     Within an hour of posting Buddy, an overwhelming amount of emails and phone calls came through. The sweetest, and saddest stories were shared among the interested parties. All were worthy of will Buddy be a part of their loving home, but I was taken in by a sweet lady who lost her Maltipoo and wanted Buddy to fill the void. As painful as it was to kiss him goodbye and put him in their car, I know he will live the rest of his days with the love and attention he so deserves. Thank you Rescue Me for having a wonderful, caring following. May they all have their dreams of having their forever pet come true .

     Meet Binx! I am so proud to announce that he has found his furever home with my husband and myself. Binx is such a sweetheart! He loves to ride in the car, good thing for that, as we also have a home in Florida that he will visit for Christmas! Binx is such a grateful Lil guy. He jumps up in my lap in the rocking chair and makes the cutest Lil noises like he is so overjoyed to have found a loving family to live with! He joins a little brother, Bentley the Shih Tzu mix. They, together have so much fun romping and playing throughout the day and evening. I am a 'stay-at-home' animal Mom, so they have the luxury of not being crated during the day. The first night Binx arrived (last night to be precise), we purchased a humongous big dog 'tent' for him to sleep in. Being it was just his first night in his new home, we didn't room both the boys together. In just a 24 hour period, the boys have decided that they are pretty tired from yesterday's playing until they dropped, so today, is a lay in the sun and sleep kinda day as it streams into the kitchen window onto the floor! As we love, stories with happy endings, this, truly is one of those stories! Thank you Rescue Me for posting this sweet little dog! We love him already, and he has shown his love to us upon meeting him at the rescue! May your kindness be blessed in many ways for all that you do for the Malteses that need your help to find their furever homes!

     Thank you, Rescue Me! I have had Kiki for about a week now. She is the sweetest little Maltese I have ever seen. She loves to be loved on, have belly rubs, the whole works. She is the best of bed partners. I had been without my two Maltese for a year now since they died of old age. It was lonely without them, but Kiki has certainly filled that void. Thanks so much to the Coleman family for allowing me to take her. She is being treated like the little Princess that she is.

Thank you so much, Rescue Me! I will highly recommend you to everyone I know. Your website was very easy to navigate and download my picture. I will make sure to donate the fee to you. I can't tell you how relieved I am to know Peanut is in a wonderful home.

     I am happy that I found Susie Q. She is a very sweet little dog. Her little tongue sticks out, which is adorable! She is great is the car, and sleeps tight every night in my bed next to me. I got her for my little Shitz Tsu that I rescued about four months ago. They get along great and like laying in their beds together. I think Susie Q had been through a lot before she was rescued. She will never have to go through anything again. She will get groomed, fed, and all the medical attention she needs from me. I love her and will protect her forever! I did rename her Maggie. Susie Q is in her forever home and doing great. Thank you, Rescue Me!

     I adopted 'Willie' today. I lost my 15 year old Cocker Spaniel and was heartbroken, but also realized that 'Colby' would want to continue to rescue animals just as I did with him. And that is exactly what I did, though he will never replace my Colby, he will receive just as much love and care as I can provide. I am so excited that I found such a wonderful dog. This would not have been possible with Rescue Me! Thank you!!!!

     Bob and I lost our boy Buddy. Our hearts were broken until we met our girls Cookie and Cupcake. We all had an instant connection. I knew their pain and they knew mine. That was the longest ride home. I tried not to cry, but to trust God for the outcome. We told Joanne that we wanted the best thing for these girls and we would try to be patient while she made a decision. The next morning I received a text message telling us that the girls were ours and they would be delivering them to us on Saturday. I never knew two little girls could have so much stuff. What a blessing my sweet little angels are. They, of course, slept with us that Saturday night and we all slept like babies. My girls are worth every day, minute, hour and months we waited. Thank you just doesn't say enough about how grateful we are to Rescue Me! Our family is now complete again.

We spoke by phone and I decided to take Mac before seeing him in person. Was I crazy? Maybe, but we fell in love with him at first sight. He is working on potty training, and loves to cuddle. He is doing well with our two other dogs. No regrets!

     Snoopy was given to a sister of a lady who saw Snoopy on Rescue Me. She contacted us and he was given to the lady tonight. The site did bring attention to our baby. Because of a medical need to give our baby away, he was given to a very nice woman who can give him more care than we can with our current situation. I wish the circumstances were different because I would not have let him go and kept him. Sometimes you have to think about the quality of care of loved ones and not just be selfish to hang on. Snoopy will get so much love and I know that will be great for him. Thank you for your site. -Dawn

     After our beloved Gordon (American Eskimo) passed away, we were devastated. That's why we knew it would be helpful if we could adopt a dog to brighten up our life and to bring back the smile in our household. After long research, I found Rescue Me. The site that made it all happen!!! I am amazed how professional and quick this organization works. I found Fluffy (a five year old white Maltese) on this site the same day and I fell in love with him instantly!! Fluffy's foster mom was very informative, kind and very helpful. Immediately scheduled our first meeting with Fluffy, and it was phenomenal one! Fluffy and I bonded instantly. After a very smooth and quick adoption process, we took him to his forever Home. Fluffy is great, he is doing extremely well! Our cat is also fascinated by him along with the rest of the family. Fluffy is adjusting very well and he seems to be very happy. We are so happy with him!. He is running around happily, playing with everyone, sleeping next to me all the time. Everyone is in love with him. He is very good and well behaved and very positive and happy dog. He brought our smiles back after our Gordon passed away. We are extremely happy and over the Moon!! Thank you, Rescue Me, for making this happen. Thank you for helping us find our Fluffy and for helping us find happiness again. We are one happy family- thanks to you, Rescue Me. -Magdalena.

I will spread the word about your website. Heartbreaking, but I am at peace with my decision since it is in his best interest. His new parents told me I was welcome to visit him. He will be living about three hours north of me, so it is a possibility that I will get an opportunity to do just that. I would love to see him well taken care of and happy in his new forever home.

     Louis was adopted out to a loving home. I was impressed with the number a quality of applicants requesting the opportunity to adopt Louis. The family who adopted him wanted a companion for their tea cup Yorkie and brought the dog to meet Louis. At first it was a little strained with Louis growling, but after about ten minutes, he became more accepting and wanted to play with the little Yorkie. The family drove two hours late in the evening to meet Louis. I am very happy with the outcome and also surprised at the ease of the adoption through Rescue Me.

     Dear Mr Gold, Thank you so very much for having a 'Rescue Me'. It's the best way to look for a pet. I adopted the most darling little Morkie (maltese/yorkie) through a wonderful rescue center who posts through Rescue Me. Bless all of you who take part in helping to save these precious animals and give people the opportunity to find their new buddy as well.

     My dog Maxwell was in need of someone who could walk him and love him as I did. I rescued him from a shelter where he would have been put down. I saw the jewel behind the matted coat and scared eyes in this dog and adopted him in 2012. I took him home, groomed him and got his shots up to date. I loved him for the following years. However, my husband got really sick and it was hard to take care of him and all my other animals. Maxwell was not getting the attention he needs.. He needed to be walked to lose his weight. I have RA and its hard for me to do that. So I posted him on Rescue Me. Within two days, I had people wanting to adopt him. He is a beautiful dog and I really appreciate this site. Thanks Rescue Me for helping Maxwell find his new home where I know he will be taken care of.

     We adopted Charlie. Within hours, he adapted to his new family and especially his new brother Tinker (the cat). Even though he is considered an 'inside dog' he loves his new life on our farm. He loves car rides to town, and especially riding around the farm with Papa on the golf cart. Most days you will find him cuddled up on couch and cuddled up on the bed at bedtime. When he came to us most of his hair was gone due to severe flea allergies and subsequent yeast infection, not to mention severely infected ears. After several trips to the vet, he is finally on the road to recovery. He is so very lovable even though he obviously endured a hard life. Charlie has brought so much joy to all of our lives and WE ALL love him so very, very much. Thank you, Rescue Me, for sending Charlie our way. When I look at him I am filled with such love and happiness. It is hard to imagine him ever being fearful, shy or snappy. He never shows that side to any of us. He is just so lovable and sweet.

     I've used three other websites other than Rescue Me, but never had any inquiries. As soon as I posted on Rescue Me, I received many calls and emails. I found a good home for my puppy thanks to Rescue Me in less than one week. Thank you!!

     My last Maltese is with my husband who resides in a senior facility now. I have missed having a Maltese to walk, so put my information on Rescue Me. I buried one of my cats so was still grieving when this site sent me an alert on this puppy. We connected and now spent my first night with Bella and was out walking this morning! She will probably be my final dog, as I am getting older, and she will always be on a pedestal from now on.

     We needed a new home for our sweet little Ricci, as she was not bonding with everyone in the family. Her posting was only up a matter of hours before we had three inquiries! Her new forever home should be just the thing to keep her happy. While we were sad to say goodbye, we know we made the right decision. All the best to Ricci and her new family! Thanks, Rescue Me.

     Thank you, Rescue Me. It is with great pride that I am announcing that Hunter and Daisy have a new forever home TOGETHER!! As hard as it was, I made a promise to their previous mom, who couldn't take care of them anymore because of her long term illness, that I would keep them together and find the best, most loving home ever. And I did it through blood, sweat and tears. Tomorrow they will get picked up by their new family who drove 20 hours here, now that's dedication!! Thank you so much Gwen from Second Chance, who did the home check for me in another state!! I couldn't have made this decision without Gwen!!

     Having lost our Gizmo to illness at 11 years old, it took some time to find another perfect fit for us. Not only did we want another Maltese but it was important to us to give a forever home to a dog who needed one. After searching numerous sites I stumbled on Rescue Me and watched for several weeks before Spike showed up. I contacted his previous human who has some changes going on in her life and cared enough to make Spikes well being her priority. We met and took to little Spike right away! One week later he is adjusting to life in the country and seems happy in our home. I appreciate that Rescue Me allows owners to post directly to their site, enabling those interested in adopting to be in touch directly. Angelica and I have been in touch off and on since Spike came to live with us which I believe makes his transition easier. She answers any questions I may have about his habits and preferences while she checks to see what he is up to and that he is comfortable in his new environment. Another successful match, thank you Rescue Me!

     I picked up 'Joseph' yesterday. I knew he was meant for me as soon as I saw him, because tears rolled down my face. He clung to me, and we bonded really fast. I have renamed him Shadow, because that is just what he is. He has such personality. We have gone shopping twice since yesterday. Although listed as a Maltese, I think he has a lot of Yorkie in him. Thank you, Rescue Me.

     Thank you to Rescue Me! for helping me in adopting Tebo! I had another 15 year old dog I had to put down recently due to a massive mass on her liver. She was my best friend. I was sad and lonely as I began to search for a new dog. Then I came across Tebo. He seemed like a nice dog. So I decided to meet him. It was love at first pet. Rescue Me! was hugely instrumental in helping me find and meet sweet little Tebo. I adopted him shortly after meeting him. He is currently getting over a mild case of kennel cough, but he should be home with us soon. Sometime next week I imagine. I can scarcely contain myself because I am so happy. Thank you for your assistance in helping me find Tebo.

     I recently had to put down my old dog after 15 years together because she was sick. I was missing her companionship terribly, so I started searching the internet for various dog breeds that might be suitable for me and my family. That is when I stumbled across Rescue Me! With their help I found a few likely candidates for a new dog. Then I saw a photo of Tebo. I decided to investigate this cute little guy further. To my delight, he met all the criteria we were looking for: a sweet, gentle dog that does not shed much and is good with children. I went to meet Tebo, and he and I became friends quickly. He was just as sweet and gentle as his information said. I am very happy with this adorable little dog. I thank Rescue Me! and the Arizona Small Dog Rescue for their help in helping me and my new friend find each other.

     Daisy & Teddy were adopted today by a lovely family of two sisters and one young daughter. They came immediately and drove an hour & 1/2 to see them and it was the most beautiful thing. I felt this beautiful family had been an answer to my grandmother and my prayers. They walked them a bit and we all went over to my grandmothers nursing home to introduce grandma to Daisy & Teddy's new family. My grandma couldn't have been more happy. She didn't really have words to express how happy she was the little loves of her life were going to a new home. They told us that they would keep in touch via Facebook and would bring them for visits anytime grandma wants. Thank you! You really did save many life's today, what a great service!

     Hi Jeff, She was adopted by a wonderful family. I carried her there myself to verify it would be a good fit. She was playing with their other babies having the time of her life. This is the best website if you care about baby and want to make sure that baby has a great home. I will recommend Rescue Me! to anyone looking to rehome, or looking to get a new baby. I have spoken with so many wonderful people, I almost wished I had a baby for each of them. Thank You, Mary

     First, wanted to start by thanking the staff of Rescue Me! for their work and dedication! The site Rescue Me has been a huge asset in find homes for many of our animals within our small rescue. While we only have 40 animals that are ready for adoption at a time, the Rescue Me! site has given us the highest response from potential adopters out of the three sites we use. This site also makes it easier for us to identify who a potential adopter is interested in. After Christmas I received a wave of emails on a number of our animals, Blossom a Poodle/Maltese mix being one of them! While sorting through applicants and emails, one family was very persistent and patient with us. When it came to our adoption event day, I emailed and called a few of the families that I believed would be a good fit for her, and shared our location hoping a couple of them would at least come meet her. The Sweeney family came - the whole family - grand parents, parents and grandkids, all of them fell in love with her even with her pink Mohawk reminiscent from the previous weekend of being dolled up to parade around Glendale Glitters. After sharing with them her story of rescue, her accomplishments and a couple things we hoped they would continue working on, and some friendly advice from a partnered behavioral trainer that was there for the day, the Sweeney family adopted Blossom! We couldn't be happier with the match! As we all know any adoption is bitter sweet, but leaves a foster home open for the next animal to learn to love again, and find their forever home! Thank you again, Rescue Me! Chasity Cross, Mavyn Animal Rescue, Behavioral Training Director

     After contacting several rescues in our area, it became apparent that it is very difficult to get a dog placed with a rescue organization due to the lack of available space. I came across Rescue Me! during my search. This was the only site I found that allowed me to post my pet myself. It took just over a week for Mel to be adopted by a wonderful couple.

     I am so grateful that I found Rescue Me! when we rescued this little girl. We found her wandering in our neighborhood. This area is known for coyotes and the ending would not have been good for this sweet girl. I no sooner put her up on Rescue Me!, and I had numerous calls and emails all from compassionate people wanting to adopt her and give her a new forever home. I am sad that we couldn't track down her original owners, but what a great outcome. Thank you, Rescue Me!

     After we had made the difficult decision to rehome our Maltese, we were only concerned in finding her the best home. I posted her on the Rescue Me! site and had a number of responses very quickly. I chose Tom and Lorraine, and they came to visit with us later that day. I thought they would be a great couple to care and love our dog. Thank you for helping us find our dog a new and wonderful family!

     Jeff, I want to thank you for Rescue Me! I Love my Coconut and Pumpkin, but because of various reasons I decided to give them up, I miss them terribly. Phyllis adopted them. We meet on Saturday in a halfway point between her home and mine. She contacted me within an hour of posting on Rescue Me! We spoke several times and I feel at peace giving her my boys. She is retired military and she has the time to dedicate to them. I am single and need to work a second job and Pumpkin and Coconut already spend too much time in their kennels. It has been a struggle financially to keep up with their everyday care, grooming and shots. I prayed for two years so I could get to a place where I could give them up. Every time I thought or said I was, I would break down. I love them so much, but I had to sacrifice in order to give them a better life. They deserve it. Phyllis and I are going to keep in contact. She said I could visit them. I told Pumpkin and Coconut about Phyllis and why they were going to live with her. I think they understood. I swear they did and they were ok with it. When Phyllis opened her car door they hopped in and were very happy. At home no one could even walked them because they would not go out without me. It's amazing. Thank you again. Maria Irizarry
