Story
Meet Groot He is a 1 yr Cutie Patootie Toss a toy and he's ready for a game of catch anytime -- it's one of his favorite things to do! He's very playful, and always looking for fun, but he also has that sweet Havanese affection that makes him want to be close to his people. He would need another dog in the family that can keep up with his playful spirit and give him plenty of attention and activity. One important warning: do NOT eat popcorn around him unless you plan on sharing! 🍿😂 This sneaky little popcorn thief can hear a bag open from across the house and will absolutely try to steal a bite whenever he gets the chance. http://tinyurl.com/ammradoptapp If any questions contact Shelly ammrshelly@gmail.com Online Application: https://www.trackabeast.com/tabbe/form/790/7000790146940/dog/adoption_allmuttsmatter.html Check us out on FB https://m.facebook.com/groups/927573409001459/?ref=share Or our Instagram https://www.instagram.com/all_mutts_matter_rescue?igsh=MWVycnBzMjFkOG5lNQ== Adoption donation of $425 includes age-appropriate vaccinations and spay/neuter when pup is approximately 5-7 months of age.

Story
Patrick’s an 8yo 9lb Maltipoo. He’s dog and kid 7+ friendly. He’s housebroken when kept on a schedule but will wear a belly band in the house. He loves toys and acts like a puppy. He loves being with his people, getting tons of attention and love. He's so loving and wants to be held, sit on your lap or cuddled next to you at all times. He will bark to be picked up. He loves to be put in a dog sling carrier and go on errands with you. Target is his favorite store. Patrick’s foster requires a home, where someone is home often, so not to be left for long periods of time or can be taken with them, be picked up to be allowed on furniture to get attention, cuddles and love along with assistance with stairs, and using ramps for getting on/off furniture. If your home DOES NOT meet these requirement’s please DO NOT put an application in. We will not call anyone whose home does not meet the needed requirements. Also, we will be concentrating on local to foster applications 1st since home checks and meets with all humans and animals in home is needed at meet. Our fosters are all volunteers so aren’t always able to travel too far. Patrick as all dogs should have at least 2 weeks in their new home to decompress with just their people who live in the home and to not have people over for at least 2 weeks. Dogs need time to settle in and adjust to their new people and environment first so they can learn to trust them first. Patrick came to Tiny Paws in March 2025 with Grade 5 Intervertebral Disc Disease. This caused complete paralysis with no deep pain sensation in his back legs. After months of daily red-light therapy along with muscle supplements and water therapy, Patrick is not only walking, he’s running! He will need some assistance with stairs, and ramps for getting on/off furniture. We along with his vet are just AMAZED at his progress over the past 11 months! He’s neutered, vaccinated, HW negative and microchipped. Currently in Mt Laurel, NJ. If your home meets the needed requirements and you’re interested in applying to adopt please do so at www.tprescue.org

Story
Meet Milo! Rescued after an extremely rough start, Milo is doing very well in his foster home. According to his foster mom, he has put on 3 lbs, and is starting to play and really show his adorable personality. He is still eating multiple small meals a day to help him gain weight and he continues to get stronger every day. He will have an appointment at the end of the month with our surgeon to recheck his leg. Interested in adopting Milo? Please visit www.huskyhouse.org today to fill out an application.May 23, 2026, 11:23 am
