Story
Hi! My name’s Worm (short for Wiggle Worm), and I’m a 3 ½-year-old Maltese with a whole lot of personality packed into my little body. I might be small, but don’t let that fool you—I’ve got the energy of the Energizer Bunny and the confidence of a Great Dane. 💪 I don’t walk like other dogs—I bounce! It’s like my feet are made of springs, and I’m always ready for my next adventure. Whether it’s chasing my toys, zooming around the yard, or just keeping you on your toes, I’m a whirlwind of excitement. 🌀 I’m sweet as can be and great with kids (they match my energy!). I’m also okay with dog-savvy cats who can handle my big personality. However, I’m extremely picky when it comes to other dogs. I do not get along with large dogs, so I need a home where I can be the king of the castle or have very carefully chosen small-dog friends. 👑🐾 Now, about my living situation—I need a secure yard with a 5-ft fence (no chain link for me, please—I’m clever and might try to escape!). A GPS collar is also required, just in case my springs launch me into a new adventure. If you’re looking for a bundle of chaos, cuddles, and non-stop entertainment, I’m your guy. Adopt Worm today, and let’s bounce into a lifetime of fun together! 🐾✨

Story
Hi, I’m Baby Shark, a 6-year-old Maltese mix with a big attitude and even bigger personality! Despite my small size, I’m basically a cranky little old man trapped in a dog’s body, and I know exactly what I want and how to get it. 😎 I’m quirky, independent, and definitely particular about what I like—like, don’t even think about picking me up or brushing me. I’m Baby Shark for a reason, people. 🦈 Now, you may be wondering, “What does Baby Shark do for fun?” Well, I love to watch TV—especially Stepbrothers. 🛋️ I have an undeniable obsession with Will Ferrell (don’t ask me why, I just love him), and I’ll happily sit there and watch the movie on repeat if you’ll let me. Even though I can be a little grumpy at times (hey, I’m not that old, but I’m set in my ways), I’m also a huge cuddle bug. I may not want to be picked up, but I’ll happily curl up next to you on the couch for some quality cuddle time and pets. ❤️ I’m a total social butterfly and love hanging out with cats, kids, and other dogs. I’ve come a long way and have captured the hearts of everyone lucky enough to meet me. 🐾 Oh, and did I mention I LOVE chicken? 🍗 If you ever need a way to win me over, just offer me a little chicken, and you’ll be my best friend. If you're looking for a quirky, lovable little guy who’s full of surprises, then I’m your man. Adopt Baby Shark and let’s enjoy some laughs, cuddles, and, of course, some Will Ferrell movie nights together! 😄

Story
This sweet little 7 year old lady was initially afraid of everything and trying to run, hide and nip, but now that she has settled in she is a sweetie...she needs a slow "touch" if you have visitors, or go too fast with her before she has decompressed and settled in....she will still try to give you a warning nip!  Not every dog has had a loving past, and we don't know what hers was, but we do know that if you give her the time, and not try to be her best friend right away, she will come around and be a very dedicated companion.   We feel Coco would do best in a quiest home, and one that won't push her too soon, but will give her whatever time she needs to be comfortable.  It may be a lot to ask, but we know there is someone special out ther for her!  Shea  does use wee wee pad for pee pee and does other business outside.  Please go to the link to fill our our adoption application.  https://www.remembermerescueny.net/adoption-application  Remember Me Rescue does not adopt out of the local area, no transport is available.  We adopt to Long Island, Westchester, NYC area and parts of Connecticut only. Also, we have a very high volume of applications and we are all volunteers. We cannot respond to every application personally. Please make sure your application gives us a good picture of your family and the life you plan on providing a dog from our rescue. We choose a home based on the BEST FIT for EACH dog and approve on a dog by dog basis. Thank you! ##2147050##

Story
Meet Meemaw! 🐾✨ At an estimated 12 years old, this 10-pound Maltese mix might be a little on the senior side, but don’t let that fool you—she’s still got more sass and spunk than a whole season of Golden Girls! Meemaw was picked up as a stray, but now she’s on the hunt for a family to spend her golden years with. Sure, she might have a few more grays and a bit of a slower pace, but Meemaw isn’t here for any of that "young dog" nonsense. She’s got a sense of humor, a big heart, and more love to give than you can handle (especially if you have a comfy lap). She's looking for someone who doesn’t mind her little quirks, like enjoying a nice snack and a cozy nap. If you’re ready for a fun, loving, and slightly sassy companion who knows how to enjoy the finer things in life—like a good cuddle and a nap under the sun—Meemaw is your girl. Just be prepared to share your snacks, because she’s always up for a treat! Adopt Meemaw and let her add some golden years to your life! 🐾💖 (And remember, she’s probably going to steal your heart… and maybe your snacks too.) *Reminder* We are currently facilitating adoptions through appointment only. If you arrive at the shelter without an appointment to meet a dog, we may not be able to assist you. Please call the shelter (516-869-6311) during working hours (Mon. to Fri. 9AM-4PM; Sat. 10AM-4PM) for more information about this dog, the adoption process at the shelter, and to confirm availability. Please go to www.theshelterconnection.org for more information about and directions to the shelter.
