Description
Dog Breed: Maltese / Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie (long coat). Adoption Fee: $500. KENNEL ID #18804 Leo and Kenny, along with ten other dogs, were owned by a woman who used to breed them. Unfortunately, she developed frontotemporal dementia, which progressed very quickly, and the dogs were not being properly cared for. She is gradually allowing her family to find homes for the dogs, but she is reluctant to part with any of the females. However, we remain hopeful that she will eventually surrender them. Leo is a 14-pound sweetheart with a big heart and an even bigger love for companionship. Like his buddy Kenny, he wants to be near his people (and his doggie friends) at all times — if you’re looking for a little shadow to follow you everywhere, Leo is your guy! He’s gentle, affectionate, and loves nothing more than curling up close or resting his head in your lap. Leo thrives on routine and attention, and he feels most secure when surrounded by love and familiar faces. Leo also enjoys the company of other small dogs and would do best in a home with at least one canine companion. He’s playful but not pushy, and his calm, loyal personality makes him the perfect match for someone who spends a lot of time at home. Like Kenny and Bambi, Leo’s been part of a close-knit little friend group — so if your heart (and couch) have room for more than one, he’d be thrilled to be adopted with one of his pals! Adoption Fee $500 (includes neuter & dental) Thank you for your interest in rescue. If you would like to be considered for adoption, please submit an application to adopt.

Maltese
A.K.A.: Maltese Terrier, Maltese Lion Dog, Ancient Dog of Malta, Roman Ladies' Dog, Spaniel Gentle, Comforter Dog, Melita, Melitae Dog, Shock Dog, Maltese Island Dog, Maltese Comforter, Maltese Pocket Dog, Maltese Showdog, Maltese Champion, Teacup Maltese, Toy Maltese, Mini Maltese, Micro Maltese, Tiny Maltese
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.
