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.

Milo-1 – Pittsburg, PA
(PLEASE INDICATE MILO-1 ON APPLICATION)
***Due to Milo’s age; applicants must be under the age of 62 per our policy***
Milo is ready for his forever home! Milo is a 6.5 pound, 5-month-old puppy who is as sweet as he is playful.
Like any young puppy, Milo is still learning the ropes. He is currently working on potty training, crate training, and is learning puppy manners. He prefers to sleep in his covered bedroom crate in his foster home. He does well while seated in his car seat on car rides. He did excellent during his first grooming appointment.
Milo is social, very energetic, and full of puppy personality. He loves playing with other dogs, romping around with his toys, chomping on his chew toys and being part of the action. He’s expected to be less than 10 pounds when fully grown. He seems to love people and has been around respectful older children.
He would be okay as an only dog since he is so young, but he would love another dog friend with similar energy level to play with. A home with a fenced in yard would be best so he can show off his zoomies and work off some of that puppy energy! He enjoys his outside time
He’s eager to learn, loves treats and will need a family who is ready for all the fun, patience, and training that comes with puppyhood.
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.

Bigue (pronounced bee-jhoo) – Racine, WI
Bigue is happiest when he’s right by his person’s side. He follows his foster mom from room to room and has even been known to gently nudge the shower curtain aside just to make sure she’s still there. While he can be cautious around unfamiliar men inside the home, Bigue warms up with time, patience, and a little trust.
Bigue has gotten along well with his foster sisters. However, he does not like sharing his favorite treasures.
Inside the home, Bigue has excellent manners. He appears to be potty trained, has not attempted to mark indoors, and sits patiently for grooming sessions—an important skill for a Poodle mix whose coat requires regular brushing to prevent matting. He’s not a fan of being kenneled.
He is great on walks, and he also loves spending time in the yard with the family, keeping a watchful eye on birds and rabbits while plotting how he might catch them someday.
Because he can be vocal when left alone, a homeowner would likely be a better fit than an apartment or rental situation with close neighbors.
His perfect match is an active person or family who enjoys daily walks and wants a loyal sidekick for life’s adventures. While Bigue enjoys other dogs socially, he would thrive as the only dog in the home.
In return, Bigue promises endless cuddles, unwavering loyalty, and enough love to fill a house many times his size.
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.
