Please contact Jamesa (roxysrescue@yahoo.com), 713-882-2610 for more information about this pet.This little cutie is MILO, 10 pounds and 6 months old Maltipoo.  We do not expect him to exceed 13 pounds as an adult.  His coat is cotton soft and his temperament is just as soft.  A kind hearted and playful little guy who gets along with all of the foster dogs.  I do not have cats so I am not sure how he would behave around them. MILO was found hiding in the bushes by Good Samaritans and turned into ACS, our very high kill shelter.  I immediately stepped forward to rescue him and I am so happy.  MILO is the type that just makes your heart melt. It is the cutest thing to watch him sit on his butt and beg you to come pet him.  He sleeps with me and I barely know he is there because he doesn't move or get in the way. If you are interested in adopting MILO, please submit an application on the website.  Feel free to call anytime or leave a text message.  Thank you. www.roxysk9rescue.org     ADOPTION FEE & APPLICATION REQUIRED   Roxxy's K-9 Rescue does not have a shelter, all of our dogs are raised in foster homes.  Each dog comes  spay/neutered (fixed), rabies shots appropriate for their age, and dewormed twice.  The dogs are up to date on vaccinations according to their age at the time of adoption.  They are microchipped, heartworm tested and on monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventative.  ALL OF THIS IS INCLUDED IN THE ADOPTION FEE.

Please contact Jamesa (roxysrescue@yahoo.com), 713-882-2610 for more information about this pet.This little 8 pound guy is TYLER. He is 3 years old and a very loving and cuddly guy. He is quite independent and does not get in your way. He loves laying on his blankets and doggy bed. I do NOT have any cats so I do not know how he would do in a home with cats. And he is very afraid of bigger dogs and will bark at them out of fear. Other than that he gets along with all of the small breed scruffies in my home. The face and front part of him is straight like a Maltese and his body is curly like a poodle, he has a short curly tail.  He may not be a pure breed but he is a preferred breed.

Please contact Jamesa (roxysrescue@yahoo.com), 713-882-2610 for more information about this pet.This darling little girl is DARCY, a bit over 1 years old and 8 pounds.  She has pretty much reached her adult height and weight with maybe 1 pound to gain.  She is mostly Maltese and will need to be groomed every 2-3 months to keep her straight hair from tangling. DARCY is my shadow but she does not get in my way, she just likes to go wherever I go.  DARCY does go outside to play with a couple of Shih Tzu's and have fun.   DARCY can be a bit of a diva and a bossy little girl to the other dogs.  She just tries to keep them in order.  But she plays well with the others and she loves to cuddle.  She is about 75% potty trained.  I do not have a doggy door and let her out to potty with the other dogs and she does just fine.  She is completely crate and house trained.  I have no problem leaving her alone in my home with my personal dogs while I am gone.  She is not destructive or get into personal items. I do not have any cats so I do not know how she would get along with them.  It took DARCY about 2 days to get to know me and show her real personality so some patience is required but then she becomes your shadow and best friend.

Story
LITTLE RUFFLES, BIG NEW BEGINNINGS! At approximately 11 years old, Ruffles is ready to discover the comforts of home—and find someone who will let her bloom at her own pace. Female Maltese mix Approximately 11 years old 12 pounds Ruffles came to us from Georgia after her days of being used for breeding were over. Her foster mom suspects that a comfortable home may be brand-new territory for this sweet girl. Every little discovery is a step toward her second chance. For now, Ruffles is taking things slow. She’s very cautious around people, and her favorite spot is her cozy crate with the door open. But when her foster mom leaves the room? Out comes our little explorer! Her dream home: A quiet, patient household where she can have the time and space to feel safe, build trust, and show her personality. Another dog and a fenced-in yard could help her feel more comfortable, but neither is required. Currently studying: Potty training, leash walking, and “How to Be a Confident Little Lady.” Her foster mom believes she could do well with respectful dogs, cats, and children who give her space, though those matches would need to be assessed. Ruffles may need time before she’s ready to seek affection, but she deserves someone who celebrates every brave little step. Could that someone be you? (54) Apply at buddysrescue.org!   ##2832412##

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.   Hi, I’m Miss Beulah Bella. I’m a 9½-year-old Yorkie/Maltese mix, and I’m a very shy little girl. My life didn’t have the easiest beginning. I spent my first six years in a puppy mill before being rescued and finding a loving home. Sadly, after losing my person, I’m looking for a family once again.  I don’t ask for much. I love my cozy bed, sitting in the sunshine, short walks, car rides, and having a quiet place to relax.  ☀️  I’m okay with calm dogs who give me my space, and I’m not much of a barker. I may never be the dog who runs up and asks for attention. I’m nervous around people and need time to trust. But I’ll sit quietly beside you, and maybe someday, when I feel safe, I’ll let you know just how much you mean to me. All I’m hoping for is someone patient, gentle, and willing to let me be me. I’m an older girl looking for my forever retirement home — a peaceful place where I can spend my golden years feeling safe, loved, and finally at home.  ❤️   Could you be my person?    Apply @Buffalocares.org   Adoption Fee: $425.00 RR48    Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.All dogs come fully up to date on shots, microchipped, heart worm tested, de-wormed, on flea and heart worm preventative, and spayed/neutered.  If interested in learning more or adopting please fill out an application on our website at www.buffalocares.org.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Talvi, a lovely little Bichon girl who is learning that life can be so much more than what she's always known. After spending her life as a breeder dog, she's now discovering the comfort and security of being part of a family. While many things are still new to her, Talvi is making progress every day and is looking for a patient, understanding home that will continue helping her build confidence. Talvi is a sweet, gentle girl with a quiet charm all her own. While she can be shy initially, she has already shown that she wants to be part of the action. In fact, she'll let you know when she's feeling left out, especially if the other dogs are heading outside without her. A few barks are often her way of saying, "Don't forget about me!" Like many dogs who haven't had much one-on-one attention, Talvi can be a little evasive when it's time to be picked up and may play a brief game of "catch me if you can." Once she feels secure and trusts her people, however, she completely melts. She'll practically lay down and wait for you to scoop her up, showing just how much she's beginning to enjoy feeling safe and cared for. Because she has always lived with other dogs, Talvi would do best in a home with another small, friendly canine companion. She takes comfort in having doggy friends around and looks to them for reassurance as she navigates new experiences. She enjoys treats, is learning about toys and chewies, and continues to grow more curious about the world around her. Talvi is still working on her house training and has not yet learned to walk on a leash. Her future family should be prepared to help her learn these skills through patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Since she is not leash trained, a securely fenced yard is preferred for her safety. She gets along well with other dogs and is respectful around cats. Talvi has also recently had a dental procedure and is feeling great. She has been groomed and will require regular professional grooming throughout her life to keep her beautiful Bichon coat healthy and looking its best. Each day brings a little more confidence, personality, and trust from this special girl. Watching Talvi blossom has been incredibly rewarding, and we know the family who gives her the love and patience she deserves will be rewarded with a devoted and loving companion. Talvi is spayed, microchipped, up to date on core vaccinations, has had a dental, and is negative for heartworm. Adoption Fee: $500 If you're looking for a gentle soul who is ready to leave her past behind and discover the joys of being a beloved family member, Talvi may be the perfect addition to your home. To help keep our dogs safe, we require a martingale collar at the time of adoption. If you don't already have one, Pixie Mamas has them available for $10.

Story
Bree is ready to meet her forever family! At just 12.4 pounds, Bree has big opinions about some things: She’s not a fan of men , the perfect potty spot, who gets to sit in your lap, and why dry kibble has no business in her dinner. (Yes, she picks it out of the wet food. Every. Single. Piece. ) Bree #8 3-year-old female Bichon Frise Vaccinated | Spay scheduled for January 15 Bree loves a good sniff walk, saying hello to people and dogs along the way, and following you around the house like your tiny fluffy shadow. When you finally sit down, she’ll happily claim your lap and pay rent in kisses. This little watchdog can be protective of her favorite person, and loud noises or voices can startle her into barking. She may bark or growl at first, so give her space and let her come to you. She’s still polishing her leash manners and learning how to tell you she needs to go out. For now, regular potty breaks help her stay on track. (32) Want to adopt Bree? Apply at buddysrescue.org.Please share to help this little lap dog find a soft place to land!   ##2878939##
