Story
Meet Sammy Jo! He hasn’t had the easiest path in life, but you’d never know it by the gentle way he’s beginning to trust again. This sweet boy is slowly stepping out of his shell and showing us the loving heart that’s been there all along. He is a white 10 year old Maltese who is incredibly sweet and enjoys being petted and loved on by his people. He’s starting to show his playful side by recently wagging his tail and initiating play with one of the smaller dogs in his foster home. He is fully potty trained and has never had an accident in the house or his crate. His crate is his safe haven, a place he willingly goes to relax and feel secure. He also does well with children and enjoys calm, gentle interaction. Sammy Jo does have food aggression and will need structured feeding with clear, consistent boundaries. He must be fed separately, and his space around food needs to be respected. With routine and predictability, he does well. He also has a collapsing trachea and requires medication twice daily. His future family will need to stay committed to keeping him on his medication schedule to ensure he stays comfortable and healthy. Sammy Jo values his personal space, especially around other dogs. If dogs are constantly in his face or if food is involved, he can become overwhelmed. However, he is making steady progress and is slowly building tolerance with proper introductions. Sammy Jo will thrive in a home that believes in structure, patience, and consistency. He needs a family who understands that trust takes time and that giving him appropriate space is a form of love. In return, you’ll get a loyal companion who is learning every day that the world can be safe again. The quiet cuddles, the tail wags, the small victories. They mean everything with a dog like Sammy Jo. If you would like to give Sammy Jo the love he has always deserved, please apply at pawpatroldayton.com. Adoption fee is $160 which includes microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and neutered. All of our animals are vaccinated, micro-chipped and spayed/neutered before being adopted.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Billie, the 16-pound marshmallow who recently pulled off the greatest prison break in San Antonio history. Born around January 2023, this white Maltipoo mix traded his "ruff" life at the pound for a life of luxury, and frankly, he’s not looking back. Billie’s current hobbies include being aggressively sweet, making friends with every dog he meets, and basking in the spotlight like the tiny celebrity he clearly is. He’s currently working on his PhD in "Going Potty Outside" and is showing some seriously promising progress. If you’re looking for a low-shedding sidekick who thinks he’s the main character of your life, Billie is your guy. You can submit your application to be his personal assistant (officially known as an "adopter") at  A Doggie 4 You . His adoption fee is $400—a small price to pay for a lifetime of fluff and unconditional love. This dog is currently in Texas; however, it can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington KY or all along the East Coast. If transported, there is an additional transport fee of $225. We do not transport to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to their regulations.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 24, 2026, 1:20 pm
