Maltese puppies and dogs in Rumson, New Jersey

Meet Bella and Chanel, a gentle bonded pair who are searching for a loving and home. Bella: 13 year old Maltese Mix. Bella is a sweet, completely blind senior girl who navigates life with a brave and tender heart, finding her confidence through the presence of Chanel. Bella may not be able to see the world around her, but she feels every bit of it especially the love she receives from Chanel and her people. Bella is calm and deeply affectionate. She loves nothing more than curling up on the couch for a long snuggle session, and she'll happily nestle right on top of Chanel while they wait for their person to come home. She enjoys short walks outside, but once she's done her business, she's ready to be scooped up and held close. For Bella, the world feels safer in someone's snuggly arms. Chanel: 15 year old Poodle. Chanel is the quiet guardian of her little family. She is mellow and easygoing. She loves being outside at her own comfortable pace and greets her favorite humans with the sweetest howls of excitement when they return. Chanel will wait faithfully by the door until you're home. She is also a gentle, watchful soul who has made it her life's purpose to look after her best friend, Bella. Despite living with arthritis, she moves through each day with grace. She's always keeping one eye on her bonded companion. The moment Bella barks or seems unsure, Chanel goes right to her side, offering the kind of calm reassurance that only the deepest love can give. Chanel is definitely the perfect loving family dog, she prefers settling into her bed only when the whole family is together. Chanel would thrive in a patient, loving home where she can continue to be Bella's anchor, and where someone will be hers in return. Bella and Chanel are both good with cats and are trained to do their business both outdoors and indoors with the use of pee pee pads. If you’re looking for gentle companions who are always ready to warm up your day, Bella and Chanel are waiting to meet you. Please fill out and submit an adoption application today.

Meet Qtip! If "main character energy" had four paws and a soft, scruffy white coat, it would be Qtip. True to his name, he’s pure white, totally adorable, and cleans up effortlessly—though he prefers to think of himself as a high-end luxury model. Confident, charismatic, and entirely aware of how charming he looks, Qtip doesn't just enter a room; he makes a grand entrance. The Pup Behind the Pumpkin: Qtip is equal parts playful spark plug and dedicated cuddle connoisseur. He approaches life with bright-eyed curiosity and a natural flair for the dramatic—evident by how comfortably he rocks a knit pumpkin hat and an oversized orange bow like he's headlining a fall couture shoot. Behind the dapper look, though, is a silly, affectionate puppy who thrives on connection. When he isn’t striking a pose, he’s busy bouncing after toys, curiously investigating the world around him, and checking in to ensure all eyes remain firmly on him. Once he’s done charming his audience, he melts right into the nearest lap for belly rubs and sweet whispers about how handsome he is. What Makes Qtip Tick: The Spotlight: He loves being the center of your universe and isn't shy about basking in affection, whether that means modeling festive outfits or receiving endless head scratches. Velcro Tendencies: He wants to be your sidekick—curled up beside you on the couch, warming your lap, or supervising your day. Playful Spirit: He brings cheerful, upbeat puppy energy, loves engaging games, and is eager to learn everyday manners (especially for a tasty treat). Social Life: He enjoys polite company and gets along nicely with other small, friendly dogs in foster care. Ready to Make Qtip Yours? If you're looking for a companion with big personality, endless charm, and a heart full of sweetness, Qtip is ready to steal your heart. Please see the application link below and please email with any questions woofwoof@twintitansanimalsanctuary.org 🐾 https://form.jotform.com/261417278795066 At Twin Titans, we redefine what rescue looks like. We operate as a luxury rescue, setting a standard far beyond basic shelter survival. Healing a rescue is an intentional craft, and our dogs receive an elevated level of personalized, holistic care designed to set them up for a seamless transition into their forever homes. Top-Tier Nutrition & Supplements: While standard rescues often rely on whatever donated, low-cost kibble is available, we invest in premium, nutrient-dense diets and targeted wellness regimens. From high-grade proteins to specialized joint, gut, and coat supplements, we nourish our dogs from the inside out to resolve chronic stress, heal past neglect, and build lasting physical resilience. Generalized & Intentional Conditioning: Decompression shouldn’t just begin at adoption day—we do the groundwork here. Through daily structure, gentle exposure, and individual behavioral handling, we condition our dogs to navigate real-world environments with confidence. Seamless Transitions: This tailored approach drastically cuts down their decompression time once adopted. Instead of months of fear, confusion, and digestive upset, our dogs enter your home balanced, physically thriving, and ready to bond. Rescue should be the gold standard, not a compromise. When you bring home a dog from Twin Titans, you are welcoming an animal that hasn’t just been saved—they’ve been thoroughly prepared to flourish. Where Your Adoption Fee Goes Every dollar of our adoption fee is directly reinvested into our mission of rescue and renewal. Your fee doesn't just cover the immediate costs of your new best friend’s veterinary care, vaccinations, and daily nourishment—it extends a lifeline to the next animal in need. Beyond individual care, a portion of these funds goes directly toward building our permanent sanctuary, helping us create a safe, state-of-the-art haven for misunderstood and unadoptable dogs. When you adopt from us, you aren't just saving one life; you are actively helping build a foundation of safety for countless others.

Dahlia - 9 months & 11lbs (as of 8/17), Terrier Mix, Spayed Estimated full grown size around 13lbs  This puppy is eligible to join our foster-to-adopt program. Please email fostertoadopt@socialteesnyc.org with the animal’s name in the subject line if you are interested! Want to straight up adopt? Submit an adoption application at socialteesnyc.org Her foster says: "Dahlia is an excellent communicator, despite rarely making a sound! She lets you know when she is uncomfortable with something, anxious during a walk, or when she needs a break. Dahlia is learning that the outside world is full of all sorts of noises, smells, and people. She enjoys walking in the rain, going to the park early in the morning or late at night, and cuddling during movie nights. Dahlia prefers sticking to a set schedule for her walks (and route), feeding times, and human companionship. She is a dog that would do best in a quiet home that has no children as she can be fearful of loud sudden noises in the home." Level of dog ownership experience required:INTERMEDIATE – As an adult, this dog will need significant structure and plenty of daily exercise, training, and mental stimulation – 90 consecutive minutes of movement in the morning plus potty break walks and brain games throughout the day. The adopter must have relevant primary care experience with a similar breed, temperament, and/or energy level. (Primary care experience includes ownership, fostering, or dog sitting as an adult, not a dog you grew up with.) Relevant puppy care experience is a huge plus, but bare minimum the adopter must have TONS of time and patience. Raising a puppy can be a lot of fun, but it’s also  tremendous work. Puppies’ personalities and exercise/stimulation requirements change dramatically between now and when they’re a year old as their bodies and brains develop, so an active lifestyle and the ability to adapt to a pup’s evolving needs are a must. We strongly urge professional dog training with a rewards based trainer from the get go. Adults only or kids ages 8 and up – all puppies go through a mouthy, rambunctious phase and often accidentally hurt children when playing. PLEASE DO YOUR OWN BREED RESEARCH to make sure you have a better understanding of the kind of temperament and exercise requirements this dog may have as an adult. Energy level:Lower – Pretty chill indoors and won’t demand endless amounts of stimulation and exercise but still needs a few walks a day (10-30 min each) for potty breaks and to stretch their legs. Will probably be more like medium active out of the city in a calm area.  Tolerance to the city:Adjusting to the city – Spooked easily by loud noises and bustling areas but walks pretty well in quiet areas and probably just needs more time to adjust (may be a puppy or a brand new rescue). Would prefer a home in a calmer part of the city or the suburbs. Potty trained:Yes – Few or no accidents Social with dogs:Still working on it – Shows no interest in other dogs, avoids dogs if they get too close. Needs more socialization training. Comfort Level With strangers:Wallflower – Very shy with new people and takes a while to warm up. Afraid when unfamiliar people try to say hi on the street, hides or shrinks back when new people visit the home. Social with children:  (ALWAYS requires adult supervision)Not a home with kids– some puppies enjoy interacting with children, others get easily overwhelmed by their energy and attention. Regardless, most puppies are not a great match for a home with kids under age 8 because they go through intense mouthy play and rambunctious phases and often accidentally hurt young kids while playing. Children must always be monitored and taught to interact with dogs of any age respectfully.   Social with cats:Yes. Most puppies have the potential to be friends with a cat. It’s on the adopter to know their cat’s temperament and preferences and to teach their puppy respectful manners.  Mouthy play: Past this stage– Little to no interest in chewing on stuff. Doesn’t try to chew on hands, feet, etc. during playtime Separation anxiety:Adjusting – Might cry for a few minutes when you first leave the house but settles pretty quickly and has no problem being left alone otherwise. Leash manners:Getting the hang of it – Probably hasn’t been on a leash much in their life but figuring it out. Not much pulling, frequently gets startled and tries to either dart away, hold steady, or weave in and out of walking path. Crate trained:Not at all – Don’t even have one, I’ve puppy proofed and we free range. She will pee on clothing left on the floor and the bath mat. Cuddle Bug Level:High – Wants to be in your lap pretty much all the time, loves to lay around in bed, and is happy to be held. Medical status:Healthy as far as we know. Up to date on their DHPP and Bordetella vaccines, spayed/neutered; microchipped; treated with dewormer upon intake. (For dogs under 4 months old, adopters will need to finish the DHPP vaccine series and administer the Rabies vaccine at 16 weeks of age.) How did this dog end up with Social Tees?Most of our dogs come via partner groups who help us save them from shelters where they are at risk of euthanasia in Tennessee, Los Angeles, and Puerto Rico. There are very few spay/neuter resources there and many more animals in those areas than there are people to adopt them. Rescue groups like ours bring them to the northeast where the desire for pets like these allows us to save their lives.  PLEASE NOTE: We cannot guarantee any breed mix, exact age, or full grown size (if the dog is under a year old). We do our best with very educated guesses.  This animal is not at the Social Tees office, all are in foster homes. LEARN MORE ABOUT US: socialteesnyc.org and Instagram @socialteesnyc ##2819719##
