Description
Dog Breed: Maltese / Havanese. Hi there, I'm Tom Tom! I might hang back a little when we first meet. I just like to take my time getting to know new people. But if you're gentle and patient with me, I'll start to feel safe, and that's when my true self shines. Once I warm up, I'll be right by your side like a devoted sidekick for life! Once I trust you, I turn into a total lovebug. I adore cuddles, lean in close for pets, and I'm always ready to give a few sweet kisses. I'm also a big fan of walks, and I'm always up for a good game of fetch, especially if there's a squeaky toy involved. I'm available by appointment and would love the chance to meet you. Please call (831) 708-5842 to learn more about me and set up an appointment. Special Needs: Because of my breed, I'll need regular grooming appointments to keep my coat healthy and comfortable. Without them, my fur can get matted or overgrown, which can lead to infections, and trust me, that makes me feel pretty yucky. Keeping me well-groomed helps me feel my best!

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.
