Story
Meet Simba – A Little Dog with a Big Heart! Simba is currently thriving in a loving foster home, where we`ve had the chance to truly get to know what a wonderful companion he is. His foster family has learned that this sweet senior boy is full of love, personality, and plenty of youthful energy!Don`t let his age fool you—Simba still loves to run, jump, explore, and soak up the sunshine. One of his favorite things is finding a warm patch of grass to stretch out and relax after a nice walk.Here`s what his foster family has discovered about Simba:• He absolutely LOVES to cuddle and be petted.• He`s wonderful on a leash and enjoys daily walks.• He`s very friendly with other dogs and currently lives happily with an older foster brother. The two enjoy going on walks together, and Simba is incredibly gentle—even if his foster brother tries to sneak bites from his food, Simba remains calm and passive.• He`s housebroken and lets you know when he needs to go outside by going to the sliding door.• He`s great with older children.• He takes his daily kidney medication with easeLike many dogs, Simba prefers being with his people. Apartment living wouldn`t be ideal for him as he can be vocal for a period of time when left alone.Simba does have a heart murmur that currently doesn`t slow him down or require medication, though it may need treatment in the future. He also takes lifelong medication to help protect his kidneys.Simba has settled beautifully into foster care, and now he`s ready for the next chapter—a forever home of his own. If you`re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who enjoys both outdoor adventures and cozy cuddle sessions, Simba could be the perfect addition to your family.For more information or to set up a meet & greet with Simba, please call 508-867-5525 or email fostering@secondchanceanimals.org

Story
Hi, I'm Simon, a 10 year old neutered male Maltese looking for a loving home. I was rescued with Hyacinth and depend on her as I can be shy when I first meet you. It would be great if we could get adopted together, but it's not a requirement. I would do best with another dog to help me build confidence. I'm a little guy at only 6 lbs. so it's a big world. I'm in a foster home and will be brought to the shelter to meet you once you send in your application. Please apply at https://www.saveadog.org/applytoadopt.asp, and the adoption team will get right back to you.

Story
Ribbit is a young maltese/yorkie mix who is currently not available for adoption, as she is undergoing medical treatment.She is a tripod- meaning she had one of her back legs ampuated (before she came to Lowell Humane Society). She is currently under medical watch, as she appears to have a SI Luxation and needs further testing to determine if surgery will be an option to help save this poor girl. Her medical bills are already nearly $400- and climbing. Please consider making a donation to help with her care and others like her. https://www.lowellhumanesociety.org/donate/
