Story
Meet Gus!  Gus is a 16 yr old super senior Maltese who came to RMG after his mom had to be moved into memory care. Aside from having some apparent hearing loss, though, you would never know Gus is a whopping 16 yrs old! He’s extremely spry for his age and in great health. Gus’ previous family did report that he had had some life long anxiety issues, but he had also always been the only pet in the home. Ever since he joined RMG and has been in a foster home with other dogs and cats, we have seen absolutely zero signs of anxiety of any sort. This is one happy fella! So for that reason, we will be looking for a home with another dog for Gus - preferably another chill senior who would enjoy a companion to roam the yard with and then snuggle up for a nice nap. Even at 16 yrs old, we have no doubt that Gus still has a lot of life left to live! Interested in being a part of that amazing life? Email adrienne@rescuemega.org or fill out an adoption application on our website- www.rmgdogs.org ##2613338##

Story
    Hi, I’m Liberty - a feisty, adorable, 9-year-old, Maltese/Poodle mix weighing just 9 pounds. My foster mom says I’m fluffy (I think that’s her sweet way of teasing me). I’ve had a little anxiety in the past, so I sometimes bark when I feel unsure, but I’ve made wonderful progress. Once I know I’m safe, I truly shine. I just need a calm environment and a family who understands me. I’m spayed, fully house-trained, crate-trained, and up to date on all my vaccinations. I even had a dental cleaning! I know my basic commands and take pride in being a well-mannered little lady. My dream home would be quiet and peaceful, with no small children, no shared walls, and a fenced yard where I can enjoy fresh air and sunshine. I’m a sweet girl with a gentle heart, looking for a safe, warm, and loving place to rest my head. Could you be the family I’ve been waiting for?  An Adoption Application for this dog can be found and submitted online. http://www.angelsrescue.org/adopt/adoption-forms  Please be sure to like our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/angelsrescue.  Email inquiry@angelsrescue.org  Note: Some apartments and neighborhoods have breed restrictions.

Story
    Hi! I’m Lulu York! My Foster Mama says I look like a muppet, and honestly, I’ll take it. I’m a 9-year-old, Yorkie/Maltese mix, weighing in at 9 pounds of fluff, sass, and cuddle potential. I really love my food (don’t judge), but I’m working on slimming down a bit with my foster’s help. I’m a total sweetheart who loves affection, but my Yorkie side gives me a big personality and a confident little attitude that keeps life interesting.  Here’s the good stuff:  Crate & house trained  Up to date on all vaccines  Very loving once I trust you  Dental cleaning coming soon I’m looking for a quiet, calm home where I can be someone’s cuddle buddy. Small kids aren’t really my thing. I prefer a peaceful environment where I can relax, nap, and soak up all your love.
