Description
Dog Breed: Maltese / Poodle (Miniature) / Mixed. Hi… I’m Ozzie. They think I’m a Poodle/Maltese mix, about 5 years old, and I weigh just over 9 pounds. I may be pint-sized, but my heart? It’s huge. I love everyone I meet, and even after everything, I’m just so happy to be here. I do well in my crate, but if I’m being honest, my favorite place in the whole world is your lap. That’s where I feel safest. That’s where I feel like I belong. I’m playful with my foster buddies and I don’t bother the cat at all. I looove treats (I get extra wiggly when I see them!), and I get so excited when the leash comes out because that means I get to go outside and feel the fresh air. Every little thing feels like a gift to me. Before this, I came from a very scary shelter. I had been on my own for a long time, and my fur was so matted and tangled that they had to shave me down. I was a little mess. But my hair is growing back now, and I’m starting to look pretty cute again — and it feels really good to be cared for. They think my foot might have been run over by a car at some point. I have three broken toes. Nobody knows exactly what happened to me back then… but I do know this: it doesn’t slow me down. I still run, I still play, I still love with everything I have. I don’t dwell on the hard parts. I just want to be close to someone. I just want a soft lap, gentle hands, and a home where I’ll never be alone or forgotten again. I’m small. I’m resilient. I’m full of love. And I’m waiting for my forever person.

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.
