Story
JoJo (Chewie) was a code red and on his last day at a local shelter. He was very fearful, but is now happy and thriving in his new foster home. JoJo has a sweet temperament & gets along with small dogs. He loves his stuffed toys & keeps them close. He makes sure they surround him at times. He is a Toy Hoarder. He also loves to snuggle & is a great sleeping partner. He enjoys a quick outside zoomie, but not a big outdoorsman. Jojo is not a yard lounger. He is a full time indoor pup. He will probably do best as an only dog. He is very attached to his foster Mom & would prefer not sharing her with other pups. He likes to be the center of your attention. He is working on potty training & catching on quickly. He will make someone a wonderful loving companion.    ##2436874##

Story
Meet Clover who is a six year old Maltese.  Someone dumped him under a slab of concrete at an elementary school in Dallas. His claws were overgrown and he was in bad shape.  He was super scared of people. He is super bonded to his owners but Clover does not do well with children or other dogs.  He is very loved and this is super hard on the family. . He’s very loving toward them.. He resourse guards the Mom and doesn't want the child around her Mom. . He is in excellent health and sure is adorable!   He just had a check up and full blood work panel due to having a sentive stomach. He does require good quality dog food, and doesn’t eat much. He’s potty trained, and extremely loving but will take love and patience for him to get to know you and trust you.  He weighs 13 lbs.  He loves to follow his Mom around and likes for her to go outside with him.  He is super affectionate with them as well.

Story
We bought him 13 years ago for a Christmas gift, a Maltese Yorki mix with white hair. We are looking for someone who will love him and allow him to be free. We have a really busy household and we don’t have the correct available time to take care of him. He has a lot of energy at all times of the day and often times he barks at night, he listens well or when he wants to.

Story
Lola was my grandmother's dog from the time she was a puppy until my grandmother passed away. Lola came to me after and I have taken care of her since. Well now I am moving and there is a pet limit in the new house, I already have 2 pets of my own and they have to come first. Lola will be 10 years old on 11/11/25 and she does well with dogs, cats and kids. She LOVES affection whether it's playing or just hanging around the house, she will just go with the vibe. She is house trained, crate trained and does great with the groomer. When my grandmother adopted her, they said she was a Malti-Poo and she weighs around 25 lbs. I really want her to find a home and family that will care for and love her for the rest of her life!
