This sweet little gentleman is Nelson, an 11-year-young Maltipoo who still has the playful active spirit of a puppy. He’s looking for a loving adult home where he can be someone’s loyal companion. Nelson is the kind of dog who bonds deeply with his person. He loves to play, cuddle, and happily follow his human from room to room. • House trained, crate trained, and doggie-door trained • Gets along great with other dogs and even cats • Sweet, affectionate, and very loyal Because Nelson is very devoted to his people and protective of them, he would do best in a calm adult-only home where he can feel secure and settled. He would make a wonderful companion dog for someone looking for a loving little shadow who enjoys both playtime and relaxing close to his human. $200 adoption fee covers neuter, vaccines, parasite prevention and microchip Apply at www.fullcirclerescueandsanctuary.com

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.All of the animals posted on our site have been temperament tested. While not all are in the immediate area, once we have processed and approved your application, we will move the dog to our adoptive area for you to meet, greet and hopefully adopt. Sometimes we will have more than one application on a dog. That does not mean it automatically goes to another family but you should be aware of the fact that until you are approved and set up for the meet/greet.. the dog could get adopted by another applicant.Nino is one sweet little Maltipoo and has already won over his foster in only moments!    BACK STORY ON NINO; Nino had a rough start to life.  While he had a home, it is apparent that his human didn’t spend much quality time with him. He arrived at his foster home very stressed and afraid. He doesn’t seem to have been exposed to much of the world, but he is curious to explore new things with gentle encouragement. He has his own little (poodle) personality and likes to cuddle up and receive attention. His fur is as soft as velvet! He’ll cuddle next to you on the couch but is also content to lounge on the floor next to your feet. He gets along with other dogs but doesn’t really interact with them.  Nino is a good eater and likes just about everything, including cucumbers and cauliflower! He enjoys exploring and walks well on leash.  He is house trained and will go to the door (or whine) when he needs to go outside.  He is very food driven and also very smart, which makes him easy to train.  He wants to please and will do just about anything for treats! He sleeps well (sleeps on his bed on the floor) and doesn’t demand to get up early (lets you sleep in if you want!)   Due to his slow start in life, Nino is a little on the nervous side.  He needs more time with a human parent who will help show him the world and build his confidence.  Obedience training with his new human is a requirement in order to continue building his trust and confidence.  He enjoys his training sessions with his foster mom and may eventually also like to do other forms of training such as agility. Nino is crate trained but doesn’t require being confined to a crate when he is home alone. He doesn’t get into things he shouldn’t, so hurting himself or making messes should not be much of a concern.  He is also fine with being left alone. I think he enjoys the peace and quiet Nino will need a quiet home with a person experienced with the poodle breed or who has a calm demeanor.  He tends to be concerned when meeting new people, so a household that has lots of people coming and going is not a good fit.    This little guy has the potential to make someone a great companion, but no small children.  He is curious about cats but doesn’t chase them.  Update from his foster:  Nino has come a long way!  Not only does his foster state that his confidence has grown, since going to training, but he also loves it when she teaches him things-loves treats and loves doing things to earn them. He also would make a good hiking companion. (He’s calm in the house but has plenty of endurance when hiking.)  His foster does not recommend that Nino be placeed in a home with children or with lots of people coming and going, but he is very suitable for a calm home/owner who can provide consistent guidance.    If you are interested in Nino, please fill out an application at: https://reachoutrescue.rescuegroups.org/forms/form?formid=4588    Or contact: rorrcanine@gmail.com   *** Click here to sponsor this dog! ***Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 29, 2026, 5:28 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.This is a courtesy posting. Please call 410-627-6563 for information on fostering or adopting Truman. At 11 pounds and 1 1/2 years old this sweet boy is in need of a soft place to land. Poor little Truman was found running scared through the streets of Baltimore City trying to survive. Kids were throwing cans and bricks at him. Although he is improving in his loving foster home, his previous life has left him somewhat fearful and he will require someone with previous dog experience and a lot of patience. He gains comfort from other dogs and will need a dog companion in his new home as well as a physically fenced yard. Can anyone help this little survivor?Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 25, 2026, 3:04 pm
