Bichon Frise and Maltese Dogs Available for Adoption in Canfield, Ohio

The ultimate in a rags to riches story - or it will be as soon as this boy finds his forever home. Meet Rocket! He is an approximately 7 year old male Maltese/Bichon mix, who weighs in at approximately 9.2 pounds. Rocket was brought to Angels by a Good Samaritan as a stray who was as dirty as can be and matted to the skin(see comments for before photo). She had found him sitting in the rain on the side of the road. It was obvious to all that nobody had cared for this boy in awhile, but when 10 days passed without a peep from anyone, we knew for sure. We just can’t figure out Why?!!?! Besides being tiny and adorable, Rocket has one of the most amazing temperaments we’ve ever seen. Talk about good natured and going with the flow! Do you think he complained about getting that huge hair cut? Nope! Not once. We know it wasn’t comfortable for him but he didn’t complain not even ONCE! We don’t know much about Rocket’s past - at some point someone helped him to become the kind and delightful boy he is today, we just don’t know what happened in between then and now. We think he would do well in a home with just about anyone. Due to his size, we do require a home with kids who are 8 and up. He could probably be fine with one or more dogs in the home, but a meet and greet with any resident canines would be required. Cats shouldn’t be a problem, most of them are bigger than he is anyway! We do not know if he is house trained (he does seem to be pee pad trained to some extent) but this boy is smart enough to get the whole going outside thing very quickly! He seems to be pretty well crate trained, and rides well in the car. This little dude is a GEM! His huge personality, joy for life and sweet demeanor along with all the tiny kisses he gives, will melt your heart. If you are interested in Rocket, we are currently accepting applications.
