Rescue FAQs

Metropolitan Maltese Rescue is a non-profit corporation (501(c) (3)) dedicated to placing homeless Maltese and Maltese-mixes in loving, responsible, permanent homes. Our vision is to be an active partner of a no-kill community where there are no homeless pets. Metropolitan Maltese Rescue (MetroMalts) is an all-volunteer organization founded in 1998 by a group of Maltese dog lovers in New York City. MetroMalts volunteers foster and place Maltese found as strays, surrendered by their owners, or rescued from shelters. We use every means at our disposal to keep Maltese out of shelters and in good forever-after homes. Every foster and permanent home is carefully screened. Information provided by potential adopters is used to make sure that our Maltese are placed with care-givers who are best suited to their individual personalities. We remain available after adoption to help resolve any concerns or problems that might arise.

Additional adoption info

Potential adopters are required to complete our online adoption application through this webpage: http://www.malteserescue.com/adoption.htm
Our questionnaire is used to help us understand your preferences and lifestyle in order to find a compatible dog. If there is a potential match, we will check all references before you are introduced to any of our Maltese. A home check will also be done. If everything checks out, you like the dog and the dog likes you....it's "kiss mutt", as we like to say. You will need to sign our Adopter Agreement before taking your new fur baby home.
A fee is required at the time of adoption:
$500 for dogs up to 2 years old
$400 for dogs over 2 years, up to 5 years old
$300 for dogs over 5 years old
