Maltese puppies and dogs in Happy Valley, Oregon

Goose the Fluffy Cottonball is a tiny little dog taking on a very big world, and somehow he manages to make every inch of it look more fun. He is fluffy, ridiculously cute, full of personality, and nearly impossible to overlook once you meet him. Watch Goose the Fluffy Cottonball’s video below to see his adorable zoomies, fluffy little face, and goofy personality in action: Goose may come in a small package, but there is plenty of personality packed inside. His foster describes him as a total little goofball who loves to play, has fun bursts of puppy energy, and is especially talented at showing off some very cute zoomies. He is also making wonderful progress with both crate training and potty training, giving him a great start as he continues learning the routines of home life. Goose is cat friendly and kid friendly, making him a sweet little companion for a variety of families. Most of all, though, Goose loves his people. He is affectionate, lovable, and ready to become the kind of best bud who sticks close for years to come. And with his pocket-sized stature, Goose was practically made to be a passenger prince. He is just the right size to tag along for coffee runs, errands, road trips, weekend adventures, visits with friends, or wherever else his future family decides to go. Imagine this tiny fluffy face riding beside you on the way to your next adventure, coming home for a round of zoomies, and then settling in with his favorite humans. Goose does not need to be a big dog to have a very big place in someone’s life. Small dog. Big world. Excellent passenger prince potential. Goose the Fluffy Cottonball is ready to find his person, claim his spot beside them, and become their best little bud forever.

Meet Chino! Chino is a 5-year-old Maltese looking for a calm, patient home where he can be someone’s one and only. This little guy is learning what it means to be loved and cherished — and while he may be shy at first, once you earn his trust, he’ll give you his whole heart. Watch his video here and come back to read more about him! https://youtu.be/7dnuzhZ3kR4 Chino is still getting used to affection, so he needs someone who understands that trust takes time. He would thrive with a single person or older adult who has prior dog experience and can offer consistency, quiet, and love. Once he feels safe, he’ll be your faithful lap dog — content just being near you. He walks well on a leash, is treat-motivated (especially when cheese is involved!), and is working hard to be on his best behavior to earn your affection. Chino lives in a home with small dogs like him and BIG dogs too. He is a not playful with any of his foster dog brothers. He prefers to lay in bed with his person and lap up all the affection and love. When his foster dad comes home he runs up to his leg and paws for attention. If you have a soft heart, a patient spirit, and an open lap, Chino may just be the loyal companion you’ve been waiting for.

Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!    Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond.   Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.    The rescue’s hard costs alone (excluding transport) for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,368. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.  While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs.   It doesn’t stop there!

Our goal is simple— to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing animals from the streets or overcrowded shelters where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option. The dog you've found online is not only lucky to be in our program, but also incredibly fortunate to have caught your eye.

SweetTart is a Velcro puppy who believes personal space is highly overrated! When you come home, she gets so excited that she wants to cover your entire face in kisses. Why settle for a simple hello when you can get the full SweetTart smooch treatment? This adorable girl has the cutest little curled tail and an underbite that will steal your heart. She gets along with other dogs and doesn’t mind sharing her home with cats, either! SweetTart is still working on her potty training and learning that it’s okay when her people leave. She can be a little barky when you head out, but she’s already showing improvement. SweetTart would love a family who wants a loyal little shadow, a professional cuddle buddy, and a puppy who thinks every homecoming deserves a kissing marathon. If you’re looking for a best friend who will adore you with her whole heart (and then some), **SweetTart is ready to stick to you like sugar! Local adoption fee is $450(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $750 (includes transport to your area)
