Story
Meet Sasha, a precious 16-year-old Maltese whose gentle soul shines brighter than any limitation. Though Sasha is blind and hard of hearing, she navigates the world with grace, trust, and a heart overflowing with love. Sasha is an extremely sweet, gentle lap dog who finds her greatest comfort cuddled close to her person. She adores being held, resting quietly in a warm lap, and soaking up all the affection she can get. Her calm, loving presence brings a sense of peace and tenderness to everyone she meets. This senior girl is looking for a quiet, compassionate home where she can enjoy her golden years surrounded by kindness and care. In return, Sasha offers unwavering devotion, soft snuggles, and a beautiful reminder of how powerful love can be. If you’re ready to open your heart to a truly special senior who just wants to be cherished, Sasha will reward you with endless love and gentle companionship. PLEASE NOTE: All your current pets must be spayed/neutered, vaccinated and on heartworm prevention to adopt from Polka Dogz. We only adopt in Florida. All adoption fees go to help all the dogs in the rescue, some of which require extensive medical care. Thank you for caring for the greater good. Adoption fee is $150 and you can adopt me at www.polkadogz.org. ##2608021##

Apply to Adopt Me! NOTE: Bear and Chanel are bonded and must be adopted together. Meet Bear and Chanel, a bonded little family of mom and son who truly love each other! They were surrendered to Lil Rascals by their owner because she didn’t want to care for them any longer after having them their entire lives. Bear is an 8-year-old possible Maltese mix and weighs 14 pounds. He is such a sweet boy. He is a quiet and gentle and loving little soul. He loves to sit close to you while watching TV and asks for belly rubs. He is always ready for a snack. Bear loves to go on walks with his mom and they walk great together. Sometimes they bark at other dogs on the walk but Bear is a good little listener. Bear loves to play with squeaky toys. Bear is house trained and sits quietly with his mom on car rides and also sleeps quietly all night beside Chanel in their foster mom’s bedroom. He gets along with all his fur siblings and loves people and would love to find a quiet home with Chanel. If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and believe you have the perfect home for Bear and Chanel, please complete an app and tell us more about you. December 21, 2025, 12:42 pm

Apply to Adopt Me! Meet Chanel and Bear, a bonded little family of mom and son who truly love each other!  They were surrendered to Lil Rascals by their owner because she didn’t want to care for them any longer after having them their entire lives.  Chanel is an almost 10-year-old possible Maltese mix that weighs 12 pounds. She is the absolute boss of her son Bear, and she loves him dearly. She is such a sweet girl with a lot of personality. She is good with baths, and loves to rub on the grass to dry herself. She is so adorable and affectionate, and gets along with all her fur siblings. Chanel loves to play with squeaky toys. She is house trained and is great on walks with Bear by her side, and is also good on car rides. Chanel sleeps quietly all night in their foster mom‘s bedroom. She barks when the doorbell rings, but is quick to quiet when she is told. These two little sweethearts need to find a home together as they will bring lots of love and happiness to someone who will care for them and love them, as they are so appreciative to everything you do for them. If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and believe you have the perfect home for Chanel and Bear, please complete an app and tell us more about you.

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.
