Maltese puppies and dogs in Woonsocket, Rhode Island

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.

Meet Snow, our beloved 12-year-old Maltese princess who has been a cherished member of our family for her entire life. This sweet, friendly, and lovable girl enjoys nothing more than belly rubs and chasing after crumb droppings on the floor. Despite her age, Snow still runs like the wind, especially when frolicking in the grass or basking in the sun. She may be a bit shy at the groomers, but her heart is as warm as can be. As much as it breaks our hearts, we’ve made the difficult decision to find Snow a new loving home. With our family now bustling with two little toddlers, we realize that Snow deserves undivided attention and care, something we may not be able to provide amidst our busy and active lifestyle. We’re looking for a family who will cherish Snow as much as we do and give her the love and attention she deserves in her golden years.”

Little Snowball arrived to the shelter as a stray, extremely underweight, so very hungry and with coat that was terribly matted as can be seen in his last photo. Please read his entire bio before reaching out to the shelter. Snowball was so underweight that shelter staff had to carefully feed him through his first couple weeks to make sure that he was able to safely process food after almost starvation. But this tiny 10 lb. boy has proved to have quite a determined, sassy attitude! Snowball wants to get to know people at his own pace. He is looking for an adult only home with no kids, dogs or cats. If children are going to be visitors, his new adopters should be prepared to have a spot for him to be safely kept away. This guy has lost some trust in people, but is trying awfully hard to make connections. Snowball is clear about his need for space, and will give a warning growl to people who push him too fast. Once he is comfortable, he will crawl up and cuddle.Snowball would like a quiet home, with adult adopters only who are willing to go very slow on getting to know him. If you need a dog to pick up and snuggle right away, he is not the pup for you. Snowball has been through a tough time and may do best with local adopters who are able to come to the shelter multiple times in order to gain his confidence. Although his coat was trimmed down, he will require regular professional grooming to keep him comfortable, and his new adopters' should be prepared for that cost. If you are viewing Snowball's profile on Adopt-a-Pet, please head to our official website at worcesterarl.org and click on his photo to fill out the Dog Adoption Inquiry Form to request a meet with him. All adoptions are by appointment, thank you!

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.

ALL animals are in foster homes as we do NOT have a  shelter where you can visit. Some animals are in foster care in New England, and some are located in other states. If the initials following the animals name are a state, then that is the state where the animal is located. If initials are not a state, then those are the initials of the foster home outside of New England and you will not be able to meet the animal ahead of time. Complete our online application You will be contacted by phone or email by the foster parent  or a member of our adoption team and will have the opportunity to find out more about the animal, and ask any questions that you have to ensure the animal is a good fit for your household. If the animal is local, you can meet the animal, but you would not be able to take the dog home until you are approved to adopt. If you feel comfortable that the animal is a good fit for your home, at this point, you would submit a sum of $200 as a partial payment of the adoption fee as we process your application. From our end, we will check references and schedule a home visit. If you are not approved to adopt, any payment sent to us would be promptly returned in full. At this point, we will remove the animal from our adoption sites and hold the animal for you while we check your references. If you live in an apartment, or a condo, we will need to verify permission to own the animal from your landlord or condo board. Please let your vet’s office and references know we will be contacting them. If your  references are positive, we will schedule a home visit by a volunteer. Please try to accommodate the home visit volunteer as most  have busy schedules. Delays in the visit will result in a delay in the adoption. Once you are approved, you will receive an e-mail with your  adoption contract attached. This e-mail will have details about pick up, the balance of the adoption fee that is owed, etc. Please email your signed & witnessed contract and pay your adoption fee in full, and for any animals located out of state, you will be contacted for details about transport to New England. Once you have paid your adoption fee in full and sent back your contract, you can make arrangement to pick up your animal from the foster home or from transport depending on where the animal is located. Please bring a harness, collar, ID tag and leash when you are picking up the dog unless otherwise instructed by the foster parent.
