Quick Facts Name: Henry Birthday: 8 years (Born Jan 1, 2017) Gender: Male Neutered: Yes Breed: Maltese Color: White Weight: 2.4kg All About Me Hello, future family! I’m Henry, a sweet and gentle soul with a lot of love to give. At 8 years old, I’m a little guy who may seem shy at first, but once I trust you, I’m all about cuddles and affection. I’m a Maltese, and I’ve got the softest white fur that you’ll love to pet. My Personality I might be small, but I’ve got a big heart! I may seem a little shy when we first meet, but a tasty treat is all it takes for me to warm up to you. Once I feel comfortable, I’m ready to be your best friend. I enjoy my personal space at first, but it doesn’t take me long to open up to new faces, especially if you’re kind and patient with me. I’m not the most outgoing with other dogs—I prefer to keep my distance. But don’t worry, I’m gentle and peaceful, and if things get a bit too rowdy, I’m quick to step away and find a quieter spot. I’m much more focused on my people and love spending time with them. On My Walks When it comes to walks, I’m not in a rush—I enjoy leisurely strolls where we can take our time and enjoy the scenery together. I may pull a little on the leash at first, but I do my best to follow along with you. Life at Home I’m a calm and affectionate little guy who loves the quiet moments with my family. I’m not too active, and I tend to keep to myself at first, but once I feel safe, I’ll snuggle up next to you for some quality time. I don’t guard my food and I rarely bark. I am potty trained indoor and outdoor also I feel comfortable in a kennel. My Ideal Home I’m looking for a home where I can feel safe and loved. A family that’s patient and willing to give me the time I need to feel comfortable would be perfect. Here’s what I dream of: - A Calm, Loving Environment – A peaceful home where I can relax and be myself.- Gentle Companionship – I’d love to live with people who are kind and gentle, and I’d prefer a home without other rowdy dogs or to be only fur baby.- Plenty of Love & Attention – I may be small, but my heart is huge, and I can’t wait to share it with the right family! Last Message If you’re looking for a gentle, loving companion who will slowly but surely become your best friend, I might just be the perfect fit for you. Let’s take things slow and enjoy each other’s company—I can’t wait to meet you! ##2301029##

Quick Facts Name: Logan Age: 8 years old (born in 2017) Gender: Male Neutered: Yes Breed: Maltese Color: White Weight: 4 kg (approx. 9 lbs) All About Me Hi there! My name is Logan, and if you’re looking for a devoted companion who will always be by your side, you’ve found me! I’m a small pup with a huge heart, and my favorite thing in the world is simply being close to my humans. Whether it’s following you around the house, curling up next to you on the couch, or giving you little tail wags of encouragement—I’m always ready to shower you with love. My Personality I’m a total people-lover! I warm up quickly to new friends, and if you give me a little attention, I’ll happily roll over to show you my belly. I’m gentle, affectionate, and always eager for cuddles. I might even follow you from room to room, just to make sure you know how much I love you. When it comes to other dogs, I prefer to keep to myself. I’m polite and will say a quick hello, but I’m not the type to engage in playtime. I’d much rather spend my time soaking up love from my humans. Oh, and did I mention treats? I love treats! They are the way to my heart, and I’ll do just about anything for a yummy snack. On My Walks I’m a wonderful walking buddy! I have lots of experience on a leash and walk right by your side without pulling. Whether it’s a short stroll or a leisurely afternoon walk, I’ll be happy just being outside with you. Life at Home I’m a well-mannered little guy who knows how to settle down indoors. I’m comfortable in a kennel if needed, and I’m great with both indoor pads and outdoor potty breaks. I don’t mind relaxing on my own, but I’ll always be happiest when I’m near my favorite person. I do get excited when I want something and might let out a little bark to let you know. It’s just my way of talking to you! My Ideal Home I dream of a home filled with love and gentle companionship. Here’s what I hope for in my forever family: Someone who loves affectionate, people-oriented dogs—I’ll be your little shadow! A cozy space where I can curl up and feel safe. A home where I can be the center of attention (I don’t mind other dogs, but I don’t need them). If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion who will cherish every moment by your side, I’d love to meet you. Let’s start our forever together! ##2300885##

Story
He is a very good dog, he is a senior dog (16 years old) , he is calm, he likes children, he barks alot when we get home and when he wants to go out to do his business, he pees at home in his waterproff mat because we take him out early in the morning and late afternoon also he suffers from age-related incontinence.. We want to find him a home because it is difficult for us to keep him in the apartment, to take him out for walks more often to prevent him from peeing at home and we also travel a lot and it is difficult to find someone to take care of him. We prefer that the adopter lives in Toronto or surrounding areas to make rehoming easier and preferably in a house with a yard. We will provide two waterproof mats (as seen in the photos), bed and food. February 13, 2025

Story
Meet Petit ❤️️, a sweet little Maltese-Terrier mix who is looking for her forever home. Petit was rescued just in time from a kill shelter before she faced euthanasia, and now she's ready to begin her new chapter in a loving home. ❤️Health & Vaccinations Petit is fully vaccinated, neutered, and has no known health issues. She is in great shape and ready to find a family to call her own. ❤️Personality & Behavior Petit is incredibly friendly and gets along well with everyone, regardless of age or gender. She’s affectionate with people and enjoys spending time with her family. She is also wonderful with children and has no problem with male or female family members. When it comes to other dogs, Petit is friendly and playful—she loves meeting new dogs and greeting them with enthusiasm. She’s not particularly interested in cats, showing no reaction when around them. Petit is not aggressive in any situation, making her an easygoing and adaptable companion. She has a moderate energy level (about 2-3 out of 5), so she enjoys playtime but also loves lounging and being around her people. ❤️Training & Habits Petit is well-leash trained, enjoys walks, and behaves well on a leash. She is comfortable in a kennel and doesn’t mind being crated. She is potty trained and prefers to do her business outdoors, but she also knows how to use a wee pad when needed. ❤️Behavioral Traits Petit is a quiet dog and rarely barks, making her an excellent choice for someone seeking a calm and peaceful companion. She has no escape instincts and won’t run off. She loves being petted and has no issues with being touched anywhere on her body. She is not destructive and doesn’t have any tendencies to chew or destroy items. Petit is not obsessive about food, toys, or anything else—she’s a relaxed and easygoing dog. ❤️Ideal Home Petit is a perfect match for any family or individual looking for a sweet, affectionate, and well-behaved dog. She is friendly with people, great with kids, and gets along with other dogs, making her an ideal companion for a variety of living situations. Petit doesn’t have any major demands and would thrive in a loving home where she can relax, play, and be showered with affection. If you think Petit could be the perfect addition to your family, don’t miss the chance to give this wonderful pup the forever home she deserves. 💕
