Story
                                                                             KENNEL ID #18804Heff is a 9 lb, 6-year-old Maltese who recently retired from a commercial breeding kennel. For most of his life, his only job was making puppies, so he’s still learning what it means to simply be a loved family dog. Heff is a very sweet little guy, but he’s understandably shy and unsure in new situations due to limited socialization. He enjoys being gently picked up and petted, though he may be nervous at first. While he doesn’t seek out attention yet, it’s clear he wants to trust and is making progress every day. Heff will need a patient adopter who understands that love, time, and consistency will help him continue to blossom. He thrives around other dogs and must have a confident canine companion in his new home to help him learn the routines of family life and build his confidence. A quiet home without young children would be the best fit for Heff. If you have a gentle heart and the patience to help this deserving little guy discover how wonderful life can be, Heff will reward you by becoming a loyal companion. Adoption Fee $400Thank you for your interest in rescue. If you would like to be considered for adoption, please submit an application to adopt. If you have any questions regarding the adoption process, please email:  rescuedp2024@icloud.com  or ddlu219@yahoo.com   for dog/puppies.    APPLICATIONS TO ADOPT : DOG     CAT     BIRD      REPTILE       SMALL ANIMALS       July 7, 2026, 9:20 pm

Story
CASHMERE is also still looking for her furever home.  Cashmere(Cash) is a 7 yo Maltese weighing 12 lbs that we rescued from a commercial breeding kennel. Cash had to have her remaining teeth removed due to decay but has no trouble eating food. She has a great appetite and runs over when hears the refrigerator door opening. She goes potty outside, walks daily around the neighborhood on a leash, enjoys good soft food and exploring the yard. She is good with every dog we meet and our pitbull. She is good in the crate overnight and I have left her for 4-5 hours during the day with no problem.  She knows “go potty”.  Her crate has also been dry overnight. She will also be happy to sleep in your bed with you all night. She knows come, time to eat, let’s go for a walk, and of course No. She will need another calm dog in the home to show her the ropes and build her confidence. I do have a fenced yard and that would be preferred as she loves it. But if no fence, she will need to be on a leash to be safe and need a daily walk or two. She is still shy and will need someone with patience and know that it takes time for them to trust you.  Mill dogs make the best pets ever who will bond with you forever.  Cashmere is now spayed, up to date with vaccines and microchipped. She tested negative for heartworm and has been started on monthly heartworm prevention. Her adoption fee is $250.00. If you are interested in adopting Cashmere,  please visit our website www.lharinc.org go to Adopt and complete the dog adoption application.  Logan's Heroes Animal Rescue 9411 Kings Highway, East Greenville, PA 18041.

Story
Check out this patriotic little guy!   Meet Baxter! If you're searching for a loving new family member, your search ends here. Baxter is a 12-pound, 2-3-year-old Malti Tzu (a Maltese and Shih Tzu mix), and he embodies all the best, sweetest traits of both breeds.  Ater a few days in his foster home, Baxter found his voice.  Yes he has that Maltese trait.  For this reason, Baxter is not suited to apartment life.   Baxter was found as a stray in Nashville after someone suspected he’d been hit by a car and brought him to the emergency vet. Thankfully, there were no broken bones, but he is currently healing from a sore back leg. (He’ll have X-rays taken when he’s neutered on 7/7.) We wish Baxter could tell us what happened and how he ended up on his own—it’s hard to imagine any family not wanting such a sweet boy.   Baxter is both a people-lover and a dog’s dog! He loves to play and would thrive with a young, active canine companion in his forever home. He adores people and always wants to be by your side—be prepared to never be alone again! His sore leg doesn’t slow him down; he still jumps on the furniture to be with his foster mom whenever steps are available.   This young gentleman walks well on a leash and is fully housebroken. He loves going on adventures and rides like a champ in the car—he even prefers the back seat, though he’s happy on a passenger’s lap, too! Baxter is the perfect companion for trips to the park or visits to dog-friendly restaurants and shops.     To learn more about bringing Baxter into your family or to request an adoption application, please email Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com or text 615-943-7311. Don’t wait—this sweet boy won’t be available for long!  July 9, 2026, 6:31 pm

Story
Hello, my name is: DuganApprox. DOB: 02/18/2026Weight: 3.1 lbsSex/Breed: Male Maltese/Mini Poodle mixRescued From: Breeding kennel*SPECIAL NEEDS: DUGAN SEEMS TO HAVE SOME NEUROLOGICAL DEFICITS CAUSING HIM TO BE UNSTEADY ON HIS FEET*Dugan is looking for a very special family that will support him and his needs, and love him for who he is. Dugan has stability issues which cause him to lose his balance. Despite these deficits, he is a happy-go-lucky little guy who loves to play and run around. He is living with other dogs in his foster home and seems to enjoy their company, but will need to be paired with one who won’t be too rough with him as he can easily be taken advantage of. Having a buddy would be great for him though! He is unable to navigate stairs, so a home with access to them could be dangerous for him. He would do best with older kids or a home without them. Dugan has a blast playing with his toys, then is happy to snuggle with his foster family and be held. He is the sweetest little boy and keeps his foster family laughing every day! It has been such a joy to watch this little man blossom into the companion he deserves to be. Please help us find Dugan the forever home he so desperately deserves!

Story
Hi everyone, my name is Fleurette! 🌸 As my name suggests, I am just a little flower and I am looking for the very best home where I can bloom! I am a 3 year old, 13 pound Bichon/Poodle mix. Thankfully, I was recently surrendered by a commercial breeder who bred me over and over again so they could make money off the sale of my puppies. Due to the conditions I spent the first few years of my life in, I am still quite timid and nervous around people. However, I am slowly but surely learning what it means to be a loved pet in a home and that people can be caring. 💕 My foster family says even though it takes time for me to warm up to new people, once I'm comfortable, I'm able to relax and enjoy their company. My furry foster brother has been really important in helping me learn what it means to be a loved dog. It will be essential that I go to a home with another confident dog who will help me continue to learn what it means to be a loved pet, to feel safe, and who I can look to when something new comes up. I will need a calm and quiet home and for my furever family to be patient with me. One of my favorite ways to spend the afternoons and evenings with my foster family is curled up on the couch getting little snuggles and pets. 🏡 I am crate trained and I spend the day in there while my foster parents are at work and I sleep in it at night too. I am learning how to walk well on a leash but I can still be a little on edge with new sights, smells, and sounds so I would really like my foster sibling to walk with us too. I am doing really good with potty training but accidents are to be expected until I understand the routine in my new home. 🐾 Due to my Bichon/Poodle coat, I will need regular grooming. I am spayed, microchipped, and up to date on my vaccines. I am currently being fostered in Bethlehem, PA and potential adopters may need to travel for a meet and greet. If you'd like to be my furever family, please fill out an application on our website using a laptop or desktop! Kennel license # 9117 Po box 2372 Reading PA 19608

Story
Meet Talia 💕 a 6-year-old Shih Tzu/Poodle mix with a gentle spirit and a heart that just needs time. Talia is a very shy, sensitive girl who is still learning to feel safe in the world around her. She is not a dog who seeks out attention right away in fact, she currently prefers space over physical affection and may not enjoy being pet at this time. Talia will need a patient, understanding home that respects her boundaries and allows her to come around on her own terms. While she may not be a “cuddly” dog right now, Talia finds comfort in quiet environments and consistent routines. With time, trust, and gentle encouragement, she has the potential to build meaningful bonds but her future family must be willing to go slow and celebrate the small wins. Talia is fully vaccinated, spayed, and has excellent manners for grooming. She is doing very well with housebreaking and continues to improve, though she may still have occasional accidents as she adjusts. Talia would do best in a calm, low-traffic home with patient adopters who understand shy or undersocialized dogs. She’s looking for someone who will love her for who she is right now not who they expect her to be. If you have a quiet home and a big heart for dogs who need a little extra understanding, Talia could be your girl 💗 Apply to adopt Talia here: https://www.zoeshouserescue.com/adopt Zoe’s House Rescue
