Story
 Molly is a one year old maltese/yorkshire terrerier girl, or Morkie. She has gotten the nickname Mork from Ork due to her wonderful adventures and funny exploits. She needs a family that has high energy and a great sense of humor to tackle her amazing ways. She is around 16 pounds, potty trained, crate trained and a first class cuddler. She loves the large fenced yard she is at and runs with the big dogs. She is much like a big dog in a small dogs body, and is a real talker.  She is not the best with little children as she is a little bossy. To adopt this phenomenal girl, please do our application at www.pawsandprayers.org.   Her adoption fee is $400 but well worth it with all the love she gives. Any questions, email marty@pawsandprayers.org . Molly would do best in a home with another dog, a fence and children over 12 years of age. She has lots of energy and loves to run. May 12, 2025, 7:47 am

Story
This sweet, 30# curly-coated guy is Baby, a 5-year-old Maltipoo with a soft heart and a past that’s left him a bit guarded. Baby absolutely adores women and does great with kids—but he’s not comfortable around men. Due to past abuse from a man, Baby is protective of the woman in his life and will bite men who come too close. Because of this, he needs a female-only home where he can feel safe, loved, and understood. Baby enjoys his monthly beauty shop visits and is a perfect gentleman for the groomer. He also loves car rides, chew toys, and bones—and with more time outdoors and a little activity, he’ll be a happy boy! He thrives in a calm, predictable environment where he knows he’s safe.  Baby would do best with a retired woman, someone who works from home, or someone home more often than not. He forms a strong bond with his person and thrives with companionship and routine. He is a true lap dog!  This pup is affectionate, loyal, and devoted to his person once he bonds. If you’re a woman looking for a loving shadow to follow you through life, Baby might just be your perfect match. Adoption is $300 which includes his neuter, age-appropriate vaccines, microchip and current monthly prevention. To fill out an application for this animal or a general application click HERE.All animals are up to date on age appropriate shots, microchipped and fixed. To meet one of our animals we require an approved application. You can fill one out at https://tobyscrittercoverescue.org/adoptionapp/ May 30, 2025, 11:08 pm

Story
We acquired Willy at 8 weeks old from a breeder. He was advertised as a Maltese but we suspect he has some poodle in him due to his coat. He is now 2 years old and an amazing family-friendly dog. He loves to cuddle and loves attention. He is a smart dog - we play with him daily. We also have a Border Collie and he fetches balls at a speed that matches our Border Collie - he really looks forward to this every day. We go on some walks with him but not consistently. He will typically bark at other dogs on our walks but gets along great with our Border Collie, and does very well with my parents dog when they visit. She is a Shih Tzu and they have fun playing together. Willy tends to defend his turf when we get visitors. As a result, we normally try to put Willy in his kennel before we open then door and then we will bring him out once our visitors are settled. We recently have been caring for another family member which does allow us to give Willy the time he deserves.
