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. This includes his microchip, heartworm test, up to date on vaccinations, and neuter. All of our animals are vaccinated, micro-chipped and spayed/neutered before being adopted.

Story
MEET MARKIE — 8 POUNDS OF PURE, PRANCING CHARM! 5 years old. 8 pounds. One tiny white pony with a big personality. Have you ever dreamed about the perfect white pony—but without the feed bill and at a fraction of the size? If so, Markie hits the mark! Although he can’t pull a carriage, he can certainly pull off Mr. Charming. This little Maltipoo is proof that you don’t need to be big to make a grand entrance! A LITTLE ABOUT MARKIE: A real-life My Little Pony! Markie lives to rear up and do a little dance. Naturally, we sing the My Little Pony theme song while he shows off his signature moves! Playtime enthusiast! He loves to wrestle, play, and keep everyone entertained with his silly, spirited personality. Leisurely flower sniffer! Markie enjoys taking his time on walks, sniffing the flowers, exploring his surroundings, and appreciating the finer things in life. A working little man! Markie enjoys having a job and takes his responsibilities seriously—especially when it comes to reminding everyone that he is still a dog when it comes to his territory. No one comes around unnoticed! Markie considers himself head of security. Nothing happens on his watch, and no visitor arrives without being properly announced. Social butterfly! Markie enjoys walks and playing with other dogs. He is social and would love having another dog to snuggle with in his forever home. ✨ MARKIE’S PERSONALITY & NEEDS ✨ Maltipoo charm in a tiny package Loves to rear up and dance Enjoys wrestling and playing Loves walks and sniffing flowers Social with other dogs Would enjoy a canine companion Protective of his territory Non-shedding breed Requires regular grooming to prevent matting Tiny body, BIG range of emotions! Markie will need a firm, confident leader who can provide structure, clear boundaries, and consistent guidance. He is not shy about letting people know that all eight pounds of him can Jekyll-and-Hyde his way from prancing pony to white devil when he feels the need to defend his territory! His new family will need to understand that his adorable size does not mean he should be allowed to make all the decisions. With the right leadership, Markie can be a charming, playful, affectionate companion. ✂️ GROOMING IS A MUST! Because Markie is a non-shedding breed, his coat will mat without regular brushing and professional grooming. His new family will need to stay committed to maintaining his coat and keeping him comfortable, healthy, and looking his best. AND THE SUPPORT DOESN’T END WHEN HE GOES HOME! Markie is with one of our trainers in Lucasville Ohio. At Voodoo K9, they believe adoption is about more than finding a dog a couch. It’s about creating a successful, lifelong relationship! Markie’s new adopter will receive: Individual training to help you learn how to work with him and build a solid relationship. Maintenance classes to keep his skills sharp and continue reinforcing good manners. Lifetime training support for the life of your dog, because we’re here for you long after adoption day! ✨ Markie is ready to find his forever home! If you think you have what it takes to handle eight pounds of prancing, playful, protective Maltipoo charm! Fill out an application on our website and we will get you in touch with Voodoo K9 in Lucasville! All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, microchipped and if over 6 months of age, heartworm tested and on heartworm preventative in their foster home. We require an approved application to meet any of our dogs. We do not have a shelter location and will not arrange a meeting without an approved application. We strive to make sure the bios provided for our dogs are complete and accurate; we do understand that mistakes happen, however, so if you absolutely cannot find the answer to your question in the dog's bio, you can contact us for more information. We require a home visit for each dog we adopt out, so we adopt within a 2 hour radius of Dayton, OH. If you are outside of this radius, we encourage you to contact your local rescue or shelter.   October 20, 2026, 2:44 pm

I like to be near you but I'm not really a lap dog - I prefer my own seat. However, I like an occasional snuggle and enjoy belly rubs but I will give you some personal space too! By the way (hint....hint...).....I do enjoy a nice car ride and love having a spa day! I do require regular brushing and grooming. I do great in my crate but I would really prefer to be out with you. So, if you're looking for a smart, happy, loving and fun gal, I'm the one for you! **Maylee does have lower airway disease and may need periodic steroids to keep her comfortable.** ADOPTION FEE: $450 (All MVPC dogs are heartworm-tested and on prevention, completely vetted, spayed/neutered, microchipped, crate-trained and house-trained) ADOPTER: Dog experience FENCE: Required (an electric fence is not an acceptable form of containment) BIRTHDAY: 5/15/20 DOG FRIENDLY: Yes DOGS IN HOME: Yes or can be solo CATS: Yes CHILDREN: Yes, 8 and over I AM READY TO GO HOME - If you are approved to be my new family, a hold fee of $100 is required and will be applied to the full adoption fee of $450 when MVPC comes to visit your house with me! ***WE DO NOT HOLD DOGS.
