Story

Hi, I'm Mollie. For a gal my age, I still have lots of spunk, but I am also a little lap dog! I like attention (I will bark for it, lol) and I am a very sweet gal. I am trained to use pee pads, but also know how to go outside. My owners didn't want me, so I was lucky enough to land at Hatton, and now I am looking for a new lap to sit in! BTW, I am a little queen and expect to sleep in the big bed with you. Please consider sharing! 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.

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 Casper. Casper is an 11-year-old Maltese with a happy tail, a soft heart, and one very clear life goal: to be as close to his person as physically possible. This sweet little guy is the ultimate companion dog. He loves being near you, watching you, following you, snuggling you, and being held like a baby. He’s calm, cuddly, relaxed, and well-behaved — but make no mistake, Casper is happiest when his human is within reach. One of Casper’s greatest joys is the yard. He loves having a safe fenced space where he can sniff, wander, and frolic through the grass at his own little pace. A fenced yard would be a dream for him, especially because rain is absolutely not his favorite and grass time is one of the things that makes him happiest. Casper is potty trained (uses pee pads), good on leash, low energy, and very good at communicating what he needs — whether that’s food, a bathroom break, bedtime, or simply being picked up and carried around. He can be left alone for short periods with a pee pad available, but he does feel most secure when someone is home more often than not. At night, Casper has one very important requirement: he needs his person close by to fall asleep. He prefers to start the night in his human’s bed or curled up beside them on the couch. Once he’s fully passed out, he can be moved to his own dog bed, but if you’re someone who welcomes a little dog into bed, Casper would be in absolute heaven. Casper has a slight back leg issue that gives him a funny little waddle when he runs, but it doesn’t bother him or slow him down. He’s also scheduled for a dental and is currently loving his wet food meals. Casper is happy, sweet, goofy, loving, and calm. He’s the kind of dog who doesn’t ask for much — just a cozy couch, a soft bed, a little patch of grass, and a human who understands that being loved by Casper means being loved very, very closely. We just welcomed 11 year 15 lb neutered male maltese Casper. Fostered in Boonsboro, MD Please apply at mirishaven.org
