Adopt

I’m honored to announce a partnership between HeartKat and Max’s Ark Rescue.

My custom portraits are created to celebrate the animals who change our lives — the ones who become family, who save us in quiet ways every day.

Max’s Ark Rescue is dedicated to helping as many dogs as possible find their furever homes, with a special focus on puppy mill dogs who, without rescue, may never know what love feels like.

Through this partnership, a portion of every custom order will directly support their rescue efforts.  You can support their rescue work directly through this link, HERE.

When you commission a portrait, you’re not only honoring your own dog’s story — you’re helping another dog get the chance to begin theirs.

 

Art with heart.
Love in action.

 

❤️, Kat

Meet Bruno

Hi… I’m Bruno. 

I’m a 4-year-old white Pomeranian, and I used to think I had a forever family… but when they moved, they left me behind. 

I didn’t understand it at first. I kept waiting. But now I’m safe, and I’m learning that sometimes endings can still lead to new beginnings. 

Even after everything, I’m still me—affectionate, gentle, and surprisingly chill for a little guy like me. I love to explore, I’m a bit athletic when I get excited, and I’m always curious about what’s going on around me. And yes… I’m very food-motivated  (treats definitely help me trust you faster!).

I get along with both dogs and cats, and I enjoy being near people once I feel safe. I may be a little cautious at first, but I’m resilient—and once I bond with you, I’m incredibly snuggly and loyal. 

I’m looking for an experienced adopter who understands small dogs and can give me patience, stability, and love for the rest of my life. I’ve already lost one home… I don’t want to lose another.

If you’re someone who believes every dog deserves a second chance, I think we might be meant for each other.

Meet Pammy

Hi, my name is Pamy. I’m a sweet Pomeranian girl looking for my forever home. I’ve been through a lot, but now I’m safe in the loving arms of Max’s Ark and being cared for by a foster mom who absolutely adores me.

I am a friendly gentle girl who wants to be close to my person. I walk nicely on a leash, I listen well and I don’t bark at other dogs. I get along well with everyone and do great with other dogs too.

I prefer females and tend to bond with them a little quicker, but with patience, love, and kindness, I will warm up to males too.

My favorite thing in the world is affection. I love pets, hugs, kisses, and snuggles. I’ll happily curl up next to you on the couch or sleep besides you in bed at night. i also love to play. Squeaky toys are so much fun, and my snuffle mat keeps me busy and happy.

I’m a smart girl. i go potty outside when I have access, and if I’m inside for a while I’ll use a pee pad. I’m not food aggressive and have a very easygoing nature.

All I want now is a forever home where I can feel save, loved and never passed around again. If you’re looking for a loyal little companion who will adore you every single day, I think I might be your girl!

Meet Caprisse

Your one-and-only little love

Hello! My name is Caprisse, and I’m a 3-year-old miniature Poodle with a beautiful chocolate coat and an even sweeter personality. I came from a breeder, and now I’m ready for a fresh start where I can finally be someone’s whole world. 

I’m affectionate, playful, clever, and very people-oriented. I love to communicate, cuddle, and be right by your side—whether we’re playing, training, or relaxing together. I’m also quite the foodie, so treats definitely help me learn new things! 

While I can be friendly, I truly thrive best as the only pet in the home. I want all the love, attention, and snuggles to myself—and I promise to give them right back tenfold.

I’m fully vetted, spayed, vaccinated, and ready to go home. Because of my background and sensitive nature, I need an experienced adopter who understands poodles and can provide structure, consistency, and lots of affection.

If you’re looking for a loyal, devoted companion who wants nothing more than to be your one true shadow, I may be your perfect match.

Meet Eol

Hi, my name is Eol 

For the first 4 years of my life, I wasn’t really anyone’s “baby.” I was just a stud dog for a breeder, kept to make puppies and never truly loved for me.  I didn’t know what it meant to be part of a family, to be cuddled on a couch, or to be told I was special.

But things are different now—I was rescued, and for the very first time, I’m getting to learn what it feels like to be safe. 

I’m a sweet, gentle 6-pound Maltese. I get along with dogs and even cats, and I’m looking for a forever home with someone experienced with little ones like me. I’m already neutered, vaccinated, and healthy—just waiting for my new chapter to begin.

What I dream about most? A calm, loving home where I’m not left alone too much, where someone will show me every day that I’m more than just a “breeder dog.”  Could that someone be you?

I’m ready to give you my heart—and I promise it’s a really big one for such a little guy. 

Love, Eol

Meet Gaga

Hi, I’m Gaga!

I’m a 2-year-old Korean Maltese with a big heart and a waggy tail!  For the first part of my life, I was used for breeding, but those days are behind me now—and I’m ready to just be a dog .

I’m sweet, happy, and playful, and I love having doggie friends to romp around with.  My dream home? A young retired or work-from-home family who has plenty of time for cuddles, play, and adventures together.

I’ve got lots of love to give and years of joy ahead of me. Could I be your new best friend?
