Description
Dog Breed: Maltese / Poodle (unknown type). 🤍 Meet Angel Eyes 🤍 Angel Eyes is a 1-2-year-old Maltese/Poodle mix weighing about 16 pounds, and he truly lives up to his name. This fluffy little guy is full of love, happy energy, and has the sweetest personality. He absolutely loves other dogs, does great with cats, and adores people. He enjoys playing with his dog friends, but he's also a pretty mellow guy who loves to cuddle and be with his people. He may bark if he hears something outside, but otherwise he's an easygoing companion. He's doing well with kennel training and is making great progress with potty training. Like many rescue dogs, Angel Eyes can become scared in unfamiliar situations, especially at the veterinarian or in new environments. When he's feels overwhelmed, he may react by being a little nippy, so we're looking for a home that understands positive reinforcement and is willing to help build his confidence through patience and desensitization. Older, gentle children (10+) who understand how to respect a dog's space would be the best fit. Angel Eyes has been through a lot. When he came to us, he was painfully matted with foxtails embedded throughout his coat, deep inside his ears, and even in his groin. The mats and foxtails had caused painful infections, making grooming and veterinary care understandably frightening for him. His reactions weren't because he was a "bad" dog—he was scared and in pain. Now that he's feeling better, his sweet, loving personality shines through more every day. One important thing to know about this breed: Maltese and Poodle mixes require professional grooming every 4-6 weeks. Without regular grooming, their coats can become painfully matted, trap debris like foxtails, and lead to skin infections and significant discomfort. Routine grooming is an essential part of keeping Angel Eyes healthy and happy. Overall, Angel Eyes is an incredibly affectionate, playful little dog who loves people, dogs, and cats. He's ready to leave his rough past behind and find a family who will love him, care for him, and help him continue building confidence. ❤️ To be considered for adoption, please submit a detailed application at .K9ppr. Detailed applications are required to help ensure the best possible match for both our dogs and their new families.

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.
