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/

Story
Special Adopter Needed – Gentle, Sweet Soul with a Hard Past Fozzie is a 1 y/o, 18 lb. ShihTzu-Maltese mix who was abandoned in a rural area. He was rescued and sent to a foster home where we learned that he may have endured some abuse in his short life. This beautiful boy desperately wants to be near his human companions and will follow you around, eager to snuggle up next to you on the couch. Very affectionate and playful, he greets everyone he meets with joy (even the vet and groomer!), and loves his belly rubs and chew toys. He is fully house-trained and walks well on a leash. As a result of his prior likely mistreatment, his nervous system is a bit overwhelmed. This shows up in the way he protects himself and his things (toys/treats), and he has the ability to snap/bite if pushed past his comfort zone. *** He needs an experienced adopter who will give him time to settle in, read his body language, and teach him not to fear, but for that right person, he will be the sweetest, most loving little fellow. *** Fozzie will be best set up to succeed in a • A calm, adult-only home  • An experienced, patient adopter who understands fearful dogs • Someone who is home most of the time as he has separation anxiety when left alone • A house, not an apartment (ideally with a fenced-in yard for him to run!) because he howls when left alone With structure, boundaries, and respect, he will be a loyal, loving companion. For the right person, he will be incredibly rewarding. For the wrong situation, he will be overwhelmed and we do not want to set him - or you - up for failure. If you think you may be the right home for Fozzie, please text/call Aly at 732-604-0625. We also have additional photos/videos to share. Thank you for caring about a pet in need! Please NOTE: Fozzie is currently located in the Boston, MA area. The adoption fee listed is in order for the rescue to recoup actual expenses from his vetting, transport, and care.

Story
Rory is a sweet and peppy 17-pound Havanese/Maltese mix. He's 11, but he's a little dog and still has many years of fun in him! Rory came to Save a Dog with MayBelle, surrendered by their adoring owner when she developed a terminal illness. He is a friendly boy who loves belly rubs. His mom called him her "furry four-legged water bottle" because he is so snuggly. He was raised with holistic care and supplements so should live a long and healthy life. Rory knows basic commands like sit, stay, and leave it. He is housetrained and crate trained. Won't you give him a second chance at a loving home? Please apply at https://www.saveadog.org/applytoadopt.asp, and someone will get right back to you.
