Our vet has recommended that all dogs under 6 months not to spay or neuter the pups because they are too young and their bodies are not fully developed. Adoption donation includes transport and all vaccinations, except for the Lyme—therefore, the dogs will not need to get any vaccinations for the first
ADOPTED ON 05-13-22: Rescue dogs are usually found in awful medical and emotional condition. Their stories are heartbreaking and stay with us and their adopted owners. We all work hard to make that happy ending for them.
However, there is a new rescue story that has emerged due to surging prices, everything is getting more expensive. Transportation, gas, household furnishing, used cars, travel, food and health are just to name a few consumer prices have grown steadily. The ongoing pandemic has complicated supply chains, limiting supply, even as demand for goods soars. Overall, consumer prices rose 5% last month over the previous May — the biggest jump since the summer of 2008 and more than the predicted 4.7% increase.
Dog ownership is new to the list of things and very difficult for those that make the decision that they cannot afford to keep their dogs. Rescues are a resource for the owners that love their animals and hope that they can find a loving home that they can no longer provide for them. Meet Kate, a 7lb Maltese that needs to be rehomed due to surging prices.
KATE SWEET GIRL
Kate is easy going in her foster home but she can quickly spring into action and move with grace and speed when invited. She is extremely affectionate with all the family members and has an average activity level. That combination makes for a wonderful companion for a family with children, however, we always stress that no dog or child should be left unsupervised.
Kate’s Name: Kate is a traditionally feminine name meaning “pure” or “clear.” Kate originates from the Latin “Katherine”. Dogs named Kate tend to be good-natured, conscientious, and loving. This feminine name is also associated with companionship.
Katherine has more syllables than most dog names, but you can easily give your pup a nickname to shorten things, like Kate. The name also ends in a vowel sound, so it’s easy for dogs to recognize. Kathe is not a used much for dogs, however, it is great for dogs to distinguish it when you call them.
KATE LOOKING AT MOM.
Maltese Dog Breed: The Maltese are a proud members of the toy dog category, best known for its exceptionally small size. They are well-known for their great personality. This breed is loyal, loving, sweet, and friendly. They are also intelligent and easy to train. These qualities make them an excellent companion dog for patients diagnosed with separation anxiety and other mental health issues. Maltese are quite adaptable to their environment and can thrive and live a long time if they’re well taken care of.
Overall, Maltese dogs are a loyal, gentle, and loving breed. They don’t shy away from expressing their love for you by cuddling, licking, and sitting on your lap. They are also extremely social and calm. Unlike other breeds, Maltese doesn’t bark aggressively at strangers and other animals. They are so friendly that they can easily get along with new people and other dogs.
Lastly, Maltese dogs are smart and obedient. They are trainable and easy to motivate through positive reinforcement. These dogs also have the talent to recognize the feelings and moods of their owners.
