Hope's Story

<p>Hope is a little Maltese with a big heartand a past we can only imagine.</p><br/><br/><p>At just 34 years old and only 5 pounds Hope has already been through more than any dog should. We don't know what her life was like before rescue, but when she arrived, her left eye was horribly infected and damaged so it had to be removed. She was spayed and had her teeth cleaned as well and has been deemed a healthy girl ! </p><br/><br/><p>Thankfully, that chapter is behind her now. She has healed beautifully and is finally ready for the part of her story she has always deserved: a loving family of her own.</p><br/><br/><p>Hope will need a patient, understanding home where she can learn that she is safe, cherished, and truly loved. She enjoys having her head and belly rubbed, although when she's had enough, she'll simply wander off and find a quiet place to relax. She would be happy as your one and only, or with another small, gentle dog. Large dogs make her uncomfortable.</p><br/><br/><p>She's frightened by loud noises like vacuums, thunder, and lightning, and she's still learning that the world doesn't have to be scary. She uses potty pads and will also go outside when she has a securely fenced area. Leash walking is new to herright now, she freezesbut her foster family is patiently working with her. She's also learning "sit" and doing wonderfully!</p><br/><br/><p>And if you happen to have a tasty treat? Well Hope is VERY food motivated. Give her something that smells delicious and she'll put on an entire little song and dance to convince you she deserves it.</p><br/><br/><p>Hope doesn't need a perfect family. She needs a patient one. A family willing to show her, day by day, that gentle hands, soft voices, belly rubs, warm beds, and unconditional love are what life is supposed to feel like.</p><br/><br/><p>She has already survived the hard part.</p><br/><br/><p>Now she just needs someone to help her discover how beautiful life can be.</p><br/><br/><p>Could you be Hope's forever?</p> If you're interested in one of our dogs or would like help finding the perfect match please submit an application at: <br/><br/><br/><br/>https://forgoodrescue.net/dog-adoption/<br/><br/><br/><br/>We will not discuss details regarding any particular dog if you have not yet applied to adopt.<br/><br/><br/><br/>For Good Rescue is a 100% volunteer nonprofit organization.

Hope is a little Maltese with a big heartand a past we can only imagine.



At just 34 years old and only 5 pounds Hope has already been through more than any dog should. We don't know what her life was like before rescue, but when she arrived, her left eye was horribly infected and damaged so it had to be removed. She was spayed and had her teeth cleaned as well and has been deemed a healthy girl !



Thankfully, that chapter is behind her now. She has healed beautifully and is finally ready for the part of her story she has always deserved: a loving family of her own.



Hope will need a patient, understanding home where she can learn that she is safe, cherished, and truly loved. She enjoys having her head and belly rubbed, although when she's had enough, she'll simply wander off and find a quiet place to relax. She would be happy as your one and only, or with another small, gentle dog. Large dogs make her uncomfortable.



She's frightened by loud noises like vacuums

For Good Rescue's Adoption Policy
Ready to add a family member? For Good rescue is an all volunteer group of people dedicated to making sure we do right by each and every animal we bring in!! To ensure the best match for both the animal and the adopter, our team takes time to get to know each applicant. We start with a conversation — because we know you are more than answers on a form! After that, we contact personal references, review veterinary history, and complete a home check. This process helps us make thoughtful, forever-focused placements. Once the initial screening is completed, we will arrange a meet-and-greet with the entire family — two-legged and four-legged members included — to make sure it’s a great match for everyone. If you’re interested in one of our dogs — or would like help finding the perfect match — please submit an application. Thank you for supporting rescue and choosing to adopt. Together, we are changing lives for good.
