Story

It was 5am. The call went out: Send the Police! 🚨 Adorned in protective gear, the police approached the house timidly - unsure what they'd find inside. The homeowner had called frantically. A monster may be lying in wait...As the door sprung open, a demon emerged: fluffy, 12lb, 8 year old Christopher. Street name: Christo-FURY.Look at him the wrong way, and he'll have something to say. Interrupt his nap and you'll never hear the end of it. While he may look like a perfectly cuddly lapdog, he is ANYTHING BUT. That 5am call to the police about a 12lb dog terrorizing her? That's true...and, that's how Christopher finds himself with us now. A wannabe police dog, this Maltese/Shih Tzu mix found himself on the outside looking in at the Police Dog Academy. HIs bark found insufficiently fearsome, and his tiny frame unfit for the riggers of police life. Now: all bark, no badge. Many things offend our little ChristoFURY. On the short list: men, children, strangers, neighbors, delivery people, repairmen, vets, groomers, sharing food, big or energetic dogs.Christopher definitely has some good qualities, too. He's quite a charmer with the ladies - often able to hide his devious side. Christopher gives plenty of warning if you learn his rules and listen to them. He's a good walker, non-shedding, and smart. Overall, Christopher is in great health other than a mild heart murmur which doesn't require medication. Beyond a patient one, we aren't sure what home will suit this little devil best. He may accept the presence of another chill dog, does not want kisses goodnight or to be woken up too early in the morning, and can be bribed with chicken and cheese. If you are still reading and thinking this sounds like a great dog to adopt, please make an appointment with a good therapist(KIDDING), and apply at RBARI.org/dogs so we can broker a meeting with ChristoFURY.If you think you can "fix" him, don't bother - those relationships never work out if you aren't ready to accept each other flaws and all, and he's done with trying to fit into society's convention of what a "pet" should be and looking to live life on his terms - with the rap sheet to prove it.

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Nigiri is a sweet senior Maltese boy who is searching for a soft place to land and a heart to call home. With his snowy white coat and gentle soul, Nigiri embodies everything special about senior dogs—quiet loyalty, deep gratitude, and love that feels calm and unconditional. Nigiri doesn’t need long walks or constant activity. What he treasures most is companionship. He loves curling up beside his person, resting peacefully, and simply being near. Nigiri is house trained and good with other dogs - in fact, he must go to a home with at least one other dog as we feel that he would struggle as an only dog. Although he is looking for his forever person who wants a quiet, loving companion, we have also discovered that he is good with children. When Nigiri looks at you, it’s as if he’s saying thank you—for your time, your kindness, and your love. Nigiri would do best in a calm, loving home where he can enjoy his golden years surrounded by patience and affection. Senior dogs like Nigiri are often overlooked, but they have a way of changing your life in the quietest, most meaningful ways. Nigiri just had a badly needed dental and he now has no teeth which means he should be on a soft food diet. He is also diabetic and will require daily insulin injections as well as glucose monitoring. But he is such a sweet and jaunty little fellow. He is ready to give all the love he has left—he just needs someone to give him a chance. If you’re looking for a loyal companion and a truly special soul, Nigiri is waiting. Age: 10 years Weight: 12 pounds Breed: Maltese mix Ideal Home: Quiet, loving, low-energy Temperament: Gentle, affectionate, calm Interested in adopting Nigiri? Please submit an adoption application asking for Nigiri TX at www.northstarpets.org! April 9, 2026, 10:23 am

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Sophie is a tiny 15 year old Maltese Poodle mix weighing just under 8 pounds. She is polite gentle and very sweet. Her favorite place is simply near her person. She coexists well with other small dogs and has an easygoing presence. Sophie came into rescue when her owner could no longer care for her. It took her a few days to adjust but she is settling in beautifully and showing her soft affectionate personality. Her eyesight is good and her hearing is still fairly strong for her age. She does have a heart murmur but is not on any medication at this time. She doesn't love being left alone so we are hoping to find her a calm quiet home where someone is around most of the time. Sophie is a lovely little soul looking for comfort companionship and a soft place to land for her golden years. ADOPTION PROCESS: 1. You must begin our adoption process by applying to adopt on clawsadopt.org. Please do NOT inquire via Petfinder, social media messengers or in our comments.
