Story
Meet Benny, a sweet little Maltese who is looking for his forever home! This adorable little boy is super affectionate and loving, always ready to cover you in kisses. With his tiny frame of only 8 pounds, he is a bundle of energy and joy, bringing life to wherever he goes. Benny is estimated to be 5-6 years old, and despite his size, he has a big personality and an even bigger heart. Benny loves nothing more than running and playing in a yard, and he especially enjoys climbing up for some cuddles and kisses. He's used to being around other small dogs, so a home with a furry sibling could be ideal for this little guy. Although he may be a little shy at first with new people, once he warms up, he's a total cuddle bug who adores attention. Benny recently had a dental procedure and is now feeling better than ever! His blood work shows he's in excellent health, so he's ready to take on the world and find his forever family. If you're looking for a loyal companion to add some sunshine to your life, Benny could be the perfect match. He promises to bring laughter and love to his new home and is eager to find his place in the world. Could you be the one to show him what a loving family is all about https://fs8.formsite.com/Caringhearts/form1/index

Story
Meet Star! This spunky little dog was named Star because she sparkles with light. She will gleefully run up to you for attention even if she doesn’t know you. She’s the first to jump on your lap to kiss you on your cheek. You will often see her dancing on the sofa or in the house, full of happiness. Star is around 6 years old and weighs around 9 pounds. She is not accustomed to being on a leash, so a fenced yard is essential. She goes out for a potty break every few hours, like most small dogs. Star is very gentle and has never growled even once. She is perfect when being groomed and is very easy to care for. She does great around other dogs. Star had a dental and is current on vaccines and heartworm testing. If you would like to meet Star, please fill out her application here:https://fs8.formsite.com/Caringhearts/form1/index

Story
Current Location: Chester, VA Hi, I’m Ann! I’m an 8 pound Maltese with a soft heart and a quiet spirit. I’m around 6 years old, so I’m past all that puppy chaos and just looking for a calm, cozy place to call home. I can be pretty shy when it comes to people. New things can feel a little scary for me, so I’ll need someone patient who will give me time and space while I learn that I’m safe. Other dogs make me feel so much better and help me understand how to be brave. If you have a friendly, confident pup at home, I would love that! I feel happiest when I have a doggy friend by my side. I also have a special little gummy smile because I don’t have any teeth left. It just means I need soft food, which I eat like a champ. I think it makes me extra cute. I might not be the kind of girl who jumps into your lap on day one, but if you give me time, I will show you just how special I am. Watching me grow more confident and comfortable will be the best feeling. I’m looking for my forever family! Is that with you? If so please click “apply for adoption” or submit an application through the Adopt tab. Let’s get our family started!

Story
NO LONGER ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS! Meet Nilla! This sweet Maltese girl has been a loved and well-cared-for family dog. Her owner made the difficult decision to rehome her after a significant change in life circumstances. Nilla’s owner is a single mom and a federal employee who had a flexible schedule when she first adopted her. With recent changes requiring a daily commute downtown, her workday has increased by nearly three hours. By the time she gets home, she’s focused on her kids and understandably exhausted, and she feels Nilla wasn’t getting the time and engagement she deserves. She’s also traveling more frequently, which has meant longer boarding stays, very different from the life Nilla was used to. Nilla is still a young, active girl who thrives on companionship and interaction. She loves her walks, likes meeting other dogs, and enjoys being part of her humans’ daily life. She is happiest curled up right next to you. She’s incredibly affectionate and would always choose to nap curled up with you on the couch or sit on your lap while you work.  She’s very friendly with people and has great dog social skills. She does well at doggy daycare and has transitioned easily into her current foster home, where she lives with three other dogs. She enjoys playtime but is respectful of dogs who prefer their space. Nilla is housetrained, crate-trained, and knows basic commands like “sit” and “come”—unless she has one of her beloved mini tennis balls, in which case she might decide to keep it to herself! She loves squeaky balls, enjoys playing fetch (even indoors), and has a funny habit of hiding her toys in shoes…Don’t worry, she doesn’t chew them! This pretty, fluffy girl is a very happy pup with a little sass. She loves running in the yard (especially on a long leash) and even enjoys the snow. Watching her zoom around is pure joy. She also has an adorable “singing” howl that will make you smile. Overall, Nilla would thrive in a home with an owner who is looking for a bestie. A work-from-home or more flexible schedule would be ideal for this loving, social girl. Apply today!   BREED ESTIMATE:  Maltese GENDER: Female  APPROXIMATE WEIGHT: 14 lbs APPROXIMATE AGE: ~  3.5 years old COAT TYPE: Soft, lowshed coat that needs regular grooming ADOPTION FEE: $425 OTHER INFO: utd on shots/spayed/microchipped LOCATION:  Vienna, VA   FOR MORE INFO OR TO ADOPT: Please go to https://adopt.worthydog.org and complete the application. You can also help save dogs like this one by becoming a foster, providing a rescue dog with a temporary home and giving them the love and care they need until they are permanently adopted. Every person who fosters is directly responsible for saving the life of a dog, because we can only save as many dogs as we have foster families available to welcome them into their homes. If you think you might be interested in becoming a foster and want to learn more, please go to https://foster.worthydog.org and fill out an application. Worthy Dog Rescue is an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue that primarily adopts to families in the DC Metro area. March 29, 2026, 6:18 pm
