Maltese and Poodle Dogs Available for Adoption in Fort Myers, Florida

Hello, my name is Barkis! I am the last of a litter of maltipoo puppies that were owner surrendered to GOFAR. I was the shyest of the group, so my foster mama spent some extra time with me helping me become more confident and social. Now, I am all ready to find my very own family!

I am almost 3 months old now. I appear to be a maltipoo- best guess- and expected to stay pretty small. I am very sweet and have a gentle personality. There are other dogs and even some kittens at the foster home- and I am getting along great with everyone.

My adoption fee is more than the other puppies and dogs at my rescue, but I'm told that I'm a more 'desirable' puppy than my other friends who are not as fortunate and will be at the rescue much longer than me, waiting for their forever home. My adopter will know that their fee will be helping support the other 200 or so animals at the rescue and not lining a breeder's pockets.

My $1500 adoption fee includes vet exam, up to date vaccines, deworming, initial grooming, microchip, and neuter at one of my rescue's vets (Fort Myers, Port Charlotte, Naples, Miami or Orlando) when I'm closer to 6 months of age. If you are interested in adopting me, please complete a free, non-binding application at www.gofar.dog under Adopt as little ones like me get adopted quickly.If you have questions, email my rescue at adoptions@gofar.dog. If you'd like to experience all the love I have, and want to make me part of your family, please complete the adoption application by pasting this link into your browser:
