View our GENERAL fees here (you will need to copy/paste into your browser): https://theanimalleague.org/adoption-fees/ All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, receive a registered microchip, and are up-to-date on their age-appropriate shots, vaccines, and preventative care.

Story
Barbara is a 14-year-old Maltese who originally belonged to my mother. Unfortunately, my mother is now seriously ill and can no longer care for her, and I stepped in to help. As Barbara has continued to age, her needs have increased beyond what I’m able to manage in my current situation. She is a sweet, gentle senior who has been deeply loved her whole life. At this stage, she is experiencing age-related incontinence and anxiety/whining, which require a calm environment, patience, and experience with senior dogs. I’m looking for a compassionate, senior-friendly home ideally someone experienced with elderly dogs, incontinence, and end-of-life care. A quieter home with someone who is present more often would be best for her comfort and well-being.

NAME:  Gusta BREED:  Maltipoo - Maltese/poodle/mix SEX:  male COLOR:  black/white AGE:  est at 6 yrs as of March 2025 WEIGHT:  14 lbs FOSTERED BY: LOCATED IN: NOTES FROM FOSTER FAMILY: Hi there, I'm Gusta. I'm a bit of a wallflower, preferring to observe from the sidelines before jumping into the fray. Independence is my game, though I do enjoy the company of my fellow canine companions. We have a blast together, exploring our surroundings and engaging in friendly play. I may be a little shy, but once I warm up to you, you'll see my loyal and loving side. I'm the perfect companion for someone who understands my need for personal space, yet appreciates my love for other dogs. Adopting me means gaining a friend who will respect your space, cherish your companionship, and bring joy to your life with my playful antics with other dogs. Gusta needs a home with a fenced in yard.  He came from a hoarding situation and needs a person/family that will give him time and space to feel safe and comfortable. NOTE:  Local applications are given first priority and some out of town areas will not be able to be processed.
