Description
Dog Breed: Maltese / Poodle (Miniature) / Mixed. Rocky is a tiny guy at 8 pounds and 10 months. Despite being a puppy this guy is surprisingly chill. He gets excited on walks, loves to play, puppy nibbles your fingers but is easily re-directed, and settles nicely in the house when it is time to chill. He has had a hard time recently being surrendered (with PAW dog Luna who is also available) and was scared being in the shelter. He has quickly settled into his foster home and is doing well there. Rocky is underweight and needs some fattening up - this might contribute to him being more chill and only time will tell. He is a very sweet and happy guy who loves to snuggle. He currently sleeps in a crate with Luna, but would much prefer to be in your bed. During the day when his foster is working he settles nicely in a bed and sleeps. Rocky gets along well with other dogs. He met his foster's big dog and had excellent manners. We think he would like to be in a home with another dog as he was raised in a house with dogs. As a puppy, Rocky will need some training. He does not quite get "sit" yet but enjoys treats while he is learning! He does seem to be housetrained but can be expected to have a few accidents when he moves homes. Rocky will be a wonderful dog for someone - are you that person? PAW adopts to the MD, DC, northern VA, and southern PA region.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Maltipoo, a delightful crossbreed, emerges from the charming combination of a Maltese and a Miniature Poodle, offering a compact and affectionate companion. Originating in the United States, this "designer dog" was selectively bred for its desirable traits, particularly its low-shedding coat and amiable disposition. Physically, Maltipoos typically weigh between 5-20 pounds, sporting a soft, wavy to curly coat that comes in various colors, most commonly white, cream, or apricot. Their temperament is a major draw: they are known for being intelligent, playful, and incredibly loving, often forming strong bonds with their families. This makes them highly suitable for both families with children and apartment living, provided they receive adequate exercise and mental stimulation. While generally healthy, potential health considerations can include patellar luxation, progressive retinal atrophy, and white shaker syndrome, inherited from their parent breeds. With proper care and attention, a Maltipoo can be a joyful and long-lived member of any household.
