Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Little Lauren is a darling 5 to 6 yr. old Maltese mix female. She was rescued by animal control from a hoarder. Lauren weighs 6 lbs 12 oz. which is good adult for her. Her coat was matted and sparse so she is sporting a short hair cut. Her hair is a soft beige color with cream colored face. This little girl has blossomed in her foster home and enjoys receiving affection. When Lauren encounters new experiences, she is a bit shy and tends to stay close to her foster family. She would enjoy being a pampered indoor pet where she can feel secure and safe. She gets along with other small dogs and would enjoy a home with a quiet, small dog. With house training she is making progress and uses pads inside the house. Most of all Lauren would like an adoptive person with time to give her care and training. She will shower you with her love and devotion.
Lauren will be at the Petsmart in La Jolla Village Square, 8657 Villa La Jolla Dr., La Jolla, CA this Saturday, Feb. 7th from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Please stop by and meet all of our dogs available for adoption.
