Nigiri is a sweet senior Maltese boy who is searching for a soft place to land and a heart to call home. With his snowy white coat and gentle soul, Nigiri embodies everything special about senior dogs—quiet loyalty, deep gratitude, and love that feels calm and unconditional.
Nigiri doesn’t need long walks or constant activity. What he treasures most is companionship. He loves curling up beside his person, resting peacefully, and simply being near. He is house trained, good with other dogs, and is looking for his forever person who needs a quiet, loving companion. When Nigiri looks at you, it’s as if he’s saying thank you—for your time, your kindness, and your love.
Nigiri would do best in a calm, loving home where he can enjoy his golden years surrounded by patience and affection. Senior dogs like Nigiri are often overlooked, but they have a way of changing your life in the quietest, most meaningful ways.
Nigiri needs a dental which he will have before adoption. He has also diabetic and will require daily insulin injections as well as glucose monitoring. But he is such a sweet and jaunty little fellow. He is ready to give all the love he has left—he just needs someone to give him a chance.
If you’re looking for a loyal companion and a truly special soul, Nigiri is waiting.
