Story
Meet Benny, a sweet little Maltese who is looking for his forever home! This adorable little boy is super affectionate and loving, always ready to cover you in kisses. With his tiny frame of only 8 pounds, he is a bundle of energy and joy, bringing life to wherever he goes. Benny is estimated to be 5-6 years old, and despite his size, he has a big personality and an even bigger heart. Benny loves nothing more than running and playing in a yard, and he especially enjoys climbing up for some cuddles and kisses. He's used to being around other small dogs, so a home with a furry sibling could be ideal for this little guy. Although he may be a little shy at first with new people, once he warms up, he's a total cuddle bug who adores attention. Benny recently had a dental procedure and is now feeling better than ever! His blood work shows he's in excellent health, so he's ready to take on the world and find his forever family. If you're looking for a loyal companion to add some sunshine to your life, Benny could be the perfect match. He promises to bring laughter and love to his new home and is eager to find his place in the world. Could you be the one to show him what a loving family is all about https://fs8.formsite.com/Caringhearts/form1/index

Story
Meet Star! This spunky little dog was named Star because she sparkles with light. She will gleefully run up to you for attention even if she doesn’t know you. She’s the first to jump on your lap to kiss you on your cheek. You will often see her dancing on the sofa or in the house, full of happiness. Star is around 6 years old and weighs around 9 pounds. She is not accustomed to being on a leash, so a fenced yard is essential. She goes out for a potty break every few hours, like most small dogs. Star is very gentle and has never growled even once. She is perfect when being groomed and is very easy to care for. She does great around other dogs. Star had a dental and is current on vaccines and heartworm testing. If you would like to meet Star, please fill out her application here:https://fs8.formsite.com/Caringhearts/form1/index

Story
Babka is a small 12 pound, one and ½ year old maltipoo rescue. He is incredibly cute, sweet, goofy, smart and loving and needs a home with someone experienced with fear/anxiety in small dogs. We adopted him 5 months ago with no information about his history. Babka would do best in a single person household where he has room to run/play outdoors and is located in a less densely populated area than where he currently lives. He is hyper-reactive on walks when passing cars, bicycles or people walking. He has recently started a regime of meds to help reduce his fear/anxiety. He is great with other dogs and would do well in a household where there are already other dogs. He needs patience to help manage his fear/anxiety when meeting new people. He can exhibit protective aggression in the house. In the right environment with support and training, he will evolve into an incredible, loving and fun companion. Babka is up to date on all shots, is neutered, and is microchipped.
