BOOSTS YOUR MOOD, MAKES YOU SMILE Est. DOB 1/7/15, WEIGHT 12.7 lbs. Arf! Arf, everyone! I’m Sammy, a sweet, friendly, quiet, and affectionate white Maltipoo (Maltese/ Mini Poodle mix) fella who is, in my humble opinion, the world’s greatest little dog. I think my foster mom agrees because she loves it that I curl up and settle in her lap whenever I can. There are two resident dogs and a cat in my foster home, but I’m much rather interact with beloved Foster Mom than play with them. I have a comical idiosyncrasy: I like to burrow under anything I can move and get under. You name it – bedcovers, blankets, pillows, throws. Foster Mom thinks it’s adorable that a cute little thing such as I am likes to excavate my own little lair like a mole. Let me tell you a little about Maltipoos. We’re gentle, social dogs who love people. Our happy, cheerful dispositions are guaranteed to boost your mood and make you smile. We can even be good therapy dogs because of the comfort we provide. And I’m no exception to this profile! I really looked like a mess when my foster mom first rescued me! Oh my goodness – I weighed only 10 pounds! You could see every bone on my vertebrae, plus I had no hair on my back. My eyes were practically glued shut with “goop” from an infection; I also had an ear infection; and my mouth was a mess from neglected preventative dentistry. Thank heavens Foster Mom and the vet have transformed me into a new man! With a steady diet of nutritious food, I’ve gained 2.5 pounds, I’m filling out nicely, and my fur is growing back! I’m eating a soft diet that’s appropriate after all of the diseased teeth (that hadn’t already fallen out) have been pulled. I look and feel so much better! And the silver lining about having no teeth is that I don't need any future dental cleanings! Medications have cleared up my original eye and ear infections. The vet also diagnosed that I have a condition called “dry eye,” which means that I don’t produce tears like I should. So Foster Mom puts drops in my eyes twice a day and cleans out any “goop” once to twice a day Thanks to the hair around my eyes being clipped, Foster Mom can clean out my eyes easier. I have cataracts in both eyes so I have very limited visibility and bump into things, but get around once I've learned my way! I generally move slow so I don’t hurt myself ! Even though I sleep a good portion of the day, I am quite aware of sounds and scents. I will sound the alarm at unfamiliar noises. I will track Foster Mom down if she has moved from where I left her using my superior olfactory senses. My ideal home would be one that has a doggie door to a small fenced back yard and someone to keep me company. I’m so grateful for all the love and attention that I’m getting! In return, I snuggle and cuddle like you wouldn’t believe! I’ve learned how to use the doggie door, and I’m now crate-trained. If you’re looking for a cozy lap dog and can look past my limitations, I’d really like to be your dog! Half of my life is still ahead of me, so let’s spend it together! My heart has so much love to give, all that’s missing is YOU! HOPE ID D22-1129-0031 Sammy's $200 adoption fee includes spay/neuter, basic vaccines, microchip and registration, testing for heartworms, negative fecal test, and preventative treatment for heartworms and fleas.

Story

Meet Sir Wagglesworth – The Little Poodle and sweet senior with a Heart of Gold This is Sir Wagglesworth—a true survivor and a gentle soul who’s been through more than most could ever imagine, but still, he’s here, shining brighter than ever. Found wandering the streets, less than 5 pounds, starving, and battling flea-infested fur that left him with painful skin conditions, Sir Wagglesworth could have given up. But he didn’t. Instead, he kept his spirit alive. His tiny frame might have been weak, but his heart? Unbreakable. Now, after a little TLC, Sir Wagglesworth is thriving, and that spunky, lovable personality of his is shining through every single day. He may be small, but his love is larger than life. This pint-sized baby loves nothing more than to be held, cuddled, and lavished with affection. He’ll snuggle into your arms like the tiny teddy bear he is, and in return, he’ll give you the kind of love only a dog with a heart this big can offer. Despite everything he’s been through, Sir Wagglesworth has nothing but love to give. His eyes speak of a gentle spirit that’s only grown stronger from the hardships he’s overcome. He’s still working on regrowing his fur and getting back to his full health, but every day is a new step forward for this little warrior. Sir Wagglesworth may be small in size, but he’s big in heart—and he’s looking for a family who will appreciate every tiny, lovable part of him. If you’re looking for a sweet, cuddly companion with a personality that sparkles despite it all, Sir Wagglesworth is your guy. Complete an application to meet this little miracle today. He’s ready to find his forever home, and maybe, just maybe, that’s with you! ##2495157##
