Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Matty - 5 year old maltese 6 lbs great with dogs/some people/no kids
working on potty training--neutered, microchipped and current on vaccinations
Matty has a delicate, slim build with long limbs which makes him quite the dancer! Matty, who likely came from a puppy mill, is shy and tentative with strangers and in new situations; he relies on dog pals to show him that people and places are safe. So Matty must have a doggie companion in his forever home. Matty thrives on affection and he bonds very closely with his special person; he likes to be held close and cuddled and babied. He gets along fabulously with other dogs; he assimilates quickly and is accepted readily by the canines he meets. Because of his small size and timidity, he will not be placed in a home with children under 12 years. He will do best in a quiet home and would be happiest if he wasn't left alone without his people for long periods of time. Since he not been well cared for in the past, he especially deserves a home in which he will know the special care, companionship and love which he previously lacked. Matty is working hard on learning to 'take care of business' in appropriate places. Adoption fee - $150.
