Sammy will cast his magical spell over you and next thing you know you'll be playing fetch
Now you see him – now you don't! Sammy has magical powers when it comes to an open backyard — he can disappear quickly. Because Second Chance wants to make sure Sammy has a safe environment to play and potty in, they are requiring his new family to have a secure fenced yard. Another magical power Sammy has is the ability to hypnotize with his big dark eyes and have you believing that you have all day to play fetch with him or purchase him a new toy. Sammy is a recently retired breeder and is very friendly and energetic. This little Maltese dog weighs 8.5 pounds and is still working on potty training and getting used to his leash and tie-out. He gets along well with other dogs and will tolerate cats. He likes children, but because of his size, Second Chance recommends children in the house be at least eight years old. He is up to date on shots, neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative and on heartworm prevention. Sammy will also use his magical powers to flirt a little with a new acquaintance and then sneak in with a nose kiss. He would love to meet another small dog that could help him improve his doggy social skills and be a playmate when his humans are busy. He is playful and loves toys. Sammy is crate trained and when he needs some respite, he will choose to lie in his open crate. If you'd like to be a part of Sammy's magical existence, contact Second Chance or reach out to his foster mom, Michelle, for more information at or 616-949-7813. Sammy is currently being fostered in Grand Rapids, Michigan and his adoption fee is $500. Pets are available for adoption through: • Second Chance Small Dog Rescue, Elkhart.

This regal miniature poodle is Marshall, and he is ready for an exciting new start in life
This handsome apricot miniature poodle has just turned 5 and he is ready to start a new chapter in his life. Marshall is a retired breeder and is extremely friendly and confident around humans and other friendly dogs. Marshall has become comfortable with household life and keeps his crate clean. He is not completely house trained yet, but he is making good progress. Marshall doesn't mind being on a leash, in fact he walks quite regally on leash and off. He does need to learn to walk with his owner and not pull on the lead, but Poodles are very energetic and perhaps Marshall is just excited to be outside and anxious to explore new surroundings. Marshall would love a family that will keep him well groomed, brushed daily, play toss with him, and go on those walks. He is very friendly and playful and has a gentle and sweet nature. Marshall is a little taller than most miniature poodles and currently weighs between 18 and 20 pounds. He would do best in a home where a family member is around a fair amount of time or if there is another dog for companionship. He appears to tolerate cats, so that might be another option. Currently, Marshall is awaiting his vet appointment in mid-February. He will be available for adoption after that appointment. But don't wait until the last minute to call Second Chance Small Dog Rescue to find out more about Marshall. Call his foster mom, Michelle, at 616-949-7813 or email and make arrangements to bring Marshall home. Pets are available for adoption through: • Second Chance Small Dog Rescue, Elkhart.
