Story
Meet Harry & Sally – A Sweet Bonded Pair Looking for Their Forever Home Harry and Sally are a heart-melting father–daughter duo ready to spend their golden years side by side in a loving home. Harry, a gentle senior Maltese mix, and Sally, his equally sweet Yorkie/Maltese mix daughter, share an unbreakable bond and must be adopted together—they’ve been each other’s constant companions and truly thrive as a pair. These two have settled beautifully into their foster home and enjoy a calm, cozy routine. While they’ll occasionally engage in a little playful moment together, their favorite activity is simple: snuggling up on the couch and staying close to their people. They’re the definition of loyal companions and will happily follow you from room to room just to be near you. Harry and Sally are pee pad trained and continuing to make great progress with house training. At bedtime, they sleep in a crate and, after a brief moment of protest, settle in quietly for the night. They are slowly getting used to other dogs and would do best in a home with calm, respectful canine companions. They’re also perfectly fine with cats. A peaceful, low-key environment will help them feel most comfortable and secure. These sweet seniors have so much love left to give and are ready to fill a home with warmth, companionship, and gentle joy. If you’re looking to open your heart to a devoted duo who will love you endlessly, Harry and Sally are waiting to meet you. Adoption fee: $300 pair , includes first 2 DAPP, bordetella, sterilized, heartworm test, dewormed, flea preventative, microchip. Harry just had a dental cleaning.   If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application and a representative will get back to you shortly to answer any questions you may have. The adoption policies and applications can be found at the following links: https://fancycats.org/adopt-a-cat and https://fancycats.org/adopt-a-dog.

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. ❤️🐾

Story
Jameson Maltese Mix Male White ​1 year old 25 lbs Meet Jameson: A handsome, calm, gentle personality with excellent manners. Jameson is fully house-trained and will politely bark once to let you know he needs to go outside. He is also crate-trained, sleeping comfortably in his crate at night and resting quietly for short periods during the day when he is home alone. Jameson is an easy companion to have around. He rarely barks, rides calmly in the car, walks nicely on a leash, and enjoys meeting both people and other dogs during neighborhood strolls. He is surprisingly patient at mealtimes and has shown wonderful house manners, never chewing on anything inappropriate. While he loves chew toys, he prefers durable ones that can withstand his enthusiasm. He also enjoys playing fetch and happily understands "drop it." He is well-adjusted, affectionate, and eager to be part of a family. He is neutered, does not shed, and is truly an all-around great dog. Jameson would thrive in a home with a fenced yard where he can safely play, along with an active family that enjoys daily walks and includes their dog in everyday life. If you're looking for a loyal, easygoing companion with a sweet soul and wonderful manners, Jameson may be the perfect match. ​​ ​ Please Note: **No children under 10!** ​ If you are interested in adopting JAMESON, please visit our website at www.somersetcottagepoodlerescue.org to learn about our adoption process and download the adoption application ​ JAMESON's adoption donation is $950

Story
Location: Abingdon, MD Hi there! I'm Ella, a 7-year-old sandy Shih Tzu-Bichon ☺️. At just 10 pounds, I'm the perfect petite companion, and I get along wonderfully with other dogs 🐾 I'm ready to find my forever home where I can shower you with love and cuddles. My adoption fee is $275 — come meet me and see what you've been missing! 💕 This dog tested positive for heartworm disease before arriving to the rescue. Heartworm disease is transmitted to a dog through a bite from an infected mosquito producing a positive test in six months. OPH will treat the dog and provide two weeks of recovery time prior to adoption. Potential adopters will receive detailed information on the disease and their role in completing the recovery process from OPH’s heartworm coordinator. With monthly preventatives, the disease is completely preventable.
