Description
Dog Breed: Maltese / Havanese / Mixed. Hello, my name is Heathcliff! I am a 3-year-old Maltese/Havanese mix weighing around 9 pounds, and I am looking for a family to call my own. I may be small, but I have a big personality and plenty of energy to keep life fun and exciting. I am a friendly, playful boy who loves toys and enjoys spending time with other dogs that are similar in size, age, and energy level. I am still learning about the world around me and will need a family that understands the time, patience, and commitment required to help a young dog continue to mature into a well-mannered companion. I am crate trained and working on my house training, but I will need consistency and positive reinforcement as I continue to learn. I enjoy playing, exploring, and staying active, so a securely fenced yard is important for my safety. I am also quite curious and have been known to be an escape artist, so my family will need to be careful when opening doors and gates. I can be vocal when I am playing or left alone, so I would likely do best in a home rather than an apartment setting. Because of my breed mix, I will also require regular grooming throughout my life to keep my coat healthy and looking its best. I am neutered, microchipped, current on my rabies vaccination and annual vaccines, and heartworm negative. My adoption fee is $125. An approved online adoption application is required prior to all meet and greets and adoptions. If you are interested in making me a member of your family, please complete an application at: rockwalladoptions/adoptfoster/adoption-application/ Once your application has been reviewed, Rockwall Adoption Center staff will contact you regarding the next steps in the adoption process. I look forward to meeting my forever family! All animals, unless otherwise noted in their description, are at 1825 Airport Rd. in Rockwall, TX. Hours of operation are Monday-Friday 9 am to 6 pm and Saturdays 9 am to 5 pm. For questions, please call 972-771-7750 ext. 2 or email infoRockwallAdoptions. IMPORTANT NOTICE: All shelter animals are required by Texas state law to be spayed/neutered. RAC completes this procedure at the age of 12 weeks. If you are adopting a pet under the age of 12 weeks or an animal that has not yet been spayed or neutered, you will be required to return the pet to our facility on the agreed upon date set at the time of adoption. This policy is non-negotiable and violation of this health code is a criminal offense.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Havamalt is an endearing designer breed, a delightful cross between the gentle Havanese and the elegant Maltese. Originating from the desire to combine the best traits of both beloved toy breeds, Havamalts are known for their small stature, typically weighing between 7-13 pounds. Their luxurious, soft coat, which can be wavy or straight and comes in a variety of colors, is generally low-shedding, making them a good option for those with allergies, though regular grooming is essential to prevent matting. Temperamentally, they are affectionate, intelligent, and eager to please, often displaying a playful yet calm demeanor. This makes them highly adaptable, thriving in both apartment living and larger homes, and they are particularly well-suited for families with children or seniors due to their gentle nature. While generally robust, potential health considerations can include patellar luxation, eye conditions, and dental issues, so choosing a reputable breeder is paramount for a healthy companion.
