The Petfinder Inquiry will not suffice as an adoption application. <br/><br/>We do not have a physical facility — all of our dogs live in loving foster homes.<br/>Lil’ Paws is a small, all-volunteer organization. To best use our limited time and resources, we are only able to correspond with individuals who have submitted an adoption application from our website.<br/><br/>If you would like to visit with our dogs and their fosters, you might plan to attend our Meet and Greet Events which are held on the first Saturday of each month at the Pet Supplies Plus in Round Rock from noon to 2 p.m. We suggest you check our website for exact dates. <br/><br/>Pet Supplies Plus<br/>17420 Ranch to Market Rd 620 #150 <br/>Round Rock, TX 78681 <br/><br/>We are only able to adopt our dogs to those living within the immediate Austin area. Our local only adoption requirement is due to the thoroughness of our process, which includes home visits and a trial adoption period to ensure the dog has adjusted well. With our team of volunteers, it is not possible to conduct these steps outside our area. Even if you are willing to travel, we must keep our efforts local to maintain the integrity of our process.<br/><br/>Our mission is to place our dogs in safe, stable, and loving homes within the Austin area. Thank you for understanding and for supporting rescue!<br/>________________________________________<br/>Supporting Lil’ Paws<br/><br/>Lil’ Paws Maltese Rescue and Other Petite Paws relies on donations to provide the medical care our dogs need before adoption. Every pup receives essential vetting such as spaying/neutering, vaccinations, and dental care — and many require additional or even major medical treatments.<br/>Your donations make this possible.
