Story
** ALI ATTACHES TO OWNER & WHINES/BARK WITH SEPARATION ** NEEDS COMPANION DOG *** Meet Ali, 4 yr old, 15 lb (a little overweight & still losing weight), Maltese Bichon Mix. He has the tight curls on his body. (Ali's owner lost her job and needed to find homes for Ali and the other dog in the home, Chesterfield, Maltese Mix.) Ali's a Good Boy and wants to always please you. He'd do well with another dog in the home for a companion for when you are gone. He will cry/whine/bark because he will miss you.  NO Apartments/NO Condos. He's housebroken but will sometimes lift leg in house; but is correctable if you catch him. He does walk on leash but needs a little bit more training not to pull. If you're looking for a "Constant Companion" and "Total Lap Dog", and you're home most of the day, Ali is your man!  Ali has a vet appointment on Mar 17 and will be ready to adopt after that.   If you are interested, complete the  Adoption Application  on our website at  www.NeedyPaws.org  and we will contact you.  Adopters must live within an hour’s drive of St. Louis, MO. Ali’s adoption fee is $275.00, which includes up-to-date vaccinations, heartworm testing and preventative, spay/neuter and microchip. We are a 100% foster-based rescue and all of our dogs live in approved foster homes. We are dedicated to finding the best Forever Homes, and will perform home visits and conduct veterinarian and reference checks for each potential adopter.

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 Clover! Clover is an adorable 4-year-old Maltese weighing just 9 pounds. After spending the first four years of his life in a breeding facility, Clover is still discovering what it means to be a dog. He’s a little shy and still learning, but with love and patience, he’s quickly blossoming into a sweet, affectionate companion. Clover is not potty trained yet, so he’ll need someone who can guide him as he learns. He would do best in a home with another dog, as their presence will help him feel safe and supported. Clover will also need a fenced yard or a portable fence while he adjusts to his new life. Once he settles in, Clover will be your loyal little Velcro dog, always by your side with his loving, happy nature. He’s ready to fill your home with love and joy! Clover is neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and vaccinated. His adoption fee is $325. To learn more about this bundle of joy, fill out an adoption application at istodaymydayrescue.org.
