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.

Maude – Beloit, WI

Maude is a approximately 5 years old and about 6 pounds. She is small in stature but big at heart and in personality. Maude to snuggle and play but really enjoys going on multiple walks per day. She can be talkative on her walks and is not a fan of larger dogs, she will bark and let them know not to come near her.

Maude has a keen interest in the neighborhood wildlife; chipmunks, deer, squirrels and rabbits. A fenced in yard would be ideal but not a must.
Maude has free run in her foster home, never kept in crate, not sure how she would do. She sleeps with her foster parents at night – loves to burrow under the blankets and curl up next to you.

If you are looking for a warm cuddle buddy this winter think about Maude.

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.

Ariel – Cottage Grove, WI

Ariel is a darling, petite Maltese (or Maltese mix), about 5 years old, and 5.5 pounds of pure charm. This little lady is bursting with energy and intelligence! Sometimes she’s in the middle of the action; other times, she’s happy just curled up in your lap.
An Indoor Star: Ariel is looking for a special home that will appreciate her preference for staying warm and cozy inside. She is a mostly pad-trained pro, and continually improving as she gets to know her environment. She’s not a fan of going outside. If you’re looking for a companion who enjoys her exercise indoors, and likes snuggles over long walks, Ariel is your girl.
Social and Smart: She is confident and resilient, and despite being new to her foster pack, she eagerly did her best to fit right in. She likes the occasional game of chase, and has bursts of zoomies. We think Ariel would thrive with other friendly dogs, or be content as the center of attention in a one-dog home.
​Though she is particular about her menu, she eats well, and has put on half a pound in the past three weeks!
​Miss Ariel is a smart little cutie, ready to steal your heart and light up your home with her unique sparkle.

All of our dogs have had complete physical/medical exam. Treated for any issues presented, vaccinated, spayed/neutered as well as being 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.
