Description
Dog Breed: Maltese / Havanese. Meet Tom Tom, the undisputed champion of play, self-appointed Toy Inspector, and professional speed-racer. If you have a squeaky toy, a tennis ball, or an active lifestyle, Tom Tom is already 100% convinced you two are soulmates. This handsome, energetic boy is packed with personality, endless enthusiasm, and a heart pure enough to melt a glacier. He thrives on staying busy, loves learning new tricks, and thinks brain-games are the best invention since the peanut-butter-stuffed Kong. What Makes Tom Tom So Special: Playtime Professional: His dedication to inspecting, tossing, and retrieving toys is a full-time job-and he takes his work very seriously (and hilariously). Smart Cookie: Tom Tom genuinely loves training time. He treats learning like a fun game and is always eager to show off how clever he is. Heart on His Sleeve: Beneath all that bouncy energy is a loyal, loving dog who just wants to bond deeply with his human. The Real Talk (Training & Care): Tom Tom is a bit reactive when encountering the big, busy world. He gets easily overwhelmed or overly excited around certain triggers, meaning he needs a patient, understanding partner who can guide him with confidence. The good news? He has already made fantastic progress with us and is coming along so well! To ensure a seamless transition and keep his amazing momentum going, his adoption includes a free private training session with a professional trainer. Tom Tom doesn't need a perfect world-just a loving, patient companion who is ready for fun, committed to ongoing positive training, and open to receiving a lifetime of boundless affection in return. Ready to add a whole lot of joy, laughter, and energy to your home? Tom Tom can't wait to meet you! I'm currently available for adoption by appointment, so If you'd like to learn a little bit more about me please call our behavior hotline number at (831) 264-5422. Special Needs: Because of my breed, I'll need regular grooming appointments to keep my coat healthy and comfortable. Without them, my fur can get matted or overgrown, which can lead to infections, and trust me, that makes me feel pretty yucky. Keeping me well-groomed helps me feel my best!

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.
