This elegant dog is both charming and lively, making it a favorite lapdog and companion. Maltese dogs are typically under 7 pounds and stand 7–9 inches tall, with a lifespan of 12–15 years. Maltese, like Ivy, thrive on human companionship and do best in homes where they can be close to their people. Ivy is a gentle soul who’s fully potty trained and perfectly content spending time alone at home without a crate. Though she may take a little time to adjust due to her unknown past, once she feels safe, she blossoms into a cuddly, affectionate companion who adores lap time and gentle pets. She is building her confidence and learning what it feels like to be loved for the first time. Ivy’s Sweetest Highlights: 100% potty trained, no crate needed Loves young kids, especially calm and respectful ones Dog-friendly, and loves snuggling with her foster siblings Cat-friendly, eager to make feline friends Low energy, happiest lounging in your lap Learning the leash, but enjoys outdoor time Quiet and calm, ideal for peaceful households Perfect for retirees or solo adopters, who want a loving shadow No aggression, just a little shy at first Ivy is looking for a quiet, loving home where she can feel safe, adored, and never far from a warm lap. She’s the kind of pup who will sit beside you while you read, nap peacefully at your feet, and greet you with soft eyes and a wagging tail. If you’re ready for a sweet, serene companion who just wants to love and be loved, Ivy is ready to be your little best friend. Ready to Welcome Ivy Into Your Life?
