Story
EuGe is a 9 year old Maltese Terrier cross. He came from a home where they couldn’t care for the dogs any longer. He gets along great with other dogs. He isn’t sure about cats and sometimes barks at mine. He’s a great companion dog, follows me and sits beside my chair. He is passive but playful when stimulated. He’s the perfect little laid back gentleman for a quieter home. He’s leash trained and will use pads. His Vetting is complete: neutered, all vaccinations, flea tick heartworm prevention, dewormed. He has medium length hair but has a shorter summer clip right now. Email arkofcleveland@aol.com or call 423-472-2744.

Please read the entire bio for this rescue, it will provide all the information that one needs to decide if they would like to apply to adopt from SCMR.Simon & Mia   This little bonded Maltese pair are in need of Sponsor Angels. They can not be separated. SCMR will care for them as long as they need us.    Mia is 10 years old and weighs only 5.6 pounds. She has a 6/6 heart murmur  and mitral valve disease with left ventricular enlargement which makes anesthesia very dangerous, if not impractical, for any procedures she needs such as a dental for her advanced dental disease. She also has high blood pressure.   Simon is 7 years old and 10.6 pounds. He has hip dysplasia and severe luxating patellas. Also he has advanced dental disease and a mast cell tumor on his side. He will be closely monitored for signs of pain and decreased mobility.   Please help us make life as easy and painless as possible for these two by making a tax deductible donation as a Sponsor Angel. SCMR will send you a tax acknowledgement for your donation. All donors will be listed as Sponsor Angels on Simon & Mia's posting on our web site.

Story
Please read the entire bio for this rescue, it will provide all the information that one needs to decide if they would like to apply to adopt from SCMR. Adoption Fee: $500.00   Hi there! I’m Toto — a 1-year-old, 5-pound Maltese boy who’s still wondering why my forever family hasn’t found me yet. I may be tiny, but my heart (and energy!) are huge! I love zooming around the house, playing with toys, and being right by your side. I’m what you might call a “total puppy” — curious, bouncy, and full of life.   I’m currently in my foster home in Georgia, where I spend my days playing and my nights cuddled up in bed with my foster mom. Yep, I sleep in the human bed because that’s where I feel safest and happiest! I also love being held — it’s my favorite thing.   I get along really well with other dogs, though I’ll admit that big dogs can be a little intimidating because, well, I’m only 5 pounds! My foster home doesn’t have any cats, so no one knows quite how I’d do around them yet. I’m still working on my house training — I’m a young guy and learning fast with a little help and patience.   Because of my small size and playful puppy energy, my ideal home would be with someone experienced with tiny dogs who understands how to keep me safe and happy.   Medical Update: I have a condition called cryptorchidism, which means one or both of my testicles didn’t descend properly. It’s a genetic condition, and to avoid putting me at risk with invasive surgery, SCMR decided not to proceed with neutering. My adopter must understand this condition and agree to keep me away from any females in heat. My adoption contract will include a requirement that I never be used for breeding.   Other than that, I’m healthy, happy, and not on any medications!   Even though I’m just a year old, I fall under SCMR’s Seniors for Seniors policy — which means our rescue is proud to consider adopters who are 70+ years old for rescues age 7 and up. While I’m a young pup myself, SCMR encourages everyone to also think about adopting one of our amazing senior dogs. They have so much love to give and truly make a house feel like home.   So… what do you say? I’m ready to bring joy, cuddles, and lots of zoom-zoom energy into your life. Could you be the one I’ve been waiting for?   — Love, Toto   Out-of-state adoptions are possible; however, the approved adoptive home is responsible for making the necessary arrangements to pick up their new little one.  To be considered to adopt me, please fill out an APPLICATION.  NOTE: SCMR does not adopt to homes with children under the age of 10 years or homes with Electric Fences.
