Story
Happy, loyal and active Bonded pair of Maltipoos looking for a Maltipoo experienced family. Please contact us to submit an application directly at Kzyrnr17@yahoo.com or info@dogdiggityrescue.com or https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HTX/Dog Laverne and Shirley are 18 mos to 2 yrs old 11 to 15 lb Maltipoos. Someone dumped this bonded pair of gals severely matted and full of fleas. They are very happy now that they have been groomed. They are in a foster home with another foo foo dog. They are kinda shy and timid at first but bond to people. They are crate trained and leash trained. They use a doggie door to go into back yard that is securely fenced. They love hanging out with people and on the furniture. This bonded pair will require a securely fenced yard and frequent grooming. San Antonio area has over 800,000 homeless pets. We save homeless and abandoned dogs and find them loving forever homes in other areas, where pet homelessness is not epidemic. All of our pets are located here, in San Antonio, and we partner with rescues to provide transportation for our pets to their new homes. Our adoption fee includes vet care (vaccinations, spay/neuter, microchipping, etc), as well as transportation and health certificate. Please contact us to ask about our adoption process and our adoption fees.

Story
Button is the definition of tiny but mighty. At just around 1 lb, this little Maltese/Pekingese mix is impossibly small, ridiculously cute, and full of happy puppy energy. He’s playful, affectionate, friendly, and always excited to be part of whatever is happening around him. Button was rescued from an unsafe situation where his mom and 5 siblings were tragically run over by cars after being allowed to roam loose near the road. Sadly, only 3 puppies survived from the litter. Despite that heartbreaking start, Button is a joyful little puppy who absolutely loves people and life. He has a very slight underbite that somehow only makes him even cuter. Because of his tiny size and young age, Button will not be neutered prior to adoption. Adopters will be required to provide proof of neuter in 2027 once he is fully grown and medically ready. Good fit: someone looking for a tiny companion puppy who wants affection, attention, playtime, and a safe indoor life. Adoption process: All adoptions are completed prior to transport. Dogs are picked up at designated transport locations. If an adoption doesn’t work out (rare, but life happens), we always take our dogs back. Location: Oklahoma (available to approved out-of-state adopters via transport) Health: Age-appropriate vetting, vaccinated, microchipped Adoption fee: $550 (includes transport + vetting) Bonus: Each adoption includes a 30-minute phone consultation with a professional trainer Transport routes: WA, OR, ID, MT, UT, WY, CO, MN, WI, IA, IL, IN, OH, PA, MD, NY, NJ, VT Think you might be a good fit?

Story
Snowball - puppy, female, small, Maltese mix Meet Snowball — a tiny 4-month-old female Maltese puppy with a huge personality packed into one fluffy tiny body (currently weighs 2.5 pounds)! This adorable girl is full of puppy energy, curiosity, and charm, and she’s ready to find a family that can keep up with her fun-loving spirit. Snowball loves toys, zoomies, cuddles, and exploring the world one tiny pawstep at a time. Because she’s so small, she’ll need a safe and secure environment where she can play, learn, and grow without too many big-dog or big-kid hazards around her. Like any puppy, Snowball is still learning all the important puppy basics and will need patience, consistency, and lots of love as she continues her training. In return, she promises endless entertainment, sweet snuggles, and a best friend who will make you smile every single day. Snowball is current on her puppy vaccines and her spay will be covered by Tiny Paws Small Dog Rescue once she turns 16 weeks old. If you would like to meet this sweet gal, please fill out an application at tinypawssmalldogrescue.org or contact Sara at 224-600-2547.

Story
Sophie - 4 years old, small, maltese Momma Sophie is a sweet 4-year-old Maltese with a gentle heart and a love for the quiet life. This little lady is affectionate, loyal, and happiest when curled up beside her favorite person soaking in all the love and attention. Sophie is looking for a calm, peaceful home where she can truly relax and feel safe. Loud environments and lots of chaos aren’t really her style — she’d much rather enjoy cozy blankets, sunny windows, walks, and quiet evenings with her humans. She has a soft, loving personality and forms strong bonds with the people she trusts. Once she settles in, becomes the ultimate little companion, always nearby with her sweet eyes and calm presence. If you’re searching for a gentle best friend who will bring warmth, comfort, and unconditional love into your home, Sophie may just be your perfect match. Sophie has been spayed and is now current on her vaccines. She is being fostered in Woodstock, IL and has an adoption fee of $600. To meet this sweet gal, please fill out an application at Tinypawssmalldogrescue.org or contact Sara at 224-600-2547.

Check out our Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok for more pictures & videos of our adoptable dogs! To sponsor my trip to WI, go to  www.tailwaggers911.com  for more info!   **I am able to go home to my forever family right from transport!! You get a 5 day trial with me in your home. Put in your application soon!*** Please help me get out! I am currently in a place where there are lots of unwanted dogs and not all of us here get the chance I might have to leave! But in order to help me out of here to catch the ride to WI on June 5th and arrive on June 6th, I need *both* a sponsor, and a WI foster home *or* a WI adopter! I have a place for now, but I can't stay here forever and I am worried. The rescue has put a hold on me to save my spot on the trip up north to WI, but now they need YOUR help to get me there - don't wait!!! Updated: 5/19/26 Dog Name: Sadie Sex: Female Estimated Breed: Maltese Mix Approximate Age: 4 years Approximate Weight: 8-10 lbs Spay/Neuter Status: Spayed Description: Sadie and Rocky were surrendered after their family’s landlord made them give them up. They were very loved and we hope to give them a new forever home. These babies are sweet and smart and very cuddly. They are both already housebroken and crate trained! They love sleeping on the bed, they love to play and nap and follow their people around the home!    Adoption Fee: $550We are a Wisconsin state licensed dog rescue -WI# 402433   ***We do not have a central adoption center at this time. All our dogs are in private foster homes within WI. At this time, we only place our dogs in areas of WI. The breed of our dogs is our best guess with the help of our veterinarians. Our Weight Classes are as follows: 0- 25lbs - Small 26- 45lbs - Medium 46-89 - Large 90+ X-large If you are adopting an adult dog, which we consider 6 months of age or older, your adoption fee includes the following: Spay/Neuter, Rabies and Distemper shots, dewormed, flea & tick preventative, heartworm tested and microchipped. If you are adopting a dog younger than 6 months of age, the dog will be up to date on the shots as per the dogs age. The dog will be dewormed, flea/tick preventative and microchipped. We only spay/neuter our dogs once they're at least 6 months old. If you decide to adopt a younger dog than 6 months, they will need to be spayed/neutered by your veterinarian when they are between 6 to 8 months old. Proof that the spay/neuter has been completed will need to be submitted to Tailwaggers911. Once proof of the spay/neuter has been received, we will refund $100 of your adoption fee via Venmo, PayPal or have a check in the mail within 15 days. Once you are approved with our rescue, you can meet any one of our dogs within the fosters home. If you are interested in the dog you met, you can take the dog home under our mandatory foster to adopt program. You receive 5 days to see if the dog is the right fit for your home. If it is, we will conduct the home visit and finalize adoption. If it is not, it is returned to the foster. We are happy to find you another dog that meets your needs in your home. If a dog is listed as ADOPTION IN PROCESS, a family has met the dog and planning on adopting the dog after the home visit has been conducted. We always suggest sending in an application for a dog because there are times where the dogs are given back to us under the foster to adopt program. There are many reasons dogs are returned but normally it just was not the right fit for all.Please go to WWW.TAILWAGGERS911.COM under HOW TO ADOPT . We have an online application that is very easy to fill out. June 8, 2026, 8:33 am
