Description
Dog Breed: Maltese. Toodles is a bright, happy, and friendly boy. He is energetic and enjoys people time, as well as romping in the yard and going for walks. He is very appreciative of all the attention and love he receives. Toodles is very good one on one with people, but can be overwhelmed and defensive if too many people come to him at once. Also, he gets along with most dogs, but occasionally he does not. Toodles is a gorgeous Maltese, about 4 1/2-5 years old, and 15-16 pounds. Because of his bit of a quarky side, he needs people who can show him patience, compassion, and understanding. He would be best as the only dog in his new home or with one other nice dog we would have to try him with. It would also be best for him to have just one new parent, but not mandatory. Toodles has had a rough life so far, but certainly deserves a chance at a new, loving, forever family. If you believe you can give him that chance, please put in an application today. Please watch the video at the end of the photos to see Toodles enjoying his people time and showing off his zest for life.

Overview:
The elegant Maltese is a delightful toy breed renowned for its captivating beauty and charming personality. Originating from the island of Malta, these ancient dogs were once favored companions of European nobility. Physically, they are characterized by their single coat of long, silky, pure white hair that gracefully drapes over a compact, well-proportioned body, typically weighing between 4-7 pounds. Their expressive dark eyes and black button nose add to their adorable appeal. Temperamentally, Maltese are known for being affectionate, playful, and intelligent, making them highly trainable and eager to please. They thrive on human companionship and are generally excellent with children and other pets, provided they are socialized early. Their small size and relatively low exercise requirements make them ideal for apartment living and suitable for families of all types, including first-time dog owners. While generally healthy, potential owners should be aware of common breed-specific concerns such as dental issues and luxating patellas.
