Story
Meet Taco! This 17-pound, 9 year old Maltese mix carries his years with grace. He may be 9, but Taco’s heart is timeless—and anyone lucky enough to know him gets to feel just how big it really is! He came to us after his family could no longer care for him, but he isn't letting his past stop him from stealing the hearts of everyone he meets. He is the perfect balance of snuggly, playful, spunky, and laid back. April 27, 2026, 5:08 pm

Story
My name is Molly and I was brought to the shelter with my brother, Milo, when a family member began to have health issues and could no longer keep us. We are a bonded pair of maltese that would very much like to stay together. We are both 4 years old and friendly. We enjoy sitting in your lap, being pet, and of course, treats! We are up to date on everything and would love to meet you!

Story
Hi! My name is Mason. I am a really sweet little guy, and I am just looking for my furever home! I am 6 months old (born 10-12-2025), weigh about 6 pounds, and I love dogs, cats and kids. I would like a home with kids! I love them. I am doing so well with all of them in my foster home in South Carolina! I do not shed but I do need regular grooming :) I am neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, dewormed, current with all vaccines (as appropriate for my age) and on flea and heartworm prevention. I am all ready to be adopted :) My adoption fee is $450 and covers all of my vetting. I can also be transported (for a small additional fee) to the northeast USA. ***PLEASE DO NOT FILL OUT AN ADOPTION APPLICATION IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO ADOPT WITHIN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS**** Please visit https://www.apply.daybeforetherainbow.com/ to fill out an adoption application form or email my rescue at taryn@daybeforetherainbow.com! Thanks for checking me out!
