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
• Rescue Story: Meet Tonki👋 In April 2025, a group of small dogs—believed to be victims of an illegal breeding operation—were found abandoned together on the streets of South Korea. Tonki was one of them. Now, he’s ready to leave his difficult past behind and begin a new chapter as a beloved member of a loving family. Having learned how to live happily with humans in his foster home, Tonki is patiently waiting for his forever home—where he’ll be cherished, protected, and loved the way he truly deserves. • Personality: Sweet, Friendly, Bright Tonki is a lovable, easygoing pup with a bright, happy energy. He’s incredibly affectionate and loves showing his humans just how much love he has to give! While he may need a little extra time to warm up to adult men, once he does, he becomes a loyal and devoted furry companion. • Affinity with - Dogs: Wonderful with other dogs! He’d do great as an only dog or as a second dog. - Cats: Not tested - Adults/Kids: Good with people, including kids / Needs a bit more time to warm up to adult men. • House Training: Fully housebroken - using pee pads indoors and going potty outside. • Walking Manners: Super gentle on leash and loves going for walks! • Bathing/Brushing: Tolerates both well. • Separation Anxiety: May howl briefly when first left alone, but once he settled, he relaxes and rests peacefully by himself. • Barks/Howls: Occasional barking when a male family member approaches suddenly. • Car Rides: Comfortable and calm • Appetite/Food Allergies: Big eater! / No food allergies found so far. • Likes/Dislikes: Likes to play with toys that make noise. / Not a fan of being lifted suddenly by a male family member • Shedding level (1~10): 1-2 • Health: Currently a healthy pup! He tested positive for heartworm when rescued, completed treatment successfully, and tested negative in Dec 2025. ----------- **Adoption Fee Information The adoption fee already includes all major expenses, such as: International transportation, Customs and export documentation, Medical care (spay surgery, vaccinations, health certificate, deworming, etc.) For this reason, we kindly ask that you refrain from requesting a breakdown or negotiation of the adoption fee. Your support directly helps us continue rescuing and caring for dogs in need, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding.

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. Email us at  adoption@fancycats.org for general questions about our rescued cats. Email us at dogadoptions@fancycats.org for general questions about our rescued dogs.

Story
I’m looking for a forever home for my mom’s dogs. They are a bonded pair that came from a breeder. Both dogs are fixed and are up to date with their vaccinations. Sassy (Maltese) 6/5/2022 male. Sassy (aptly named) has very soulful eyes that can tell you exactly when he needs a treat. 😊 He enjoys being carried around and getting treats whenever he wants. He doesn’t really care for the leash as he tends to bite it all the time during walks. He prefers being let out in the backyard. Sassy is not fully house broken. He has had a lot of movement in the past few years so that maybe a contributing factor. Sassy is part of a bonded pair of dogs. I do believe that it would be best for them to stay together. I think it’s normal for dogs to experience behaviors when they are moved to a new home. Time and patiences is needed to make him feel secure again so please be welling to work with him. ❤️
