Story
Lady’s a 7yo 10lb Maltese mix. She’s dog selective, cat and kid 13+ friendly. She’s housebroken if kept on a schedule but will wear a diaper and use pee pads and crate trained. She’s good in a secure fenced in yard and/or going for harness leashed walks. She’s agile, smart, likes squeaky toys, people and going for walks but will bark at people, dogs and noises. She is easy startled so best to sleep in a dog bed on the floor so not to accidentally wake her while sleeping. Lady’s foster requires a calm home, where someone is home often, so not to be left for long periods of time, be an only dog, brushed/groomed often to prevent matting along with leadership, consistency, structure and to continue working on training. If your home DOES NOT meet these requirement’s please DO NOT put an application in. We will not call anyone whose home does not meet the needed requirements. Also, we will be concentrating on local to foster applications 1st since home checks and meets with all humans and animals in home is needed at meet. Our fosters are all volunteers so aren’t always able to travel too far. Lady as all dogs should have 2 weeks in their new home with just their people who live in the home and to not have people over for at least 2 weeks. Dogs need time to settle in and adjust to their new people and environment first so they can learn to trust them first. Lady takes medication for a seizure disorder and for her eyes. She’s spayed, vaccinated, HW negative and microchipped. Currently in Phila, PA. If your home meets the needed requirements and you’re interested in applying to adopt please do so at www.tprescue.org

Story
Meet sweet Daishi, a charming 12-year-old Maltese Lhasa Apso mix weighing just 20 pounds. Daishi’s loving mom has moved to assisted living, so now this gentle senior is looking for a quiet, forever home where she can enjoy her golden years in comfort and peace.  Daishi is a wonderful companion who walks nicely on a leash and gets along well with other dogs in her foster home. She prefers to sleep cozy on her dog bed at night rather than in a crate, and she loves basking in the warm spring sunshine outdoors.  If you have a calm home and a heart ready to give Daishi the love she deserves, she would be so grateful to join your family. To open your home to Daishi and make her senior years happy and full of love, please fill out an adoption application at oneloveanimalrescue.org.To be considered as this pet's adopter, please go to  https://oneloveanimalrescue.org/adoption-applications/dog-application/ to complete your application.
