Description
Dog Breed: Poodle (Miniature) / Maltese / Mixed (medium coat). Meet Miko, the malti-poo (maltese x poodle mix). Miko came to the Shelter after his previous guardian was moving and unable to continue caring for him. He lived with another dog (a similar sized female, who has since been adopted). He was indoors in his previous home and would use pee pads as well as go potty outside. Miko enjoyed playing with toys and balls in his previous home. He enjoyed going for walks daily for about 5 to 20 minutes. Miko has lived in a home with children previously. Mikoâs previous guardian did observe some nervous behavior around strangers (alerting to their arrival, barking and then moving away). We have also seen that behavior at the Shelter. Adopters should be mindful that Miko may not appreciate a high traffic household (with lots of people coming through) and may appreciate come management if strangers come over (such as a separate place where he can relax, away from strangers). Miko has lived with dog friendly cats and did well. Miko enjoys riding in the car. The Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation is now offering âPawsitivity Bucksâ with every dog adoption. This $200 training voucher is a way for newly adopted canines and their guardians to connect with local positive reinforcement based behavior consultants and get their relationship started off on the right paw! Please note: Our Santa Cruz locationâs Shelter hours are 11-6pm, 7 days a week! Although clients can walk through and see any animals in their kennels during open hours, we end âmeet and greetsâ (aka meeting an animal out of the kennel) at 4:30pm every day. If youâd like to meet an animal out of the kennel, please arrive before 4:00pm to allow for time to discuss individual animals and meet them.

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.
