Story
I moved back from Germany June of 2024 and decided to take the dogs off the hands of one of my coworkers who was moving to the Philippines. The dogs name is Zola and she is 7 years old as of Dec 19. So far she seems to be a great dog, she just needs attention and I don’t have it to give at the moment.

Story
Want a best friend for life? What about a playmate for your children? Maybe a cuddle buddy? If so, Lilah is your girl! She’s a wonderful Shih Tzu/Maltese mix that takes playtime seriously! She can sit, lay, give paw (handshake), roll over, and bed/kennel. She loves Lambchop and will be forever be in your debt for sums(treats). She’s a very well mannered pooch, and will be the perfect fit in any home as an only pooch, not sure how she is around cats. I hate to have to rehome her but she doesn’t get along with my big dog. She is fixed and has all of her shots as of last year:her rabies expired Nov 2024. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions!

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
For inquiries email ashley@compactcanierescue.org Fee: $600 Location: Montpelier, VA Things to consider when applying to adopt Jewel: shy but warms up Maltese coats need grooming every 4-6 weeks needs a patient adopter and quiet home fenced yard a plus but not a requirement potty manners in progress breeder/puppy mill dog experience a plus Jewel is new in rescue. She arrived on December 19th. She weighs 9 pounds and is 6 years old. She is a retired breeding female. She is shy but adjusting well to her new retired life. She will need a dental and spay in the new year. Once she is healed she will be ready for adoption. Jewel was seen by the vet and is awaiting her dental on January 14th. She will be spayed on February 10th then be ready for adoption. Jewel is a sweet little girl. She remains skittish (typical for a retired breeder pup) but is warming up and learning to be a pet. She will thrive in a quiet, adult/older child home with patient owners who will allow her time to acclimate, learn to potty outside and just be a pet. She has spent her entire life making puppies! It's time for her to be pampered. She is learning to walk on a leash and enjoys sniffing in the yard. A fenced yard will be a plus to allow her time to explore. If interested please put in your application now. February will be here before you know it! Stay tuned to our social media channels for the latest photos and updates.
