Story
Sailor is such a sweet little girl and perfect in every way. She is still quite scared and still shivers sometimes, but she is also brave and curious. In the beginning she finally drank some water and started to eat a few bites of soft food. She's was still trying to process this huge change in her life and was kind of frozen. She would stay still in one spot until she was moved. She didn't get up to pee, drink water or do anything. Day, she is eating more food and she is exposing her new environment. She even barked for the first time! She has been going potty outside and even to explore outside, sniffing everything. She had a play date with two Maltese dogs. She did get up to check them out and was friendly. Every day she takes small steps eating more food, drinking water, relieving herself and exploring. He curiosity is showing more every day. She is putting lots of energy into trying new things and becoming less shy. -----

A Quick but Important Note to All Adopters:
Please remember that none of our dogs arrive fully trained. Most come from tough or uncertain beginnings and may have never lived in a home or known basic routines. That means:

✧ They are not potty trained on arrival. Most dogs regress in potty training when moving to a new environment.

✧ They may lack basic manners (like leash walking or appropriate chewing).

✧ They’re learning, growing, and doing their best—but they will need patience, structure, and compassion to succeed.

The majority of these pups have lived in the confinement of a cage or kennel run for most - if not all - of their lives. Because of this, we strongly discourage the use of crates for anything other than vehicle transport. They deserve the chance to decompress and learn what true freedom and comfort feel like.

Our amazing foster homes work hard to start these dogs on the right path, but they are rescues, not finished products. These dogs need time, consistency, and a loving home willing to meet them where they are.

Also, breed designations are our best guesses based on appearance and behavior. We can't guarantee breed, size, adult weight, or coat type.

Story
Milkshake is a Maltese puppy. She is starting to settle in. She is a curious but timid girl. She bark when scared of loud noises or when someone enters the room but she settles quickly. She loves being with another little dog, but doesn’t mind being on her own for short periods. She is adventurous and somewhat vocal. She prefers staying in her crate and sleeps happily snuggled in there alone or with another dog. She sleeps 8 hours at night and barks when she’s ready to get up. She are uses potty pads consistently but not perfectly. She will likely learn to use the great outdoors when given the opportunity! She is used to being with another dog and may miss that at first anyway. She does not have experience with cats or children yet, but she is pretty easy going if only a little shy with new experiences. -----

Story
Bliss is a Maltese/Shih Tzu puppy. She is a very curious and sweet girl. She loves to watch you and make eye contact with you. She is shy at first, but opens up very quickly. She loves to greet and get your attention and affection. She is brave and quick to explore and try new things. She loves to play. She sleeps in the bed or on the floor. She is good about using the potty pads, but has occasional accident if she’s not in her special area in the house. She is just getting started with relieving herself outdoors. She gets excited when you are filling her food and water bowls. She will start drinking and eating as you are refilling. She is okay to share her bowls or have her own bowls. She is fine with pets and encouragement as she eats and drinks. She is good with other dogs an good with children. She is fine riding in a car Bliss is the sweetest. She loves attention and would do best in a home with another friend (adult, dog, or kids) to keep her company. She is high energy, but can be calm as well. She can entertain herself but prefers to be around others. She will play with you and fall asleep in your arms or lap. -----
