Say hello to Maltese Mix, Zeke. This little fluffball was surrendered by his owner because health issues no longer allowed them to properly care for him. He is super sweet and loves everyone. Zeke loves to be held and snuggled and will definitely be an awesome couch buddy. He does like his walks also, but will never complain when it's cuddle time. If you are looking for a laid back bestie, you have found him right here. Why not complete an application and schedule an appointment to meet this snuggle bug today? https://animalrefugecenter.com/adoption-application My ideal home:I need a family to cuddle with.I'm good with:Most Other Dogs Older Children Men WomenI'm not good with:Cats Date of birth Oct 2018April 18, 2025, 5:08 pm

Story
Missy is a senior shih tzu who unfortunately needs to be rehomed due to her owner's living situation.  She is friendly and outgoing, good with all people and most other dogs too.  About 17 pounds.  Missy loves to cuddle and likes to sit outside to sunbathe.  She is relatively quiet and used to living in an apartment.   Fabulous senior companion! Missy is currently in our direct from owner adoption program. She is already spayed but will need to be brought up to date on her vaccines and testing.  There will be no adoption fee (but donations to the rescue are appreciated).   Chesed Rescue will be accepting applications for Missy and running background and vet checks.  We are looking for stable homes who will make a commitment to Missy for the rest of her life.   Applications for Missy are available at www.chesed-rescue.org/adoptionsApril 18, 2025, 4:01 pm

Story
Milo is a sweet Malshi male. He is 1 years old born on September 5, 2023. He is small with a big personality. He loves everyone. He's friendly with dogs, cats and people. Iv'e had Milo for a year now and I love him dearly. However, he needs more than I can give him. He needs a yard to play in because he is full of energy. He needs a family that can spend more time with him and love him as much as I do. Milo is a cuddle bug and likes to follow you around. Milo is somewhat housebroken. If he goes inside he does so on a pee pad. But will go outside most times. Milo is neutered and his vaccinations are just expired or about to. Please if interested, provide Milo with a happy loving home. He deserves this.

Meet Kevin! This adorable 8-month-old Maltese-Terrier blend weighs a perfect 14 lbs of pure cuteness.   General Behavior: Kevin is the ideal companion—sometimes a relaxed couch buddy, other times a playful ball of energy. One thing’s for sure: he’ll do anything for a treat!   Likes & Dislikes: Kevin absolutely LOVES his walks and enjoys running around in a fenced yard. He’s not too fond of robotic vacuums (who can blame him?), but apart from that, he’s a pretty easygoing pup.   Training: Kevin is a smart little guy! He does well with his housetraining when let outside regularly and will let you know when it’s time to go. He walks well on a leash, rides nicely in the car, and greets his humans with the happiest tail wags when they come home.   Medical: Kevin is in great health! He’s up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, and neutered. Like all dogs, he’ll just need monthly flea and heartworm prevention.   Other Animals: Kevin gets along well with dogs of all sizes. He hasn’t been tested with cats, but his foster believes he’d likely do well with them too.   Children: Kevin would do best in a home with older kids (ages 8-10+), but families who are experienced with active puppies would also be a great match for him.   Home: A single-family home would be best for this active and vocal puppy.  Grooming: Kevin will need regular brushing and occasional grooming to keep him looking his best.   Overall: Sweet and friendly Kevin is ready to bring joy, cuddles, and wagging tails to a lucky family. He’s looking for a forever home where he’ll be loved, walked, and spoiled—just as he deserves!   Has Kevin won your heart? He’s waiting for you! Head over to  www.poodleandpoochrescue.org where you’ll find the application to adopt. He’s up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, and neutered.  His adoption donation is $500 ##2300192##

Story
**ALL ADOPTIONS INCLUDE A HOME VISIT, YOU MUST LIVE IN BROWARD & PALM BEACH COUNTIES** Meet Oceana – A Gentle Soul Ready for a Sea of Love Wrap your arms and your heart around Oceana, a 9-year-old, 9-pound Maltese whose spirit is as beautiful as her name. Despite the neglect she once endured, this trusting, affectionate girl has chosen to love fully and fearlessly. She’s living proof that kindness and compassion can help even the most wounded hearts bloom again. Oceana has been through an incredible healing journey. She came to us in rough shape, but with dedicated vet care, she’s made a radiant comeback. She’s had a dental with extractions, and mammary tumor removal (all benign—hooray!), and she is now healthy and thriving. Through it all, she’s shown nothing but quiet strength and a deep desire to connect. Oceana is a loyal little companion who simply wants to be near her human. Whether you’re reading on the couch, working from home, or taking a leisurely walk, Oceana is your “go everywhere” girl. She enjoys gentle play with small dogs and toys, but her true joy is found in the closeness of loving company. At 9 years young, she has so much life and love left to give. She’s ready for a peaceful home that will cherish her as a beloved family member, offer her the affection she never had, and give her the soft landing she deserves. Let’s give Oceana the forever she’s waited her whole life for. Open your heart, and she’ll fill it with quiet companionship, devotion, and gratitude every single day.  This dog's adoption fee is $400 to go towards their vetting (vaccines, spay/neuter, heartworm/Ehrlichia/Lyme test, fecal test, pre-op blood work, dental cleaning, and microchip as well as grooming if needed). If you are interested please fill out the adoption application For additional information regarding our adoption process, please check our FAQ's Page.   *All dogs in the care of Get a Life Pet Rescue live in loving foster homes while waiting for their perfect match. They don't live in cages or crates (unless there is a medical reason to do so.) They are treated as family pets while in our care. * All dogs in our care are fed premium brand holistic food as well as supplements and vitamins specific to each dog's needs. We don't buy inexpensive bulk dry kibble, our rescues are fed premium wet food diets as part of a comprehensive rehabilitation program to ensure maximum health. .*All of our rescues receive complete quality vetting including full dental cleaning with pre-op bloodwork, spay/neuter, vaccines, and grooming. Dogs in need of specialized medicine will be seen by specialists, such as full cardiac workups, and ophthalmologist visits, all suspicious lumps, and bumps are biopsied, and every medical need is transparent to potential adopters. *Once you adopt from Get a Life Pet Rescue, you become part of our compassionate family and we are here for you if a problem with your precious dog arises. ##2362403##
