separation anxiety and leans on her for comfort. She’s full of personality and would do great with an owner who has time for training, structure, and giving these two the companionship they’re used to. If you have room in your home (and heart) for a loving pair, these two could be perfect for you!

Story
Hi, I'm Max and I hail from Texas. Just to let you know, if you've ever heard the phrase "age is just a number", well, it is definitely true. While I am a senior gentleman, I am definitely medium energy and would enjoy a good long walk or two a day (or a nice yard to play in). I walk well on leash (except when I see another dog, I will pull hard), am housetrained, and don't mind my crate. In general, I am friendly with people once I get to know them, but on my own terms. I am not a fan of cats - I will bark and chase them. Btw, I am not a barker in general and my foster recently discovered that I I really enjoy watching TV! My ideal home would be with people who are willing to understand that I am set in my ways as a senior and want a loyal companion. I am leash reactive to other dogs, but possibly could get along with the right dog match. 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.
