Story
Zsa Zsa **Not Available to Be Seen Until Open House on Wednesday 4/15** Good with Kids & Dogs! Meet Zsa Zsa! 12 yrs./12 lb./Female/Maltese Mix Name: Zsa Zsa Age: 12 years Weight: 12 lbs Breed: Maltese Mix Status: Gentle, devoted, and ready for a love that feels like home ​ About Me: Hello, I’m Zsa Zsa — a sweet, soulful little lady with so much love still to give. At 12 years young, I’ve left the busy, chaotic days behind and found my rhythm in the quiet, meaningful moments… the ones that matter most. I’m the kind of companion who doesn’t need much — just a soft place to rest, a gentle hand to pet me, and someone to love. I’ll happily curl up beside you, follow you from room to room, and be your calm, steady presence through it all. There’s something really special about a senior dog’s love — it’s soft, it’s loyal, and it’s deeply grateful. I may be in my golden years, but my heart is full and ready to belong to someone who sees just how much I still have to offer. ​ Best Qualities: • Gentle, calm, and incredibly loving • Devoted companion who bonds deeply • Low-key and easy to care for • Finds joy in the simple things • A comforting, peaceful presence ​ My Ideal Match: • A quiet, loving home • Someone who values companionship and connection • A cozy space with lots of soft spots to rest • A family ready to cherish a senior soul ​ Deal Breakers: • A loud or high-energy household • Being overlooked because of my age • A home without time for companionship ​ Fun Fact: My favorite place isn’t a bed or a blanket… it’s right next to you. 🤍🐾

Story
Meet Evangeline!First and foremost, yeah, we know...her fur is a disaster, she looks like an electrocuted Q-tip, whatever. We're grooming her as we can in very, very small bits and pieces while keeping our digits and limbs intact. It's a slow process. We're working on it.Evangeline is about three years old, she's a maltese mix, and she's 5.5lbs. That's it. And, yeah, she's 5.5lbs but she's also a vengeful spirit inhabiting the very tiny body of a beanie baby or...something. So here's the thing - Evangeline is a sour patch kid if the "sour" part was, like, arsenic. She's sweet and happy and affectionate...until you irritate her. And by "irritate her", we mean make eye contact, breathe near her, or perceive her in any way, shape, or form. If she decides she likes you? Cool! You can pet her and handle her without sacrificing body parts! She'll bounce all over your legs and in your lap and be all up in your business.Unfortunately at some point she learned that biting is the answer to all of her problems so it's her go-to if anything even mildly inconveniences her. The good thing is that, again, she's 5.5lbs so the damage she can actually do is minimal. She does NOT like sharing her food, treats, or toys or having them touched in any way. She hates children. She barks like she's putting a curse on your entire bloodline and, yeah, she sounds like a squeaky toy when she barks. She'll need regular grooming (which she hates so she'll need to be drugged for it) and she hates the vet. She's not great on a leash and just zips and zooms all over the place and weaves between your legs so not only is she a possessed dandelion, but she's a tripping hazard as well. But, hey, if you're into haunted artefacts with questionable intentions...And if you're okay with probably most likely being bitten by a cotton ball with pointy bits...Adult only home. No other animals. She might do well with occasional play dates with other dogs because she isn't reactive or aggressive towards them but she WILL throw hands over her toys and food.To apply, visit foreverpaws.com and click adopt to download our application. Once complete, you can email it to us at fpas1@foreverpaws.com.
