Story
Latte is a 7 year old female Maltese/Yorkshire Terrier mix. She is loving towards anyone she meets. The perfect companion. She is playful, and cuddly. She is dog friendly, cat friendly and kid friendly. Latte was severely mistreated by her previous owners and developed extremely large kidney stones. Altruistic worked with an independent foster to get her treated and she now has no signs of kidney stones. Due to her previous frequent urination, she is not yet potty trained. She is a smart girl and is going outside and on pads about 60% of the time. She is good with cats, dogs and children.

Story
Meet Riley!Listen, we love Riley. We do. She's cute, she's fluffy, she's a real life muppet, she's sentient dryer lint with eyes, she's ADORABLE. She's a 10yo maltese mix that we THINK weighs around 12-15lbs but...it could just be floof. And anger.As much as we love Riley, she is the epitome of cranky old lady unless she likes you. She'll tell you off, she'll grumble, she'll give you dirty looks, she'll essentially make you feel guilty for doing something that you weren't even aware you did. She stomps her little feet and huffs impatiently and it's literally like having someone's sassy vovó following you around.If she DOES like you, though?She's in your lap, hopping all over you, making friends and giving you kisses. She's smart and curious and loves pets and walks like a dream on a leash. She's all cuddles and snuggles and sitting pretty and showing off like the good girl she CAN be...but mostly chooses NOT to be.We always say that we let the animals choose their adopters...with Riley, this will be so, painfully accurate that it's not even funny.She DOES, however, want to be your center of attention and can get a little possessive of treats and toys, so she needs to be the only animal in the home and we would prefer any children in the home be at least 12yo.

Meet Sam! Sam is about 10 years old, 5 lbs, and he may have some Maltese in his mix! His owner could no longer care for him. In his foster home, he is working on his house-training, crate-training and does well with leash-walking. He could go to a home with kids 10+, dogs. No cats, please! No apartments, please!His foster says, "Sam has so much love to offer and he loves men. He will play with his toys throwing them up in the air. His favorite thing is lying next to my husband in the recliner in the evenings. He has had some accidents in the house. And we have been working really hard on potty training."He is available for adoption in Dartmouth MA on April 26th.
