If you would like the first opportunity to adopt, please fill out an application to be considered. Adoption Fee: $750 Meet Glo-Worm – Your Mellow, Moppy, Magical Companion! With his bright white coat and freshly groomed charm, Glo-Worm is a little cloud of love waiting for his forever home. As a 5 year old Maltipoo (Maltese-Poodle mix), his soft, non-shedding coat makes him an excellent choice for allergy-sensitive households—or for anyone who simply prefers a pup that doesn’t leave fur behind! From the moment he arrived in his foster home, Glo-Worm fit in like he had always been there. He confidently explored the backyard, made himself comfortable among the two large resident dogs, and quickly became a little shadow to his foster mom. If you work from home, expect a quiet, cuddly office buddy who will happily snooze nearby while you type away. He’s not overly playful with the other dogs, but he gets along just fine, setting polite boundaries with the younger, more rambunctious pup in the house. And while he doesn’t need constant attention, he does believe he should be allowed to sit next to you on the couch…or at the dining table…or on your lap. A Day in the Life of Glo-Worm 6:00 AM – Early Riser in TrainingGlo-Worm starts the day with a few polite whines to be let outside. His foster mom is working on syncing his routine with the other dogs, so he’s learning to wait until 7 AM, but he’s just so excited for breakfast! 7:00 AM – Breakfast & Nap TimeBreakfast is served—moist kibble with a little soft food mixed in (because plain dry kibble is not up to his standards). Afterward, he takes a well-earned nap in his foster mom’s home office while she works. 10:30 AM – Neighborhood Walk & ExcitementThis is where Glo-Worm really lights up! He loves his daily walks and trots along with enthusiasm, never pulling or barking at passing dogs. It’s the perfect mix of adventure and exercise before another well-deserved nap. 5:00 PM – Dinner TimeAnother delicious meal, prepared just the way he likes it. After eating, he settles into his dog bed while the humans enjoy their own dinner, ever the polite little gentleman. 6:30 PM – Evening LoungingGlo-Worm enjoys winding down with the family, whether it’s curling up with a blanket (he’s especially patient when his 6-year-old foster sibling tucks him in) or quietly hanging out while the resident dogs play. 8:00 PM – BedtimeGlo-Worm happily heads to his crate for the night, sleeping soundly until it’s time to do it all again! The Perfect Home for Glo-Worm Glo-Worm would thrive in a home where he can be the center of attention—whether as a solo dog or with a calm companion. He’d love an adopter who works from home, as he enjoys being near his person. That said, he does well when crated for a few hours if you need to run errands. He’s already housetrained, crate-trained, and even mastered the doggy door. He’s not much of a barker except when someone’s outside the door, making him an excellent little watchdog. He mostly ignores the resident cat (aside from one dramatic bark), so he’d likely be fine with a dog-savvy feline. Why Adopt Glo-Worm? Glo-Worm is easygoing, affectionate, and already trained—no puppy antics here! He’s the perfect mix of independent and cuddly, equally happy following you around or curling up for a cozy nap. And let’s be honest—after his fresh groom, he looks like a mini Falcor from The NeverEnding Story (and who wouldn’t want a luck dragon of their own?). If you’re looking for a low-maintenance, loving companion who brightens up every room he enters, Glo-Worm is ready to light up your life!March 7, 2025, 3:33 pm
