This adorable old guy has had a rough life. Dumped on the street, blind and nearly deaf, he must have been terrified.

A senior would be a perfect fit for Simon. All this sweet boy needs is a quiet home without too much activity.

Story
Attention! RIGBY Here! PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE BIO BEFORE INQUIRING ABOUT MY ADOPTION PLEASE :) I am a very cute, little, Maltese/Chihuahua (Malchi) boy, I was born February 7, 2019. I am timid but sweet once I get to know you, I am very shy. I live with other dogs at the rescue, so I am ok with dogs, again it takes me some time to trust. I have been with rescue a long time because I suffer from some type of doggie vertigo and get car sick really easy, I always have since I was a puppy, so its hard for most families who enjoy taking their pup traveling. Its better now than it was when I was little but I still am nervous in the car. I need a loving patient family to open their hearts and home to allow me time to get to know you... Could that be you?? I was rescued from Lancaster, our humans didn't want us babies and gave us away and kept my Mama (Chihuahua) and Daddy (Maltese). I had siblings but they gave them away to other people instead of the rescue... Here is some information on my Mix Breed https://dogappy.com/information-about-maltese-chihuahua-mix-malchi Yours with a happy tailwag! Rigby

Story
Meet Lux (short for Luxury)! He is a two-year-old, 11-pound Shih Tzu with a heart full of love and ready for a fresh start. Rescued from a neglectful situation where he was one of too many dogs, Lux arrived in rough shape, covered in ticks, urine scalds, and mats. He had never even been to a vet before. Thankfully, he was rescued just in time to receive the care he deserved. Now chipped, up to date on shots, and fixed, Lux has blossomed into a happy-go-lucky pup who loves his newfound freedom! He adores kids and other dogs, and his favorite activity is playing—especially with his doggy friends. Lux is a social, resilient boy who’s always ready for a bit of fun and companionship. He’s now ready to find a loving family who can offer him the second chance he’s been waiting for. If you’re ready to make this playful sweetheart part of your life, don’t wait—submit your application today! Lux is sure to steal hearts in no time.

Dog Rescue website and complete an adoption application: www.icaredogrescue.org/ready-to-adopt Adoption fee includes: spay/neuter • shots up to date • micro-chip • fecal and vet check Breeds and age are not guaranteed.

Story
Looking for an energetic, affectionate companion who will adore you? Luke is the cuddly Maltese mix (or live teddy bear) you've been waiting for! At two years old, he has a ton of personality packed into his fluffy 16 lb. body. He’s super friendly, trusting, and has the potential to be an incredible addition to someone’s family. Luke’s favorite thing in the world? Cuddling up with his humans! He loves to be by your side and thrives on attention, whether you’re watching TV, hanging out outside, or “wearing” him while you do chores. His playful side comes out when it's time for a walk, game of tug, or some fetch, but his true love is snuggling close and getting all the belly rubs you can offer. While Luke is a happy and well-adjusted pup overall, he prefers not to be left alone. With patience and some training, Luke will learn to feel more comfortable when his humans are away. He’ll do best in a home where someone is around most of the time or is willing to work with him on building confidence. Luke does well with other dogs when introduced slowly. He enjoys canine companionship, but a slow and mindful introduction is key to making sure everyone gets along. He would also likely adore being an only dog!  Luke hasn’t spent time around children yet, so we recommend a home with older teens or adults who can give him the time and attention he craves. His ideal home is one where he’s the center of attention, gets plenty of affection, and where someone is committed to working with him to build trust and make him feel safe and secure. If you're looking for a sweet, cuddly companion who will keep you company and fill your heart, Luke is the one for you! Apply today to add this sweet teddy bear to your life. If you are interested in adopting, please visit the I.C.A.R.E. Dog Rescue website and complete an adoption application: www.icaredogrescue.org/ready-to-adopt Adoption fee includes: spay/neuter • shots up to date • micro-chip • fecal and vet check Breeds and age are not guaranteed.
