Story
Hi, I’m Baby Shark, a 6-year-old Maltese mix with a big attitude and even bigger personality! Despite my small size, I’m basically a cranky little old man trapped in a dog’s body, and I know exactly what I want and how to get it. 😎 I’m quirky, independent, and definitely particular about what I like—like, don’t even think about picking me up or brushing me. I’m Baby Shark for a reason, people. 🦈 Now, you may be wondering, “What does Baby Shark do for fun?” Well, I love to watch TV—especially Stepbrothers. 🛋️ I have an undeniable obsession with Will Ferrell (don’t ask me why, I just love him), and I’ll happily sit there and watch the movie on repeat if you’ll let me. Even though I can be a little grumpy at times (hey, I’m not that old, but I’m set in my ways), I’m also a huge cuddle bug. I may not want to be picked up, but I’ll happily curl up next to you on the couch for some quality cuddle time and pets. ❤️ I’m a total social butterfly and love hanging out with cats, kids, and other dogs. I’ve come a long way and have captured the hearts of everyone lucky enough to meet me. 🐾 Oh, and did I mention I LOVE chicken? 🍗 If you ever need a way to win me over, just offer me a little chicken, and you’ll be my best friend. If you're looking for a quirky, lovable little guy who’s full of surprises, then I’m your man. Adopt Baby Shark and let’s enjoy some laughs, cuddles, and, of course, some Will Ferrell movie nights together! 😄

Story
Hi! My name’s Worm (short for Wiggle Worm), and I’m a 3 ½-year-old Maltese with a whole lot of personality packed into my little body. I might be small, but don’t let that fool you—I’ve got the energy of the Energizer Bunny and the confidence of a Great Dane. 💪 I don’t walk like other dogs—I bounce! It’s like my feet are made of springs, and I’m always ready for my next adventure. Whether it’s chasing my toys, zooming around the yard, or just keeping you on your toes, I’m a whirlwind of excitement. 🌀 I’m sweet as can be and great with kids (they match my energy!). I’m also okay with dog-savvy cats who can handle my big personality. However, I’m extremely picky when it comes to other dogs. I do not get along with large dogs, so I need a home where I can be the king of the castle or have very carefully chosen small-dog friends. 👑🐾 Now, about my living situation—I need a secure yard with a 5-ft fence (no chain link for me, please—I’m clever and might try to escape!). A GPS collar is also required, just in case my springs launch me into a new adventure. If you’re looking for a bundle of chaos, cuddles, and non-stop entertainment, I’m your guy. Adopt Worm today, and let’s bounce into a lifetime of fun together! 🐾✨

In the meantime, Oreo is currently on medication and doing well, and he’s been handling things like a champ! We are continuing to monitor his progress, and as soon as we have more information, we’ll update his bio. Oreo is in foster care, patiently waiting for his forever home. He’s sweet, well cared for, and ready to meet potential adopters.

Still looking for a home. Sweet and shy Coco needs someone home to love her. We don't feel she got what she needed in her last 2 homes with her senior moms. She deserves to be spoiled with love and affection.  We are looking for her home and family that will be fprever.  No more changes for Coco  She is good with cats and dogs, Coco does have some anxiety which is understandable, so someone who works from home or home most of the time is ideal for her..  Coco is 10 years old and around 30 lbs. Please go to the link to fill our our adoption application.  https://www.remembermerescueny.net/adoption-application  Remember Me Rescue does not adopt out of the local area, no transport is available.  We adopt to Long Island, Westchester, NYC area and parts of Connecticut only.

Story
Casey is a cutie pie. He is a 6 yr old Maltese who has been through hell. He was surrendered to a high kill shelter because his owner could not afford vet care. She never did any vet care for him.  An amazing sponsor covered all of Casey's numerous surgeries, :  Neuter, Dental removing 20 teeth, a double hernia, a prolapsed rectum, but thanks to this angel Casey is now ready to find his forever home.  Despite everything, Casey is always happy, He loves to play fetch and is great with dogs and kids. What Casey deserves is a family with a couple of well behaved kids ( he cannot be fed junk or table scraps), a small dog friend, and a fenced in yard on either Long Island or westchester. He needs a family who can afford any possible, future vet bills. If you think you can give this cuddle bug, the life he deserves, then please fill out our application online...link below...

Story
There’s a little Snow on the adoption board forecast (if you get my drift!), namely, a four-year-old Maltese mix capable of melting your heart. Initially a bit timid, once he feels comfortable he’s quite affectionate, sweet-natured, and engaging. He loves going on walks, talking about his day, making plans for your next outing, and then chilling by your side. Just the right size to accompany you on any adventure, Snow will ensure that you have a ball! The Maltese is loved worldwide for its unique combination of intelligence, energy, and gentle, loving disposition. You’ll feel a flurry of excitement as soon as you meet Snow…don’t miss the opportunity to make him a part of your family! *Snow is fully grown and not housebroken*
