Description
Dog Breed: Maltese / Poodle (Miniature) / Mixed (medium coat). Hi, I’m Snowball—a gentle old soul with a young heart. I may be 15, but don’t let that number fool you. I still have plenty of pep in my step, and I love my daily walks. I’m calm, affectionate, and I’ll even let you know when I need to go out—no guesswork required I came from a broken home through no fault of my own, but I’ve never lost my sweet nature or my trust in people. The kind folks at Forte gave me a second chance, and now I’m hoping someone special will give me a forever home to spend my golden years. Come meet me at the next adoption event. I might just be the soulmate you didn’t know you were missing. If you are interested in meeting Snowball, please download the Adoption Questionnaire, fill it out and email it back to us at infofarescue or fax (310) 362-0321. You can also meet this and/or other available dogs at our weekend adoptions. [Snowball is about 15 years old and weighs 15 lbs.] (2507)

Breed overview
Overview:
The Maltipoo, a delightful crossbreed, emerges from the charming combination of a Maltese and a Miniature Poodle, offering a compact and affectionate companion. Originating in the United States, this "designer dog" was selectively bred for its desirable traits, particularly its low-shedding coat and amiable disposition. Physically, Maltipoos typically weigh between 5-20 pounds, sporting a soft, wavy to curly coat that comes in various colors, most commonly white, cream, or apricot. Their temperament is a major draw: they are known for being intelligent, playful, and incredibly loving, often forming strong bonds with their families. This makes them highly suitable for both families with children and apartment living, provided they receive adequate exercise and mental stimulation. While generally healthy, potential health considerations can include patellar luxation, progressive retinal atrophy, and white shaker syndrome, inherited from their parent breeds. With proper care and attention, a Maltipoo can be a joyful and long-lived member of any household.
