Story
Peter was adopted 5 years ago from the humane society by husband and i. they told us he was great with kids but they didnt specify what age. It wasnt an issue at the time because we were not planning on having kids soon. hes great, super playful, friendly with other dogs, house trained, among others. We didnt start having until our oldest started walking. Peter did not take to him, we’ve managed to keep them apart but now we have a second child and its gonna be hard to keep the two keeps separate from the dog. we love peter and would love to keep him. but it doesnt work with the young kiddos and we’ve try everything. hopefully he is able to go to a loving home and we are able to keep in touch with him

Story
Toodles is a bright, happy, and friendly boy. He is energetic and enjoys people time, as well as romping in the yard and going for walks. He is very appreciative of all the attention and love he receives. Toodles is very good one on one with people, but can be overwhelmed and defensive if too many people come to him at once. Also, he gets along with most dogs, but occasionally he does not.             Toodles is a gorgeous Maltese, about 4 1/2-5 years old, and 15-16 pounds. Because of his bit of a quarky side, he needs people who can show him patience, compassion, and understanding. He would be best as the only dog in his new home or with one other nice dog we would have to try him with.  It would also be best for him to have just one new parent, but not mandatory. Toodles has had a rough life so far, but certainly deserves a chance at a new, loving, forever family. If you believe you can give him that chance, please put in an application today. Please watch the video at the end of the photos to see Toodles enjoying his people time and showing off his zest for life.March 10, 2025, 4:07 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://ufarescue.org/adoption-application Maya is the sweetest little Maltese that is so scared to be in the rescue. This girl is so affectionate. She loves to be held and enjoys getting her daily belly rubs. Maya does well on a leash and loves to go for walks. Maya is currently pregnant and in desperate need of a foster to have her litter in a quiet home without the chaos of a shelter. Please consider fostering to adopt this sweet girl. No dog should have to have to go through the stress of having a litter in a loud noisy shelter. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.

Story
Snowy is a loving, fun and energetic boy. He is a purebreed Maltese that my former tenant paid over $5,000 for from a pet store. When she left my house she asked me to take him in for a few weeks, which has turned into a few months and now has decided she doesnt want him back. I have three large dogs (Pit Bulls) that have been a group pack for years and Snowy doesnt fit into their pack due to his delicate size, he weighs only 7 lbs, my Pitties weigh 60 lbs each. Snowy barks at everything and instigates them, not realizing they could kill him with one little bite. I worry for Snowys safety as he is an overly confident guy! After several months, I have decided (with a heavy heart and some tearful nights of pondering this idea) that it would be best if he were rehomed before something unfortunate happens. He is spunky and loves to chew and destroy toys and yaps a lot. He needs regular grooming and bathing so his hair doesnt mat; you need to budget for his care and needs.
