Story
Meet Angel 🤍 Angel is a 3-year-old Maltese mix who has done an amazing job raising her puppies, and now that all six of her babies have been adopted, it’s finally her turn to be loved. This gentle girl is calm, sweet, and ready to leave mom mode behind. Angel would thrive in a quiet, loving home where she can relax, feel safe, and enjoy being someone’s special companion. She loves being close to her person and is happiest when she’s cuddled up by your side or nearby, soaking in all the affection she’s missed. Angel is looking for a soft place to land, a cozy bed, and a heart that’s ready to give her the love she deserves. If you’re searching for a loyal, comforting companion with a tender soul, Angel may be your perfect match. Local & Nationwide Adoptions Welcome Local adopters are always welcome and encouraged!

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 Willow! Breed: MalteseGender: FemaleSize: SmallGood with: People who can provide specialized care Willow is a sweet little soul who would absolutely crawl into your pocket and stay there forever if she could! This tiny Maltese girl is the definition of a velcro dog—she'll be your permanent shadow, following you from room to room and soaking up every second of your attention. Willow is happy, cuddly, and completely devoted to her people. She thrives on love and physical closeness, making her the ultimate companion for someone who wants a constant snuggle buddy by their side. Important: Willow is immunocompromised and requires a special home that can accommodate her medical needs. She'll need an adopter who understands the commitment involved in caring for a dog with health challenges and can provide the extra attention, monitoring, and veterinary care she requires. In return, you'll get a devoted little companion who will love you with her whole heart. Willow is ready to find someone who will cherish her just as much as she'll cherish them! Ready to welcome Willow into your life? Contact us to meet this wonderful girl! Disclaimer: The information in this profile is based on observations made while this dog has been in our shelter environment. We do our best to describe each dog accurately; however, behavior and needs may change in a new home, routine, or environment. Our dogs are not free-roaming in homes. "Potty trained" indicates reliable crate training, not confirmed free-roam house training. Accidents may occur during the transition to a new home, and additional training should be expected. All dogs have been examined by our veterinarian, are spayed or neutered, and are up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations at the time of adoption. While we provide all known medical information, we cannot guarantee future health or the absence of underlying conditions. ALL adoptions require a completed application, vet check, and final contract. The application to adopt can be found at www.happyfacespetranch.org Once your application has been approved, a representative will be in touch to set up a meet and greet. We select the best applicant for each dog based on the dog's individual needs. ##2531341##

Meet Lightning! This 3-year-old, 12-pound Maltese mix is fast, fun, and all about fetch. If Air Bud had a little sister, it would be Lightning—hands down. She lives for a good game of ball and will happily bring it back to you over and over (and over!) again, as long as you’re willing to keep throwing. Lightning is as sweet as she is sporty, with a friendly personality that makes her a joy to be around. She’s looking for a forever family who can match her energy and give her the playtime she craves, along with all the love she deserves. If you’re searching for a fun, active little companion who will keep you smiling and moving, Lightning is ready to light up your life! ##2461591##
