Story
Sylvester is a 7-month-old Maltese/Poodle mix, weighing in at 13 pounds of pure fluff and personality. He was surrendered with another dog when he didn’t sell quickly enough at a commercial breeder. Lucky for him, that means he gets a shot at the loving home he truly deserves! Now, before you judge his looks in the photos, let us explain: Sylvester is rocking his “before” look. Think of it as his shaggy chic phase. His long, mop-like fur could probably sweep your kitchen floor while he walks by. But underneath that glorious fuzz is a happy, silly puppy who’s ready to steal your heart (and maybe your Swiffer’s job). Sylvester is everything you’d expect from a young pup—playful, goofy, and full of love. He’s looking for a family who will laugh at his bedhead days, enjoy his antics, and help him shine with a little grooming and a lot of affection. Ready to meet Sylvester and turn that mop into magic? Apply today and give this sweet boy the forever home he deserves! (and do not worry, he is scheduled for grooming). He will come neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and 4dx tested. He would need to meet any resident dogs. If you are serious about adoption, please fill out the adoption application on our website www.phoenixanimalrescue.com His adoption fee is $550.

Hello, my name is: AnnaApprox. DOB: 12/26/2018Weight: 5.6 lbsSex/Breed: Spayed female Maltese Rescued From: Breeding kennel*SPECIAL NEEDS: ANNA WAS BORN WITH ABNORMALITIES IN HER HIND FEET*After spending her life having puppies for profit, this little lady is more than ready to start the best years of her life. Being a house pet is still very new to Anna, but she is doing her best to be brave. Her curiosity wins often in the home, and she’ll cautiously follow her foster mom around, though she is still shy when approached. It’s been so heartwarming to watch her tail wag, even though she’s unsure of her surroundings. Anna is looking for a quiet home with a resident dog (or more) to learn from. She’d do best with a secure area outside for potty training and leash skills. Cats would be fine too. Despite the abnormalities she was born with in her hind feet, they don’t slow her down! She gets around the house and yard very well. With a patient family willing to meet her where she is, we have no doubt she’ll start to blossom and become the devoted companion she is meant to be.

Please read the bio in full for answers to your questions. In the event you have a question that is not covered in the bio, please email info@seniordoghaven.org. If interested in adopting, please complete an adoption application which can be found at https://seniordoghaven.org/adoption-process/. Please note that because all our dogs live in foster homes, we are unable to set up meetings with a dog unless we have a completed adoption application on file. Adoptions must be within a reasonable distance from King of Prussia, Pennsylvania for our volunteers to be able to conduct an in-person home visit. Toby is a small gentleman with a big personality who is ready to find his forever home. He is an approximately 9–10-year-old Maltese Poodle mix weighing just 9 pounds and is currently fostered in King of Prussia, PA. Toby is an easy-going, friendly boy who truly enjoys being around his people. He loves sitting next to you on the couch and will climb onto your lap when he’s in the mood for extra affection, but he is also content to have some independent time. He has a wonderful balance of companionship and self-sufficiency, making him an excellent fit for many types of homes. He gets along well with other dogs and does great with children of all ages. Toby is a minimal barker, walks nicely on a leash, and has a medium energy level. He enjoys daily walks, car rides, and relaxing naps throughout the day. He is mostly housebroken and doing very well with his routine. He can do stairs, does not mind being picked up or handled, and would be fine in a home with or without a yard. While he is not a fan of crates, he prefers and does well in a dog pen. Toby would thrive in a home where someone is around often. He would be happy in either a calm, low-key household or a more active family environment. He can be an only dog or share his home with another canine companion. He warms up quickly, loves people, and adapts easily. One of Toby’s favorite things is dog beds—he happily moves from bed to bed throughout the day. He also likes to “talk” to his people when he wants something, whether that’s a potty break, attention, or help getting onto the couch. On walks, his happy little wiggle never fails to bring smiles. If you are looking for a loving, well-mannered small dog who will make a wonderful companion, Toby could be the perfect addition to your

Story
My sweet Linnie 💗 Linnie is a 10 year old Maltese little lady who was time stamped at ACCT Philly. Her owners surrendered her to the shelter because it was obvious by her breath that she needed a dental and they said they could not afford it. The team at Zoe’s House, with the help of our wonderful community, got her free of the euthanasia list and into a loving foster home. She was determined to have a serious heart murmur but with medication, she was cleared to undergo surgery to be spayed and to have a dental where the diseased teeth were removed. It was also determined that Linnie has some mammary masses, likely from not being spayed early in her life, which are likely cancerous. Her heart and age caution against the prolonged surgery to remove these masses. Linnie is on a daily heart medication and gabapentin for any discomfort. Linnie is unbothered. She is a lady who knows what she likes and what she wants. She enjoys her meals, long naps thereafter and loving in between. She travels fabulously in the car and walks well on a leash. She loves a pup cup 😋She is house trained and cares not for the crate. She doesn’t need it. She is a true lady who is just hoping to enjoy her golden years close by her human. She is being fostered with other small dogs and tolerates respectful interaction but she would love to be the center of your eye and heart. She is a joy❤️ Linnie is being fostered in Collegeville, Montgomery County. A home visit and meet and greet with all residents is part of the application process. She is up to date with vaccines and preventatives. She is microchipped. If you have room in your home and heart for this little lady, apply here >>> zoeshouserescue.com Zoe’s House Rescue Kennel license 9117 Reading, PA 19607
