Story
Meet Biscotti! Biscotti is a 1 year old 20 lb handsome pup with a heart of gold—but he takes his time showing it. He’s wary of strangers and isn’t a fan of loud noises or sudden movements, so he’s looking for a calm, patient adopter who understands that trust isn’t built overnight. Once Biscotti feels safe, he’s a loyal and loving companion who enjoys quiet moments and gentle affection. He does great with other dogs knows sit and is potty trained and loves to play with toys especially fetch. Because of his sensitive nature, he’d do best in a home without small children. If you’re willing to give him the time and space he needs, Biscotti will reward you with a lifetime of love and devotion. Could you be the one he’s waiting for? To meet Biscotti, please fill out an application!   Application available at https://www.pawsofloverescue.com/adoption-application.  Adoption fee of $275 includes neuter/spay, microchip, heartworm testing, deworming, vaccinations, and other necessary procedures.  Applications without a phone number will not be processed.Applications can be found online at www.pawsofloverescue.com, under the adopt tab.  We require an approved application before a meet and greet is set up.  March 24, 2025, 11:13 am

Story
Meet Toto!Toto is a sweet, older gentleman who loves nothing more than curling up in your lap or snoozing in his bed. Despite his age, he still has a playful side and enjoys having fun with his stuffed animals. His happy little personality is sure to bring a smile to your face!Due to his age, Toto has some weakness in his hind end. He still likes to get up and move around, but long hikes and stairs aren’t the best fit for him. If your home has steps, he’s small enough to be carried in and out with ease.Toto recently underwent major surgery and has recovered beautifully. To stay healthy, he’s on a special urinary diet, which helps prevent bladder stones from returning. He doesn’t mind sticking to his special food, and it keeps him feeling his best. He prefers going potty outside but wore potty pants indoors during his recovery period. Now that he’s feeling better, he’s ready to find his forever home where he can enjoy his golden years in comfort and love.To set up a meet and greet or inquire about a dog, please first fill out an application at https://savinghoperescue.org/adopt. It doesn`t obligate you, but it is the first step. We don`t get to all of the inquiries but respond to all applications. Thank you for choosing to rescue!

Story
Here’s a sweet adoption bio for Cashew:     ---   Meet Cashew! This tiny 4-pound Maltese may be small in size, but he’s overflowing with love and sweetness. Cashew is a total lovebug who wants nothing more than to be your constant companion—your little pocket pup who goes everywhere with you. He rides great in the car, is crate trained, and is working hard on potty training in his foster home.   Cashew has been through a lot. After suffering a serious injury, one of his legs had to be amputated—but don’t worry, he doesn’t let that slow him down one bit! He hops along happily, keeping up with the other dogs like a champ. His resilience is just as impressive as his affectionate nature.   Because of his tiny size, Cashew needs a home without small children to keep him safe. What he needs most is a family who will shower him with love and never let him feel alone again. If you’re looking for a devoted little buddy who will melt into your arms and follow you to the ends of the earth, Cashew is your guy.

Meet Gianna, a sweet two-year-old Maltese mix looking for her forever home. Gianna is crate-trained, gets along well with other dogs and cats, and doesn’t mind children over the age of 8.

Are you ready to open your heart and home to this gentle girl? Gianna is crate trained but not fully housebroken at this time.
