Description
Dog Breed: Bichon Frise / Maltese / Mixed (medium coat). Foster Homes Needed! Do you have time and room in your life for a foster dog? .muttloverescue/foster.html ***************** Sweet, laid-back Leo is a 10/11 year-young gentleman looking for his forever home. He came to Mutt Love after his beloved human mom could no longer care for him due to cancer, and now he’s ready to be someone’s loyal little sidekick. Leo is a quiet, easygoing pup with a lovable 17-lb “dad bod” (a light diet and plenty of walks are in his future). He thrives on companionship and would do best in a home where someone is around most of the time. Once he chooses “his person”, he’s ALL IN. Think loyal shadow, professional snuggler, and emotional support sidekick. He is fully house-trained, loves his toys, and does well with children and other dogs. Cats are still an unknown. Leo is the perfect match for someone looking for a calm, affectionate companion who just wants to enjoy the good life together. Adopt Leo and give this sweet boy the happy ending he deserves! **BECAUSE OF OUR REQUIREMENT FOR A HOME VISIT, WE ARE ONLY ABLE TO ADOPT TO HOMES IN THE NORTHERN VA / MARYLAND / DC METRO AREA** We have adoption events EVERY SATURDAY from 12-3 p.m. Please note that not all dogs can attend every event, so if you are interested in meeting a particular dog, please complete a no-obligation application on our website at .muttloverescue/application.html OR write to adoptmuttloverescue.

Breed overview
Overview:
The delightful Maltichon, a charming crossbreed of the Bichon Frise and Maltese, inherits the best traits from both beloved parent breeds. Originating as a designer dog, it quickly gained popularity for its adorable appearance and affectionate nature. Physically, Maltichons are typically small, weighing between 6-12 pounds, with a luxurious, non-shedding coat that is usually white or cream, often wavy or curly, requiring regular grooming to prevent matting. Their eyes are bright and expressive, and their overall demeanor is one of joyful curiosity. Temperamentally, they are known for being incredibly friendly, playful, and intelligent, making them highly trainable and eager to please. This gentle and loving nature makes them excellent companions for families with children and well-suited for apartment living due to their moderate exercise needs. While generally healthy, potential health considerations, common to small breeds, can include luxating patellas and dental issues, emphasizing the importance of responsible breeding and regular veterinary care.
