You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › MaltipooTuxedo is an energetic boy who loves to run and play. He enjoys chew toys and playing with other dogs. He does well in his crate for limited times during the day and he is a good sleeper whether in his human's bed or on his dog bed. He is not fully potty trained so a fenced back yard for outdoor play time would be great. Although he [has] been on a harness and leash, he finds himself getting distracted and darting in different directions. He's a loving boy with a good heart and a kind spirit. He is smart and he's a good eater. He's not picky with his food. He lives his live with joyful abandon and happiness.Tuxedo is estimated to be around 4 years old and 12 lbs.You can apply to adopt me here: https://www.pawfectmatch.org/info/adoptionVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 1, 2025, 8:53 am

IF INTERESTED YOU MUST COMPLETE OUR APPLICATION ON OUR WEBSITE, WE DO NOT RECEIVE APPLICATIONS FROM THIS SITE. WE DO NOT CHARGE A FEE TO COMPLETE AN APPLICATION OR REQUIRE SEPARATE APPLICATIONS FOR DIFFERENT DOGS WE MAY HAVE AVAILABLE. www.schnauzersaversrescuers.org MILO is a pure bred MALTESE, 5 yrs old male. He is white and feels like silk. He is UTD on vaccines/rabies and Bordetella, groomed and microchipped. He is neutered and heartworm negative. He’s on heartworm prevention and been dewormed. Milo never meets a stranger, no matter if it’s a dog or person. He adapts well to a new environment rather quickly. This little one is about 13 lbs. And he loves to be the boss, yet not in an aggressive way at all. He likes to talk to you and tell ou stories. Follows you around the house and learns very quickly. First day in his foster home, she moved the gate to enter into another room, turned around and within a minute, Milo moved the gate and followed her. He enjoys going outside in the fenced yard to explore. His foster Mom stays outside with him and he has good recall. He came as a breeder surrender, along with others. These dogs lived outdoors and still learning to go out on command. So Milo would do best being on a consistent schedule or a belly band in the beginning. He does well with other dogs in the home, but does like to take the role of being the leader. Kids should be over 10 as these dogs have never lived with a child of any age.

He has a heart murmur, tooth decay, and gum disease that need immediate attention. He’s working on getting healthy and will soon need dental treatment to ease his discomfort and keep that silly grin intact. Once he has completed his surgery, he will be available for adoption.&#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 &#226&#158&#161&#239&#184&#143 Donate here: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=VJEXAFXEE84BE &#226&#158&#161&#239&#184&#143 Adoption Application here:  https://rainbowbridgerescue.org/applications/ Luca may have had a rough start, but with your support, he’s well on his way to brighter days filled with love, play, and wagging tails.

Beya is a 2 year old, 15 lb. Maltese/Poodle mix. Beya had a very rough start in life and is now learning to trust people and how to be a dog. This sweet girl just needs some time and patience to come out of her shell and trust again. But she is well worth the wait! Once comfortable, Beya will cuddle up next to you and is so snuggly - it's precious to watch! Beya is blossoming in her foster home and has mastered crate and potty training. She does well with her routine and hopes to continue it and be successful in her forever home one day! Beya is still learning that leashes aren't so scary and is enjoying walks in her neighborhood. She also has enjoyed the company of her calmer foster dog sibling and will wake her up to play in the morning! She would love to find a home where she is either an only pet or has a calm, patient canine buddy to play with! Beya does have a lot of energy when she gets comfortable and loves to run around and play in her yard. She is loving these fun new things her foster mom calls "toys" and enjoys the plush and squeaky ones the most! They are so fun to play with and snuggle with and she hopes her forever home will have lots of them she can enjoy! Beya can't wait to find her happily ever after and grow up with a family who will cherish her and bring out the best in her!
