Andy's Info...
| Breed: | Maltese | Color: | White | Age: | Adult |
| Size: | Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less | Sex: | Male |
I am already neutered, purebred, up to date with shots, not good with kids, and good with dogs.
Andy is a sweet, shy little 6 year old Maltese boy. He was rescued from a Missouri mill in December 2009. He does not seem to take an interest in toys; however, he has learned the joys of chewing on a bully stick. He is working on his socialization skills as he is still a little leery of people and is getting used to being touched. He follows his foster mom everywhere, is quite curious on things around him and he is quite perky whenever food is involved. Andy is not housetrained yet; however, he is working on it.
Andy’s ideal home would be a laid back household without a lot of activity and chaos. He tends to be somewhat of a loner; is fine all by himself and occasionally takes an interest in the other dogs. He does fine with the other dogs, but because of his shyness, tends to hang around the other dogs like him. He would do fine with or without another dog in the home.

Are our dogs house-trained? Not at YOUR HOUSE. Most have begun housetraining in their foster homes; however, ALL dogs will have to be re-trained to some extent at their adoptive homes, due to a new sleeping and feeding routine. This not just for rescue dogs, ANY dog going to a new home will have to be re-trained at least to some extent!
