*FULLY SPONSORED BY THE GREY MUZZLE FOUNDATION *
Fully sponsored by The Grey Muzzle Organization. ALFALFA has been signed off by the vet and is ready for his forever home as an “as- is” senior sweetheart.
Meet ALFALFA, our adorable senior Maltese blend whose life experience has prepared him to become the cherished pet you've been seeking. An extremely kid-friendly fellow, ALFALFA will follow you from room to room and enjoy his foster fidos. He loves to go for walks and relishes his meals of kibble and wet food mixed together. It's all about the simple things for this little guy: giving and receiving affection, sharing a stroll and a snack, looking across the room for a check-in and a "good boy." He's easy in the best possible way, and when you meet him, you'll realize that you've won each other's hearts in a twinkling. Apply today!
🌟 A Special Note About Adopting a Senior Dog 🌟
This Fido has been signed off by the vet and is ready for his/her forever home as an “as-is” senior sweetheart. Our senior dogs are proudly sponsored by The Grey Muzzle Organization, meaning there is no adoption fee to welcome one of these wonderful dogs into your home!
While the adoption fee is waived, we provide these dogs "as-is," and we ask that all potential adopters fully embrace the unique reality of a senior companion. Please be prepared for these common, graceful signs of aging:
Mobility: A senior dog won't move like a 2-year-old; expect mild stiffness or arthritis.
Sensory & Vitality: You may notice slight cloudiness in the eyes, hearing loss, or common, age-related heart murmurs.
Dental Health: Due to past life as a stray, many seniors have compromised dental health.
These are natural, non-emergency findings that come with age. If you are not prepared for a dog that acts and moves like a senior, we kindly ask that you explore adopting a younger dog instead. If you are ready to provide comfort, love, and a peaceful next chapter to a dog who has earned it, our seniors are waiting for you! ❤️
At Trust Rescue, we're dedicated to connecting loving families with wonderful canine companions. You can trust that every "Fido" in our care is unique, fully vetted, and altered per veterinary guidelines, ready to find their forever home. While their weight or appearance may change as they settle in, our commitment to their health and well-being is unwavering.
Whether they're in Texas getting vetted, groomed, and altered, or comfortably settled in New Jersey, all dogs are entrusted to and under the custody of Trust Rescue. They receive loving care in dedicated foster homes or at our facility. No matter where they are, you can trust they are always with us and receiving the best possible care.
We've made our adoption process straightforward and accessible because we believe in making adoption achievable for everyone.

Many of our dogs have lived with cats. While we don't assess for cat compatibility, with thoughtful introductions and your guidance, successful dog-cat relationships are common.
You have all of the information here, to the best of our knowledge. We believe in transparency and providing you with everything we know about our trusted companions.
Trust Rescue proudly maintains an Open Adoption Policy, building a canine community you can trust and count on.
A very small percentage of our dogs will not be altered. A refundable deposit of $125 will be added to the adoption fee for any dog that is not spayed or neutered. The deposit is refundable with proof of surgery and a copy of your contract.
