Description
Dog Breed: Maltese (long coat). Adoption Fee: 350.00. Please go to our website for all specific information about this dog. Our info doesn't transfer over to the adoption sites. Finch came to us with other dogs from a shelter cruelty case confiscation. He is the sweetest, tiny little guy! We've taken care of is medical needs (neuter, dental etc) and grooming but he has a pretty significant patella (knee) issue that we cannot address. He gets around, including running around, just great. He holds the leg up like a chicken wing and goes! It causes no pain or discomfort. He is only 3.8 pounds so no young kids in the home and someone needs to be around to get him outside more often as he won't hold it for long. We continue to work on that daily. He needs a professional groomer to keep his coat gorgeous too. Maltese and very tiny dogs need lifelong dental care so be sure you're willing and able to provide that for him if you do apply for adoption. Prior to adoption, our dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, micro-chipped and parasite treated/prevented.

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.
