Story
At just 3 months old, Lumi is already mastering the art of stealing hearts. This fluffy little white Maltese puppy is equal parts playful, affectionate, and irresistibly sweet, the kind of companion who will happily bounce from a game of tug-of-war straight into your lap for cuddles. Lumi absolutely adores her littermate and mama and thrives around other small dogs. She loves chasing her canine friends around the house, turning every hallway into her own tiny racetrack before proudly settling down with one of her favorite chewies. If you’re searching for a playful puppy with a social personality and lots of love to give, Lumi is ready to keep life fun and full of laughter. While she has plenty of puppy energy, Lumi also has a gentle, affectionate side that shines through in quiet moments. She enjoys being close to her people and has the kind of loving temperament that makes you instantly fall for her. Her foster family describes her as sweet and affectionate, and it’s easy to see why. Lumi would likely do best in a home ready for all the joy and responsibility that comes with raising a young puppy. She would especially love a home with another friendly small dog to play with and learn from. Her experience with cats and children is currently unknown. If you’re ready to add a loving, playful, and adorable Maltese puppy to your life, Lumi may be the perfect match. Apply to adopt Lumi and see just how quickly this little girl can brighten your days.

Story
Ekko & Mimi's Story Ekko (black and tan, male, 15 lbs) and Mimi (tan & white, female, 11 lbs) are an adorable bonded pair looking for a home where they can stay together forever! These sweet pups are house trained, crate trained, and have an easygoing, medium energy level that makes them a great fit for many different homes. They absolutely love people and enjoy playing with kids of all ages. Friendly and social, they are not fearful or reactive and have wonderfully happy personalities. Their favorite pastime is romping around the backyard together and playing with their small stuffed toys before settling in for some relaxation time. Ekko and Mimi are easy to walk on leash and could do well in an apartment or home environment as long as they get their daily exercise and playtime. They’re relatively quiet overall, though they may bark a little when they see activity outside the fence — but once outside, they are calm and content explorers. Like many playful dogs, they do enjoy chasing cats, so a cat-free home would be best for this duo. If you’re looking for two loving companions who already adore each other and are ready to bring double the joy into your life, Ekko and Mimi may be the perfect match! Ekko and Mimi are both about 8-10 yrs old. They are currently being fostered in Houston, TX and are available locally or out of state to the Northeast. If adopted out of state, they would come to their new home via professional transport. Email info@joyrides.org to request an application!
