Story
HI - I'M CHLOE! I'm a 2-year-old white Maltese-Poodle mix in need of a forever home! I weigh only 9 pounds. I was recently rescued from a crowded California shelter, where I became urgent because I was scared. Now I'm in a foster home and am doing so much better! I get along great with other dogs and once I know you, I seek out attention and affection. I will make a great companion for a person or people in a quiet home. I would do best with kids over 12. Please email for an application.

Story
Breed: Maltese / Shih Tzu X DOB: 10/2022 Gender: female Altered: yes Coat: medium Size: small Color(s): white Description: Hi, I'm Celine, an active fluffy Maltese / Shih Tzu X in need of a new home as my owner has no time for me due to a busy schedule. I love children and I'm good with other small dogs, but it's unknown how I'd do with larger dogs or cats. I enjoy going for walks and know basic commands.I take daily seizure medication. This medication causes me to drink lots of water. I'd do best with a doggy door so I may go out when I need to. If you think you can give me the love and attention I deserve, please fill out an online application to meet me.November 19, 2024, 2:36 pm

Breed: Maltese X DOB: 12/2012 Gender: female Altered: yes Coat: medium Size: small Color(s): white Description:Hi, I'm Lexi, a sweet senior Maltese X with a lovable personality and a sweet, gentle nature that will win over anyone's heart. I'm in need of a new home as sadly my owner can no longer care for me.I'm a friendly girl who quickly blended in with the other pups at my foster home. I'm even good with the tortoise! It's unknown how I'd do with cats, but I think I'm too sweet to have any cat-astrophes with them. It's also unknown how I would do with children.I'm house trained and know how to behave inside the home. I am very active for my age and would be the perfect companion for a nice walk around the park.I'm looking for a loving forever home where I can live out the rest of my life surrounded by love. I hope you'll open your heart and home to sweet adorable me. If I'm not getting enough attention, I will bark. I take daily seizure medication. This medication causes me to drink lots of water. I'd do best with a doggy door so I may go out when I need to.If you are interested in meeting me, please fill out an online application to set up a meet and greet.February 11, 2025, 5:46 pm
