My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Lily O

Breed: Maltese
Sex: Female
DOB: July 16, 2022
Weight: 14 pounds
Health: Healthy and doing well

Lily O is a gentle little lady with a calm spirit and a heart full of love. With her sweet expression and graceful presence, she brings a peaceful, comforting energy wherever she goes. Lily O is the kind of dog who doesn’t demand attention — she earns it naturally, simply by being her loving, affectionate self.

Personality

Lily O is affectionate, soft-natured, and people-oriented. She enjoys being close to her humans, whether that means following you quietly from room to room or curling up beside you for some well-deserved cuddle time. She has a gentle playfulness and a calm demeanor that makes her a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loving, steady presence in their life.

Breed Info: Maltese

Maltese are known for:

  • Sweet, affectionate, and devoted personalities

  • Strong bonds with their people

  • Gentle temperaments and loving companionship

  • Adaptability to many living situations, including apartments

  • Thriving on attention, routine, and closeness

They do best in homes where they are treated as true family members.

Owner Responsibilities

Lily O will thrive with:

  • Daily affection and companionship

  • Gentle, positive reinforcement training

  • Regular grooming and coat care

  • A consistent routine that provides comfort and security

Small dogs still need big commitment — emotionally and practically.

⚠️ Things to Consider Before Adopting

Before adopting Lily O, please consider:

  • Do you have time for companionship and routine?

  • Is your housing situation secure and pet-friendly?

  • Are you prepared for grooming and ongoing vet care?

  • Will your lifestyle allow a dog to be included and loved daily?

  • Adoption is a lifelong commitment, through every stage of life

Vet Care

Even though Lily O is healthy, adopters should schedule a visit with their own veterinarian as soon as possible after adoption to establish care and ensure continued well-being.

The 3-3-3 Rule

  • First 3 days: Lily O may feel shy as she adjusts — patience and reassurance matter.

  • First 3 weeks: She’ll learn your routine and begin to feel safe.

  • First 3 months: Trust deepens, and she’ll truly understand she’s home.

This transition period is normal and important for building a lasting bond.

Why Lily O Will Be a Wonderful Addition

Lily O is pure sweetness wrapped in a soft, loving soul. She offers gentle companionship, quiet devotion, and a calming presence that makes a house feel like home. For the right adopter, she will be a loyal friend, a constant comfort, and a source of everyday joy.

If you’re ready to open your heart to a gentle, loving companion, Lily O is ready to meet you
