Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Moe! Moe is a beautiful little white Maltipoo with a gentle spirit and a heart ready to bond with the right family. Born around March 11, 2025, this sweet boy weighs 10.8 pounds, making him the perfect size for lap snuggles and companionship. Moe came from a hoarding situation where he was one of 29 dogs, so the big world can feel a little overwhelming at first. Because of this, he may take a few minutes to warm up to new people. But once you approach him calmly and give him a few gentle pets, you can almost see the moment he relaxes—then he quickly becomes your loyal little friend. He gets along great with other dogs and truly enjoys their company. He will need to go to a home with another companion dog to help him feel comfortable and confident. Moe’s best friend here is Mitchell, and they would love to be adopted together. With a patient and loving family who will give him time to settle in, he will blossom into a devoted and affectionate companion. Moe is still learning some of the basics, including walking on a leash, but with consistency and kindness he will catch on quickly. If you’re looking for a sweet pup who just needs a little patience to shine, Moe may be the perfect match for Adoption Fee: $400 Apply to adopt Moe: www.adoggie4you.org Give this gentle boy the loving home he’s been waiting for! This dog is currently in Texas; however, it can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington KY or all along the East Coast. If transported, there is an additional transport fee of $250. We do not transport to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to their regulations.

Story
Meet this sweet girl! 🐾 She is a 10-year-old Toy Poodle who celebrated her birthday on October 1st. I have had her since she was just a couple of months old, so she's been a special part of my life for nearly 10 years. This is an incredibly difficult decision, and finding the right home for her is very important to me. She is a playful, curious, and loving companion with plenty of energy for a senior dog. She loves playing with her favorite Lamb Chop toys, going on walks, exploring outside, and, of course, cuddling with her person. She is also very vocal and can bark quite a bit, especially when excited or wanting attention but is easy to distract/comfort. She is very attached to her people and does experience some separation anxiety, so she would do best with someone who can give her patience, reassurance, and lots of love. I am looking for a caring home where she can be spoiled, active, and loved for the rest of her life.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Comet. A Good Samaritan stepped in after realizing that a large group of adult dogs and puppies living in a home, who had too many dogs, had become seriously ill with parvovirus. The homeowners agreed to surrender the dogs to us so they could finally receive the care they desperately needed. Comet arrived with his sister, at only 10 weeks old, and both puppies were extremely sick. They were immediately taken to our vet for treatment, but sadly, despite everyone’s best efforts, Comet’s sister passed away the following morning.  Somehow, sweet little Comet fought his way through parvo and is now healthy, happy, and ready to find the loving home he has always deserved.  Comet is a Shih Tzu/Maltese mix who is nothing but LOVE. He has all the typical puppy energy and playfulness you would expect from a young pup, but underneath all that puppy fun is a sweet little guy who has already been through far more than any puppy should. Because of Comet’s breed mix, his new family will need to be committed to consistent grooming and regular brushing to keep his coat healthy, comfortable, and mat-free. This is an important part of caring for a Shih Tzu/Maltese mix and should be considered before applying. He is also hypoallergenic (don't shed).  Comet is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and current on heartworm, flea, and tick prevention. His adoption fee is $500. Apply at www.adoggie4you.org Comet is currently in Texas, but he can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington, KY, or locations along the East Coast. Transport is an additional $250. Please note: We do not transport to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to their regulations.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 8, 2026, 9:17 am
