Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This adorable and happy boy is Braxton, a 4 year old maltese that came to us from our Newark facility when he was found as a stray. Braxton is the type of dog that you immediately fall in love with the first time he puts his tiny paws on you and asks you for some attention. He's a total sweetheart! It seems as if Braxton may have spent a little too much time in a crate in his former home. He has a habit of circling to the left frequently. Our veterinarian thoroughly examined him to rule out any medical cause to this and thankfully there is nothing medically wrong, but Braxton seems to have a lot of nervous energy. The good news is that as soon as you give him some attention, he calms right down and stops circling. After he's had some exercise it stops also. He will need a family that will give him plenty of exercise and attention and eventually, Braxton will most likely stop it all together. He walks very well on a leash and is playful and fun loving too. Braxton gets along just fine with both dogs and cats too and he just loves people. This sweet little guy is ready to move on to the wonderful home that he deserves. File#26573 8/3/16
