Story
Archie is a 10-lb. male Maltese who came from difficult beginnings in a commercial breeding facility. Many things are new and scary to him, but after just a few weeks in his foster home, he has made great progress. He is completely potty trained, provided he can be let outside every few hours. He is very shy about being picked up and tends to run away, but is getting better with some gentle coaxing. He loves getting ear scratches and soft pets when he's brave enough to approach--and if you're on the couch, he'll put his paws on your leg to let you know he'd like to sit with you. Archie is a ladies man, so would prefer a woman who can be home most of the day to build trust and maintain consistency with his potty routine. He has recently started leash walking, and enjoys meandering through the neighborhood to explore new sights, smells and sounds. He would love to have a fur brother or sister to accompany him on walks, help provide comfort when left alone, and teach Archie the joy of being a cherished family member. He also needs a home with no small children, as he is extremely fearful of loud noises and quick movements. A fenced yard would be a big plus as Archie loves to explore, chase squirrels, and get his zoomies out!
The suggested adoption donation for Archie is $250. We are a 501c3 organization which means that your donation may be TAX DEDUCTIBLE. Your donation goes toward the high cost of veterinary care for our animals in rescue, as well as providing supportive services to animals in homes.
Information about the adoption process: All adoptions require a completed ADOPTION APPLICATION. Once your application is approved, we will put you in touch with the dog’s foster to see if you and the pet are a good match. If so, we will arrange a meeting for you and the pet. The adoptions for all of our animals will take place in the Omaha, NE area and must be done by the adoptive family in person. We do not ship or deliver.
Please Note: We are a RESCUE, which is different from a shelter. We conduct veterinary and personal reference checks during the application approval process. We always select the right applicant for each dog, based on the dog’s needs. If you and the dog are not a good match, we will help you select another dog, or we will keep your approved application on file for 6 months.
