Maltese and Yorkshire Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Albany, New York

**WE ARE ALWAYS IN NEED OF FOSTER HOMES** Homeward Bound Dog Rescue is an all volunteer rescue organization and all our dogs and puppies are in foster homes - we are not a shelter and do NOT have a facility where we house our dogs. For adoption information go to: www.homewardbounddogrescue.com. You must fill out an application online as we do NOT accept applications at our clinics.

Bella is a 9lb., 10-month-old Morkipoo (probably Maltese — Yorkshire Terrier — Toy Poodle) puppy up-for-adoption with Homeward Bound Dog Rescue of New York. Her young owners were super well-meaning but worked LONG hours and couldn’t take care of a puppy. She is really good with other dogs, crate-trained, and super friendly. Bella has not really had any formal training so the new owners should be prepared to start from scratch. Bella LOVES zooming around her fenced yard in her foster home so priority will go to a home with a fence and plenty of time for a young dog. She should not go to a home with the elderly as she’s fast and could potentially be a trip-hazard. Bella doesn’t shed BUT will need professional grooming every 6-8 weeks so the new owners should be prepared for that added expense.

Get those apps in ASAP—she won’t last long!
