Description
Dog Breed: Maltese (long coat). MUFFIN (& CHARLIE) Grateful Paws has JUST been made aware of TWO adult Maltese who are now on hold at Animal Control but will be at the Humane Society of Highland County in Sebring, FL in 5 days. (7/9/26 ish). Their elder owner died unexpectedly, and the granddaughter was not in a position to care for them. They are a bonded pair; MUFFIN is 12 years old, 13 lbs., spayed, and has only one eye. CHARLIE is 9 years, neutered, and weighs 7 lbs. Both are in good health, housebroken, calm and quiet - and well behaved but Charlie isn't fond of other male dogs. After a life of love and luxury, they will NOT do well in a shelter! If you or someone you know would welcome this pair into their home, PLEASE reach out to Alexandra at the Humane Society. It's not posted on their website, but I am pretty sure the adoption fee will be nominal - The Humane Society of Highlands County, 7421 Haywood Taylor Blvd., Sebring, FL 33876 .humanesocietyofhighlandscounty - 863-655-1522. and PLEASE share this post far & wide.

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.
