Story
I'm a cutie Malshi - that's a Maltese / Shih Tzu mix. Ooooh Baby, people tell me I am about as cute as a button . . . a bug's ear . . . a bug in a rug . . . a cupcake. I mean really cute. I'm almost 2 years young and I'm a little girl at only 9 lbs. I'm still full of puppy energy and love to play, play, play. I'm potty trained and puppy pad trained. I get along with other dogs, but I'm scared of big dogs. So, just keep that in mind.  PLEASE DO NOT CALL. If you're interested in adopting me, fill out an adoption application online at www.polkcountyhumanesociety.org/adopt where you will also find a link to reserve me for an appointment. Some pets are in foster homes or may already have an appointment scheduled, so the appointment is important to make sure I will be available to meet you when you come. Polk County Humane Society is located in Bolivar, Missouri, but also makes transports to the Denver, CO, Des Moines, IA and St. Louis areas twice monthly. For potential adopters in those areas, we can do a virtual visit using FaceTime or another app. Just request an appointment using the same link, but note that you want the visit to be virtual. We will call you at the time of the visit once it is confirmed. For long distance transports to Colorado and Iowa, there is an additional $100 fee to cover the cost of the transport ($65) and a health certificate from a veterinarian ($35). For transports to St. Louis, the additional fee is $50 to help cover gas. Going that last mile home for our sweet pets! All of our pets are neutered or spayed, have vaccinations appropriate for their age, treated with flea/tick/heartworm prevention, dewormed and dogs are also microchipped. #adoptdontshop ##2377812##

Story
My parents have their mother and father. I kept one from a litter in 2013 and one from a litter in 2021. Both girls are spayed, have never had any health issues, they are very friendly with people (after they bark they will lay on their back for a belly rub.) they are not very socialized with other dogs. They are house broken and are use to using wee wee pads indoors. After relocating three years ago I have been working 60 hours the whole time. They spend the entire day at home in their play pen area waiting till I get home. I would like to find a home that will take both of them and has the capacity to spend quality time giving them love like they deserve. This listing is to rehome TWO Female Maltese sister dogs. Floresita (listed) and her sister Faith. For more details I can be reached at calest650@gmail.com Thank you.

Story
Popcorn is about 18 lbs., 14 years old and according to Google lens, a West highland terrier. Animal Care Services thought he was a Maltese mix and foster mom thinks he could be a Schnauzer/Maltese mix but knows for sure that he is the cutest scruffy EVER!!! His journey hasn't been all snuggles and treats as he lived on someone's apartment patio for years, lying in poop, grass and other debris until Animal Care Services came for him and God's Dogs Rescue was able to save the little scamp. While he still loves his humans, other gentle pups his size (cats unknown) and his squishy toys and chewy, understandably he has a few emotional scars especially regarding vet visits and grooming. Slow, patient progress in these areas has helped him be more confident, but will need a patient adopter to help him adapt. Things that make Popcorn super happy are spending time with his humans after he gets to know them, car rides and walks in the park. He loves, loves his squishy toys and generally carries one around with him. His most favorite game is for his person to chase him and pretend to take his squishy away. He also like to run zooms and if there isn't a person to play with he will often throw his toys for himself. Doesn't that just make you want to throw his stuffies so he can play?? He's a healthy guy for his age with just a few old man issues (beginnings of cataracts) that he takes supplements for and should continue taking. His liver enzymes were high when tested but he is on a med to help them normalize. Can you give this boy the right lap to live in?? He needs very patient/knowledgeable adopters, no children- adult only because he will bite if afraid... It is a work in progress but he is becoming the goofy boy he was meant to be while living on the nasty hot and freezing porch for most of his 14 yrs :( GIVE HIM A CHANCE!!! Local adoption only $200 (in TX)

Story
I am a male, probably Maltese white adult dog who is around 5 years old. I came in with the 2 others in this picture. I had been living with as well as 3 other dogs in a neglectful situation, so the people at the shelter had my long, matted hair shaved off so I would be able to move better and feel better. I sure do! I am awfully skinny right now, but I'm still friendly and love snuggles. It will take a bit for me to recover from the trauma we all went through before coming to the shelter, but I am loving the attention I get and getting stronger every day. If you're looking for a smaller dog, come see me at the shelter!
