We have numerous dogs at various phases of intake. They will be added once vetting is complete.

Our dogs have been fully vetted prior to becoming available for adoption. We treat all issues presented at the time of intake; full blood panels, dentals(if required), vaccinations, spayed/neutered and we microchip the dogs as well. We share all the health and life details that we have with adoptees in addition to being available to address any questions or concerns after adoption.

While you may not fully understand the reason behind every aspect of our process, we hope you will support, respect, and appreciate that every step is necessary.  Please visit our Adoption Process page for further details.

Aggie – Chicago Area – IL

Aggie is a 3-year-old soft champagne-colored golden girl who is just as sweet as can be. Aggie appears to be Maltese/Shi Tzu with such a cute little face she just melts your heart. She weighs about 7 lbs. and fits on a lap just perfectly.

When Aggie arrived at her foster home, she was so affectionate and got along with the other dogs in the house.   She has settled in as if she had lived here her whole life. She is very trusting and loves to be held. Aggie enjoys chewing a bully stick, playing with toys, zooming around in the yard and she walks beautifully on the leash. She knows the leash and gets very excited to go to the park.

Aggie is housebroken and will use a puddle pad overnight. She gives cues she needs to go outside during the day so that has been going very well.
Aggie enjoys mealtimes. She really enjoys dry kibble even more than the chicken and beef crumbles I put on the top. We feed her twice a day and she eats well.

Aggie is a very sweet little girl with a fun personality. She hardly barks at all, mostly if she is playing with the other dogs here and she wants their attention. Otherwise, not too much.

She is very well behaved. She seems to still have some puppy-energy at age 3, but nothing out of the ordinary.

All of our dogs get a complete physical/medical exam. Treated for any issues presented, the dogs are vaccinated, spayed/neutered as well as micro-chipped.

When our dogs are ready for adoption, our foster parents have had time to evaluate them and determine their needs for a new home. We have created an Adoption Process that will ensure a smooth and safe transition from our rescue to your family. Our top priority is ensuring our Maltese go to the best possible forever home.
