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, along with his brother Cooper, listed below. Sprout is shy when you meet him, which can lead to him being overlooked by many adopters. We know it's due to fear. For this reason, we have him also listed under our Safe Haven Sanctuary, where he will always be safe if he is never adopted. ​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. Sprout had a complete dental where most of his teeth were removed. He also had blood work, and he's in excellent health. We look forward to hearing from you! NOTE: Benny and Cooper are brothers, so we are adopting them together with a discounted adoption fee Apply here: https://fs8.formsite.com/Caringhearts/form1/index

Story
Meet Cooper (5-6 years old) ​Cooper is the sweetest dog. He LOVES people and enjoys cuddling with his people more than anything. He is very demanding when it comes to getting attention, so keep this in mind if you have other dogs, because his happy place is on your lap. Cooper is used to going out for a potty break in a fenced back yard. He is so smart, so we think he will learn to walk on a leash over time. Cooper is a Maltese who weights around 8 pounds. He came from a puppy mill. He was neutered and had a complete dental, losing seven teeth. Cooper is so sweet he could be a therapy dog. He loves anyone he meets and will immediately crawl on your guest's lap for kisses.   Apply here: https://fs8.formsite.com/Caringhearts/form1/index

Story
Sweet Star came to CHR a year ago in rough condition at the age of 5 or 6 years old.  She lived in a puppy mill, where she was bred to produce puppies for sale. She lived in a small shed with access to the outdoors through a doggie door. Recently, Star was diagnosed with a torn cruciate, so on 6/19 she will have orthopedic surgery to repair the cruciate tear. We’re keeping Star in our Safe Haven Sanctuary while she recovers, but we are still looking for her forever home if the fit is good for you and her.  Star’s foster mom describes her as a beam of sunshine. She’s spunky and full of love and gentleness, and she kisses humans and dogs alike. She enjoys walking through a fenced yard to find just the right spot to eliminate.  We’re asking her to go to a home with a fenced yard. Star loves to nap by your side. She is like a sponge, absorbing your hugs and kisses daily.  One of the biggest challenges with Star is that she will sometimes(1-2 times a week) eliminates on top of dog beds. This could be a marking behavior from being in the puppy mill. Her foster mom picks up the beds before feeding to make sure there are no triggers, like after eating, when she may go eliminate on them or she immediately lets her out for a potty break after eating. Star is also let out every 3 hours during the day for a potty break. At night, she does well without accidents, but she may have accidents for the first few months in any house she goes to, so we recommend diapers for this cutie at night during the beginning of her stay with you. Star does not enjoy being crated, and it's not recommended for a puppy mill survivor.. If you would like to meet Star, please fill out her application here:https://fs8.formsite.com/Caringhearts/form1/index

Foster Homes Needed! Do you have time and room in your life for a foster dog? http://www.muttloverescue.org/foster.html *****************   Matty is an 8 month old, 6lb Maltipoo that was given up by his owner due to personal issues.  He is not neutered yet, but Mutt Love will be taking care of that soon.  He is playful, affectionate, learning to walk on a leash and potty outside and gets along with the other dogs in his foster home.  He does have some separation anxiety and wants to have his human within eyesight, but he travels very well and loves going with his fosters either on his leash or in his little carry sling.  He loves to sleep with his humans at night, especially snuggled up in bed with them. He also enjoys curling up next to them to watch TV or sit out on the porch.  He loves his toys and his morning zoomies too!
