Cricket is a 3 year old male Maltese Mix with a spirit far bigger than his small frame, about 11 lbs. Found in Inglewood fighting off coyotes, this little survivor has already shown just how brave he is. Beneath that toughness is a gentle, affectionate dog who simply wants to feel safe and loved. He may take a moment to observe his surroundings, but once he trusts you, he bonds deeply and stays close — loyal, devoted, and full of quiet sweetness. Cricket survived the streets. Now he’s ready for a soft bed, a warm lap, and a forever home where he can finally just be someone’s beloved companion. We hold an event every weekend at our facility on SATURDAY and SUNDAY 11-5pm and open to the public. It is first come first serve we do not evaluate applications prior to an event. If there are multiple interested parties in the same dog or puppy at the same time we would pick the best out of the 10 applications. Please visit our social media platforms for the specifics for each weekend as it changes from week to week. Please find our application at lovejoyfoundation.org when you come to an event please bring that filled out in hand with you. You can find our application at Lovejoyfoundation.org. Please note a Petfinder and Adoptapet Inquiry is not applying for the dog. You have to come to the event or send an email inquiry to our records email.
