We accept electronic funds via VENMO or Zelle, or cash only. donateyorkierescuehouston or, if you prefer: our fundraising platform, Zeffy Puppies too young to be spayed/neutered are available for Foster-to-Adopt only. A FTA contract is required. Cotton was surrendered by his family to be euthanized when he quit eating. The shelter reached out to us. We immediately took him to our vet where it was discovered he was in excruciating pain. His mouth was full of decay and disease. During his dental, his jaw BROKE. literally, snapped off while under anesthesia. We rushed him to our ortho surgeon who masterfully repaired and restored his jaw using metal plate and pins/screws. Cotton has recovered and been medically released. He is a sweet boy, who loves to WOOOOOO. He has some anxiety being left alone so a full-time caregiver / lap loaner would be his preference. Cotton was on soft food for 8 weeks and is now transitioning to kibble. he does fine. Cotton does go dry overnight.

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.
