Story
Meet Milo!!!  This special boy is a 4 1/2 year old, 11 lbs maltipoo.  He is the complete package.  This sweet boy is good with other dogs both big and small.  He is also good with cats.  Milo is an active little guy that has the best time running and playing with his foster brothers and sisters.  They all have the best time in their fenced in yard.  Milo really enjoys playing but he is also all about the most important thing--YOU!  Milo loves his foster mom.  If she sits down he is right there.  If she goes to the kitchen Milo is right behind her to see if he can help.  At bed time, you got it, trotting down the hall with you.  This great guy would be an excellent companion for a young single person or a great addition to a family with children 6 and older.  (to our knowledge he has not been around toddlers and we don't want to set him up for failure.)  Milo is so small that he could go everywhere with you that doggies are allowed even in the airplane on vacation!  This boy does not want to be left behind.  Milo is ready for a late new year celebration when he meets his forever family.  Hopefully that will be with you.  To be considered for Milo's frever family and to request an application please contact Vivienne at viviennejames@comcaast.net.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Milo is currently in Tennessee and can be transported north upon adoption.)January 6, 2025, 2:04 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Little Miss Sunshine is ready to find her forever home. This sweet little senior came to us when her previous mama say passed away. Previously to this, Sunshine spent the first 4 years of her life in a breeding facility, where she no doubt produced beautiful puppies. But that is no life for her. Since being in rescue, Sunshine has had a dental, a major hernia repaired, and of course had a beautiful groom. All of which she was perfect for.    This girl has goals in life! First goal, Sunshine would really like a lap to lay on. If you want a lap dog, look no further! This is the dog for you. Sunshine will stare at you and OOOOOOO at you until pick her up and place her on your lap. At bedtime, she is ready to get on your bed and sleep on your head all night. Next goal, eat! This girl loves to eat. You have a snack, Sunshine expects you to share. And again she will bark and OOOOO at you until share. When it’s time to eat, Sunshine will run in circles barking at you while you get her meal ready. She is spunky little senior for sure. She is always making her foster family laugh. Sunshine loves car rides and will go anywhere with you. Sunshine will sit quietly in the seat next to you as you drive around. She is just the sweetest little ball of fluff and love. Sunshine gets along well with other dogs in the home, but she will growl at them if they invade her space while she’s sleeping. She’s not a dog that will snuggle with the others animals in her home. People are more her thing. Sunshine does not live with cats in her current foster home, but we do not think cats will be an issue in her new home. She has a very relaxed personality.  Now, we will tell you that Sunshine is not leash trained nor is she fully housebroken. But she is perfectly pee pad trained. In her previous home the woman was elderly and didn’t take her outside so she may very well be trained to go outside. Sunshine has short little legs. She’s not able to do a flight of stairs, so you will need to be prepared to carry her up and down as needed. Again, she loves to be held so it’s not a problem, she will expect you to hold her like the baby she is, or thinks she is. Sunshine is content to be in a crate while you are at work all day. Just make sure you cover the crate or she will bark while you are away.    If you think you can give Sunshine her perfect retirement home, make sure you apply today. You won’t be disappointed by how entertaining Sunshine promises to be.  Sunshine is spayed, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, flea/worm treated, tested neg. for heartworm.  Since in rescue, she has also had a dental and a major hernia removal.  Her adoption fee is $ 400 to help with the cost of her medical bills.    Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 5, 2025, 9:54 am

Story
Meet Rosie Hi, I'm Rosie! I'm a sweet and gentle 5-year-old Maltese mix, weighing 15 pounds. I’m affectionate and eager to please, though I can be a little shy when meeting new people. Once I feel safe, my loving personality truly shines. I am prone to seizures, but I take daily medication to manage them, and it helps me live a happy, healthy life. I'm a calm presence in the home—quiet and well-mannered, making me the perfect companion for someone looking for peace and love. My rescue believes I didn't have the kindest start in life. I didn’t even know what a cozy dog bed was, but now I’ve discovered how wonderful comfort can be, and I’m ready to embrace the good life with my forever family. Right now, I’m in a foster home with other dogs and cats, and I even get along with children. My rescue thinks I’d do best in a calm home with a backyard where I can relax, enjoy the outdoors, and go for nice walks with my humans. I’m fully house-trained and know to do my business outside. I’ve also been spayed and am up-to-date on all my shots. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will bring endless warmth and joy to your life, I’m your girl. Are you the one to give me the love and comfort I’ve always deserved? Please COPY THIS LINK INTO YOUR BROWSER and fill out application https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/POSH/Dog

Story
Hi! My name’s Worm (short for Wiggle Worm), and I’m a 3 ½-year-old Maltese with a whole lot of personality packed into my little body. I might be small, but don’t let that fool you—I’ve got the energy of the Energizer Bunny and the confidence of a Great Dane. 💪 I don’t walk like other dogs—I bounce! It’s like my feet are made of springs, and I’m always ready for my next adventure. Whether it’s chasing my toys, zooming around the yard, or just keeping you on your toes, I’m a whirlwind of excitement. 🌀 I’m sweet as can be and great with kids (they match my energy!). I’m also okay with dog-savvy cats who can handle my big personality. However, I’m extremely picky when it comes to other dogs. I do not get along with large dogs, so I need a home where I can be the king of the castle or have very carefully chosen small-dog friends. 👑🐾 Now, about my living situation—I need a secure yard with a 5-ft fence (no chain link for me, please—I’m clever and might try to escape!). A GPS collar is also required, just in case my springs launch me into a new adventure. If you’re looking for a bundle of chaos, cuddles, and non-stop entertainment, I’m your guy. Adopt Worm today, and let’s bounce into a lifetime of fun together! 🐾✨

Story
Hi, I’m Baby Shark, a 6-year-old Maltese mix with a big attitude and even bigger personality! Despite my small size, I’m basically a cranky little old man trapped in a dog’s body, and I know exactly what I want and how to get it. 😎 I’m quirky, independent, and definitely particular about what I like—like, don’t even think about picking me up or brushing me. I’m Baby Shark for a reason, people. 🦈 Now, you may be wondering, “What does Baby Shark do for fun?” Well, I love to watch TV—especially Stepbrothers. 🛋️ I have an undeniable obsession with Will Ferrell (don’t ask me why, I just love him), and I’ll happily sit there and watch the movie on repeat if you’ll let me. Even though I can be a little grumpy at times (hey, I’m not that old, but I’m set in my ways), I’m also a huge cuddle bug. I may not want to be picked up, but I’ll happily curl up next to you on the couch for some quality cuddle time and pets. ❤️ I’m a total social butterfly and love hanging out with cats, kids, and other dogs. I’ve come a long way and have captured the hearts of everyone lucky enough to meet me. 🐾 Oh, and did I mention I LOVE chicken? 🍗 If you ever need a way to win me over, just offer me a little chicken, and you’ll be my best friend. If you're looking for a quirky, lovable little guy who’s full of surprises, then I’m your man. Adopt Baby Shark and let’s enjoy some laughs, cuddles, and, of course, some Will Ferrell movie nights together! 😄
