Story
Hi, my name is Uric. I am a very laid-back 6 year old Maltese/poodle mix. I’m looking for someone that wants to love on me and help me to feel secure. I would do well in an apartment or a home. If there are kids, I need them to be older, and respectful of me, as I am such a little guy (only 5 lbs). I’m doing pretty well with my potty training. I go potty outside, when asked to. But I’m not so good at running up to someone and reminding them. I’m not a fan of a crate at night…I really love sleeping in the big bed with foster mom. But my very favorite thing to do is follow foster mom around and snuggle up with her, wherever she goes! I would make a wonderful addition to any kind of family. I am up to date on all my vaccinations, had a negative heartworm test and am on monthly preventative. I’m also neutered, had a dental, and microchipped. My adoption fee is $350.00. If you are interested in adopting me after reading my bio, please fill out an application on AAP’s website.

Story
Blanche Maltese 5yo/ DOB 04/22/19 Approx 10lbs Spayed/Microchipped UTD on vaccinations Current on flea & heartworm prevention Please read the bio in its ENTIRETY. If you feel your family is a perfect match, please send an email to gateway4paws@gmail.com for additional information. Only complete & qualified applications will be considered/contacted. We do not allow shipping & do not transport. You must live within 350 miles from Maryville, IL & able to drive there for a meet and greet. We are a 100% foster-based rescue. Applications & FAQ about our adoption process can be found on our website. Blanche is a low key, quiet little girl. Until now, she has spent her time raising puppies for other families. Now, she has the chance to find her family & to be loved for the rest of her life. She has had very little human interaction, so humans are unfamiliar to her. She is very brave, and will smell your hand & take treats from you. She just needs some time to get used to movement & home noises. She will do best learning from other 4-legged siblings so we would like to see her find a home with some friends of similar size & energy level. She follows her foster siblings around, like in & out the door for potties. Going from room to room & different activities. Blanche is not yet ready to be a lap dog, and she isn't a dog that you can just pick up. She will need time to establish trust & relationships with her family. She is still not accepting of the harness and leash. Therefore, for her safety, a secure physically enclosed area is a must. She isn't an outdoor adventure dog; she doesn't need a yard that she can run around in. But she does need a very secure area to do her potty business. Never EVER should she be left in the yard alone. If you are looking for a quiet friend, Blanche would love to hang out with you! We hope to find her a human friend that is interested in spending the day with Blanche watching & observing the wonderful world around her. She is a dog that is finally getting her chance to lounge around & be a dog!

Story
Meet Annie, an 8-year-old sweetheart with a playful personality. Annie came to us after her elderly owner was displaced by Hurricane Beryl and had to make the difficult decision to give her up. Despite her age and needing to shed a few pounds, Annie’s zest for life remains undiminished. Annie weighs about 20 pounds right now, but would be happier and healthier around 12-14 pounds. While her vision and hearing aren’t as sharp as they once were, it doesn’t slow her down one bit.Annie adores attention and will stand on her hind legs for pets and treats. She loves to snuggle and will happily fall asleep in your arms while being petted. She’s house trained, uses a doggie door, and sleeps quietly in her kennel through the night. Annie does need regular grooming to keep her coat in tip top shape.Annie gets along well with other dogs, though she can be a bit intimidated by larger ones. She’s great with all people and always has a happy demeanor. Annie will make a wonderful companion and is ready to bring joy to her forever home.IMPORTANT: Please read all below, especially if you live outside of Texas, which is where our rescue is located.Apply to adopt on our website: https://www.charmingpetrescue.org/adoptAll of our animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on shots.ALL of our animals are located in Boerne, TX, but transport after adoption is available to other states for a $300 fee for dogs or an additional fee varying by location for cats. If you are seeing our pets posted in your state, that's because you live near a transport stop, they are not currently at that location. Petfinder lists our pets as 'Out of Town' pets at other locations, and Adopt-a-Pet lists our location as a Transport stop. Those are currently the only options they offer to make this clear, so we put this description we've put at the bottom to explain it. You can read more about transport here: www.charmingpetrescue.org/transportWe understand transport is not an option for everyone, but we offer it at the cost we pay the transport company for those who wish to adopt from us.August 18, 2024, 5:27 am

Story
WE ARE A TX BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application found at haydudeequine.org Sebastian - You are the bridge between what was and what will be, my pathway to a new life! Omgosh folks, we have got the cutest overload going on with this lil guy looking for a home to call his very own. I am Sebastian, and I'm around 4-5 months old and super sweet, loving and not to mention, I'm playful too! Nothing better then exploring this big ole world and playing with my siblings. I only come in at around 6lbs and should be right about the 10lb area when I get myself fully growed up. Because of my size I'd do best in a home without small kiddos. I would do great with a playful furry 'sibling' to chase around stealing...err I meant sharing toys! Although I haven't met any of those creatures y'all call a cat yet but introduced properly at my tender age I should do just fine with them too! I've got a whole bunch of love in this whittle bitty body to give. And it could be YOU that is lucky enough to be on the receiving end, you just need to fill out my adoption application!! It can be found at haydudeequine.org

Story
Meet Sadie! Please Read Her Bio Before Applying! Sadie is a spirited 7-month-old red Maltipoo with a heart full of potential and a boundless enthusiasm for life! Though she's still figuring out the ropes, with the right guidance and a sprinkle of patience, she's well on her way to becoming an amazing companion. Sadie dreams of finding a loving home where she can grow, play, enjoy endless belly rubs, and become your perfect furry friend. Now, let's talk about Sadie's journey so far. She's still getting the hang of walking on a leash but already loves snuggling up in her crate for a good night's sleep. But, let's keep it real-Sadie is still very much a work in progress. She'll need positive reinforcement training and a patient, understanding owner to help her navigate the world. She's not fully house-trained yet, has a tendency to bark at new and unfamiliar things, and sometimes redirects her anxiety towards the other dog in the house. Sadie can also resource guard her people, so she'll need some training in that area too. And, for those in apartment settings, she might not be the best fit since she does enjoy expressing herself vocally! ALOT! We're being totally upfront because we want Sadie's next home to be her forever home. If you're up for the challenge and excited to help this sweet girl blossom, Sadie could be the perfect match for you! Sadie is currently thriving in a foster home. To set up a meet-and-greet, please fill out an application, and we'll schedule a time for you to meet her!

Story
Milo loves to cuddle and is extremely loving. He is the definition of a lap dog. He is playful, but doesn't like a busy house or to be left alone more than 6-8 hours. He is potty trained and will go on a pad if left alone for more than 7 hours. He eats 1/2 cup or less of dry dog food (Blue Buffalo Small Breed) twice a day (he only weights 8lbs). A 15lb bag can last approximately 3 months.
