Francesca Caccini Adult Female
Lhasa Apso
Francesca Caccini is a beautiful brown Lhasa Apso. She is 3 years old and weighs 13 pounds. Those are the statistics, but there is so
much more to Francesca. She is very sweet but is unsure of herself after spending her first years in a large-scale breeding operation
in another state. Now, she has the chance to learn about life with a loving family. With many years still ahead of her, she deserves

Francesca Caccini, please.

Sorley
adult male Chihuahua (Terrier)
What a story Sorley has to tell! If only he could speak Human. His name means “Summer Traveler” and, well, we guess
he was! Sorley has a tan, wiry coat and is about a year old. He came to us from a fellow agency
who nursed him to his current excellent health --- after he spent the first nine months of his life
fending for himself in the world with his mother. Thin, covered in mange and wary of people three months
ago, Sonny is now a handsome, healthy and social 12-pound Chihuahua/Terrier mix. His mother has been
placed, and now Sorley is looking for his own forever home. He is leash- and crate-trained, rides well
in a car and gets along great with other dogs. He’s still a bit shy, but does well with people---especially
women. Because of his size and his history, we're seeking an adult-only home for Sorley.

Amos Andy young male Basenji (Mix)
Look into those soulful eyes! To know this special boy is to love him. Amos Andy is a sleek, handsome 30-pound Basenji mix.
He came to SmallDog Rescue as a fearful nine-month-old pup, the victim of mistreatment in his critical early life. He was
embraced here by friends who believed in him and took the time to teach him that there are people in the world he can trust.
In foster care, Amos blossomed into a loyal boy with lots of love to give. He is two years old now and ready for the right
forever home. Amos would much rather be with his people than outside, but he also really enjoys a good game of chase or tussle
with his four-legged playmates. Amos may be a mix, but he’s all Basenji – with the interesting quirks that entails. He is still
shy in unfamiliar situations, and it takes him a while to trust, but he is extremely smart and eager to learn. He greets his people
with a happy, wagging tail and sloppy kisses. He gets along great with other dogs, although he is a little intimidated by much larger
dogs. Amos would do best in a home with another compatible dog to pal around with, but NO CATS. He must have a securely fenced yard
to run around in. Amos needs an experienced, patient, caring, all-adult home, or one with easygoing, dog-savvy older children, to
show him how much fun being a much-loved pet can be!

We call this tiny gentleman Chopin. He is a very petite Yorkshire Terrier who tips the scales at only about 3½ pounds. He’s a shy,
sweet little man who has spent his 6 years of life in a large-scale breeding operation in another state. That outfit released a number of
dogs recently and we received some of them, including Chopin. He’s not entirely sure of himself right now, but Chopin is gradually
gaining confidence and will make someone a companion who’s easy to love someday soon. First, it’s time to nurse this tiny fellow back
to good health, then find him his forever home. No small children for Chopin, now or in the future.

itty-bitty dogs who came to SmallDog Rescue from a large-scale breeder that recently shut down its operation. He is very sweet but
lacks confidence with people. However, Carlo is extremely comfortable with his like-sized canine companions. Carlo would no doubt
do best in a home with at least one other dog to show him the drill. He needs a calm, dog-savvy home with the patience to help him
come out of his shell. Due to his small size and history, no small children for Carlo Antonio Campioni, no or in the future.

Milo Meltaway young male Pug (Beagle)
Milo came to SDR after losing 2 homes through no fault of his own. Milo is 3 years old and weighs about 30lbs (he’s shed over 10lbs
on the SDR diet plan!). He is a “Puggle,” half-beagle, half-pug, and you can tell, too! He has the sense of humor of a pug: he loves
to play with toys, chew nylabones, and play with other dogs. When his foster parents put a leash on him for a walk, he will take the
end of the leash and trot around the room walking himself in anticipation. He is truly a pug-like clown. He’s also half-beagle, with
the bay of beagle (so no apartments, please!), and the dogged determination of a beagle. He’s a smart boy that knows “sit,” and, to
the endless amusement of his foster parents, he can catch a treat in the air tossed to him from amazing distances. All he wants is
someone to love him as much as he loves them. You could run to the post office for 20 minutes, and when you get home you will be
treated to a hero’s welcome. Milo needs a home that will appreciate what a wonderful, quirky dog he is, and he’s hoping that the
third time is a charm.

fawn with a black muzzle. Colin came to SmallDog Rescue through another rescue agency. We believe he may have

Big Bad Wolfe adult male Dachshund
Ok, so this guy isn't really that big, nor is he bad, and he's a dachshund mix, not a wolf! But, "medium shy doxie" just doesn't
have the same ring to it. Wolfie, as his foster mom calls him, is a sweet fella that can be a little shy upon meeting new people.
He is 2 years old and weighs 17 lbs. He has big, beautiful, soulfoul brown eyes. He is a total lap dog that is quiet. He gets
along great with other dogs but doesn’t require them as company. His foster mom says that he is the sweetest dog in the whole
wide world and that he is a "love bug," whatever that means. He loves to follow his foster mom around the house and when he is in
her lap, which is most of the time, he is sure to shower her with kisses. He is very smart and has pretty good house manners. Due

Rosita
adult female Poodle
Her condition left us speechless. It is beyond our comprehension how someone can let bad things happen to such a
sweet dog. Rosita came to SmallDog Rescue from a local animal shelter. The animal control staff almost euthanized
her, but shaved away her disgusting, debris-filled mats instead. What they found under the mess was a tiny, sweet,
friendly, affectionate apricot poodle whose tail wagged non-stop. She is painfully thin and suffering from advanced
cataracts – despite her age, estimated at five years old. SDR has set to work, lavishing this little angel with
TLC to bring her back to good health, so that she will be ready soon for her forever home. No small children, please, for Rosita.
We've had Rosita evaluated, and have learned that her cataracts can be repaired. See more about Rosita’s special
needs and how you can help by visiting her in our Critical Care Unit (CCU).<

| Bliss young female Chihuahua (Pure)
What we want more than anything for Bliss is that she will one day live the name we gave her. She surely deserves it,
because her first few years of life have been anything but blissful. This lovely sable brown Chihuahua is about 2 years
old and weighs 8 pounds. Bliss has been a great mom to her two pups, Paul Mitchell and Tess, but she is still quite shy
in the company of people. That’s because, until now, little Bliss has lived her life confined to a cage in a puppy mill,
forced to make litter after litter of puppies and with little or no positive human contact. It’s about time this sweet
little girl got the chance to learn that there are kind, caring people in the world. It’s happening now in her foster home,
where she has recently begun seeking human attention. Bliss will need an experienced, patient family to help her out of her
tiny shell. No small children for Bliss, now or in the future.

Yepa
adult female Poodle
Hi there! My name is Yepa. I am a 5-year-old black-and-white (parti) toy poodle
who got lost along the way. A kind stranger rescued me from a busy street. All
the more remarkable, because I'm teeny-tiny and weigh less than 4 pounds. Can you
imagine someone letting me get lost like that!? I was scared! My new friend took
me home while she looked for my owner, but she had no luck. I got along well with
her two Golden Retrievers (wow, they were big!) and even her cat. I loved sitting
in her lap and sleeping in her bed, but, unfortunately, I couldn't stay. When my
owner didn't turn up, my Good Samaritan let SmallDog Rescue take over finding me a
forever home. My name translates to “Winter Princess,” and I would love to be someone’s
princess for more than one season. How about for life?! But, please, no small children

well on a leash, comes from playtime in the yard when she’s called and gets along nicely with other dogs. Martina still has a way to go to gain confidence
in her new world. This gentle creature would do best in a calm, patient, confident home with a family willing to give her all the time she needs to feel safe.
No young children, please, for Martina. |

Terry Kay adult female Maltese (Pure)
This is Terry Kay. He’s a tiny male Maltese, weighing in at only 3 pounds. Terry is 5 years old. Until now, he
has lived with a breeder, but she got sick and couldn’t care for her dogs anymore. SmallDog Rescue took him and
several others in. Too cute for words, he’s neutered now and ready to find the home that will be his very own, forever.
Are you ready for this sweet, fun little munchkin? Due to his diminutive size, only an all-adult home for Terry Kay. |

Newman adult male
Schnauzer (Pure)
Hello, Newman.
Newman is a mature salt-and-pepper Schnauzer. He weighs roughly 18 pounds.
He's a great guy who enjoys people and gets along well with other dogs.
He came to SmallDog Rescue from a local animal shelter. Go figure
because Newman is very well-mannered and has an agreeable nature. He's not
big on tussling or playing with toys, but he does have a playful side and
gives occasional kisses. He's loyal and but not needy. When there's
activity, he likes to be near the action. When it's quiet, he could snooze
the day away. You can tell he's deep in slumber by his soft puppy snoring.
Newman has some endearing qualities that are all his own. His foster
parents have nicknamed him Babe, because when he gets excited or happy,
he'll "snort" like a little piggie. It's very cute. This Schnauzer
gentleman needs a loving family who appreciates a slightly-quirky, low-key,
loyal companion who asks for little and gives much in return. No small
children for Newman. |

Hi, there. Nice to meetcha! My name is Stuart Woods. I’m 2 years old. I weigh 5 ½ pounds. And I am a cool little
guy looking for a place to call home. Just look at me! Am I not the cutest little guy you ever saw? I bet you’d like
to take me home. Why don’t you fill out an application, and maybe, if you’re the lucky one, you’ll get to do just that.
One thing -- I’m too small for a home with small children. So, remember, adults only or maybe some older kids. |

make that happen? No small children for Marisha Pessl. |

Carl Hiassen
adult male Maltese (Pure)
What a cutie-patootie! Carl Hiassen is one of 14 Malteses who came to SmallDog Rescue
when a breeder fell ill and could no longer care for her dogs. She and her family asked
that we help find homes for all of them after we had seen to it that all were spayed or
neutered. Carl is 5 years old, friendly, and is quite a small fellow who tips the scales
at only 4 pounds. Due to his diminutive size, Carl needs an adult-only home. |

We thought it was snowing on SmallDog Rescue, but, no, it was just Mary Higgins Clark and the 13 other little Malteses who came our
way recently. Mary is a pretty, white, 5-pound girl with a sweet disposition. She is two years old. Mary would love a home where
she is the treasured little doll she deserves to be because of her extreme cuteness. If you’re lucky, it could be yours. No small
children, please for Mary Higgins Clark. |

| Clive Cussler adult male Cocker Spaniel (Poodle)
Clive Cussler (nicknamed “Dusty”) is a super nice Apricot-colored Poodle/Cocker Spaniel mix. He is 7 years old and a little underweight
at about 18 pounds. Clive arrived at SmallDog Rescue through the family of his senior owner who, sadly, fell ill and had to move into a "No Dogs"
assisted living facility. Clive was a bit confused about the loss of his home but has been taken under the wing of one of our wonderful foster
moms. He has clearly been loved and cared for. Clive knows to Sit and Down on cue and walks nicely on a leash. There’s no telling what
else he knows. He’s very friendly with all people he meets and gets along fine with other dogs. Clive is ready and waiting for his new
family to find him and take him home for good!

Alejuela
young female Shiba Inu (Mix)
We think Alajuela (aka “Allie”) is a Shiba Inu mix. Tan in color, 8 months old and weighing 10 pounds, she’s
a total sweetie, loves to cuddle and plays well with others. This precious little girl has been shuffled around
quite a bit in her short life. Her first family gave her to a neighbor, who could not keep her but wanted her
to find the perfect forever home. That’s how Allie wound up in our hands. She is still all puppy - with the energy
to match. She loves people and loves attention. Allie has all the makings of a great family dog.

Eleanor Roosevelt (Anna)
adult female Pekingese (Pure)
Anna’s story is truly one of life and death. Rescued by a fellow agency, 4 year-old Anna was a painfully thin
9 pounds, fighting malnutrition and a bad respiratory infection. Her first rescuers were successful in getting
her stable, and, with some TLC and a steady, healthy diet, SmallDog Rescue is bringing her back to full health.
No doubt the victim of poor treatment in the past, Anna came to us a very shy little girl, but the kindness of
her new friends is drawing out her happy side. What a sweetie! Her next stop - a kind and loving forever home.
No small children, please. |

| Sarchi adult male Corgi (Mix)
What a sweetheart Sarchi is! Low to the ground and laid back, this Corgi/mystery mix is black-and-white, 2 ½ years old
and weighs about 30 pounds. Sarchi (aka Lucky) was found by the side of a country road as a puppy, stuffed in a feed bag.
He was the much-loved constant companion of his elderly rescuer until she fell ill and had to move into a nursing home.
He is a little bewildered that he cannot be with her any longer, but Sarchi maintains his sweet, mellow disposition and
has won the hearts of his foster family already. This dear fellow loves people, and his favorite game is playing fetch.
He needs a forever home where someone will give him the same kind of love he received from the woman who saved him. It’s
up to SmallDog Rescue to find that special family. Is it yours?

Dr. Seuss
adult male Terrier (Mix)
We are so glad Dr. Seuss found his way to SmallDog Rescue! He is a 2-year-old, blond terrier mix who weighs about 10
pounds. He came to us through a Good Samaritan who did everything possible to find his family. No one claimed him,
so this slight, scruffy charmer was turned over to us. Dr. Seuss is a little shy and reserved at first, but he's friendly and warms
quickly to new human pals. He gets along with other dogs, too, and enjoys being where the action is. All that's missing now is
is his forever home. It could be yours! |

of the two males, but he loves tussling with his littermates and playing with toys just as much as his bigger
brother does. He should be ready to adopt in early November, but we are currently accepting applications
