Description
Dog Breed: Maltese / Poodle (Miniature). Meet Engel who was rescued from animal control—no place for a young pup to grow be. His hair was long and matted, but beneath it was a happy, loving boy just waiting for a chance. After a fresh cut and some much-needed care, Engel is already shining and ready to start a new life. Engel is a little shadow, always right behind you and happiest when he has his person close. He will need Puppy 101, the normal basics that come with bringing home a young one, like house training and learning the routine. He walks great on leash. He cries when left alone right now, but he is young and that can improve with time and consistency. If you want a sweet loyal boy who just wants to belong, Engel is waiting. Please note we do not usually adopt outside of San Diego County and surrounding areas.

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.
