Story
Meet Sprout, 5-6 years old This sweet little Maltese weighs around 6 pounds and is super sweet. Sprout was rescued from a puppy mill with his friend Cooper. He's a little bit shy for the first few minutes after meeting you but warms up when a guest gives him a yummy treat. Sprout is used to a secure, fenced yard, so CHR is asking that he go to a home with one. Since his rescue, he is LOVING life! He loves to run around the yard playing and enjoys climbing up to kiss you on your cheek. This little munchkin is used to being around other small dogs in the puppy mill, so we feel he would do best in a household with another small dog. We look forward to hearing from you! NOTE: Sprout and Cooper are friends, so CHR will reduce the adoption fee by 50% for adopting both boys. Apply here: https://fs8.formsite.com/Caringhearts/form1/index

Story
Meet Cooper (6 years old) Cooper is the sweetest dog. He LOVES people and enjoys cuddling more than anything. His happy place is on your lap. He loves everyone he meets and will immediately crawl on laps and give kisses. Cooper is used to going out for a potty break in a fenced back yard. He is not leash trained, but he is so smart we think he will learn to quickly. This boy is an absolute gem and will make someone very happy! Cooper is neutered, has had a dental, and is up to date on all vaccines. Apply here: https://fs8.formsite.com/Caringhearts/form1/index

Story
A favorite among our volunteers, Star is known for her affectionate and sweet nature and her spunky playfulness—a perfect Maltese princess. Star’s foster mom describes her as a “beam of sunshine” who is full of love and gentleness. She loves lap time and gives lots of kisses and enjoys being kissed and fussed over by her humans. She especially likes to sleep or nap with her people. Star gets along well with all the dogs in her foster home and has never met a person or dog she doesn’t like. Star is around 6-7 years old and weighs around 10 pounds. She enjoys spending time in a fenced yard looking for just the right spot to eliminate. As she is okay with going on walks, we would prefer for her to go to a home with a fenced yard just because it's what she is used to. here:https://fs8.formsite.com/Caringhearts/form1/index

Story
Current Location: Manchester, MD Hi, I'm Larry — a petite 7-year-old white Maltese ready for my forever home! 🐕 At just 10 pounds, I'm the perfect lap-sized companion, already neutered and set to join your family. I do great with other dogs, so if you've got a furry friend at home, we'll get along just fine! Come meet me and discover why this little guy has so much love to give. 💕 This dog tested positive for heartworm disease before arriving to the rescue. Heartworm disease is transmitted to a dog through a bite from an infected mosquito producing a positive test in six months. OPH will treat the dog and provide two weeks of recovery time prior to adoption. Potential adopters will receive detailed information on the disease and their role in completing the recovery process from OPH’s heartworm coordinator. With monthly preventatives, the disease is completely preventable.
