My story

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

Meet Livvy

Breed: Maltese
Sex: Female
DOB: 11/18/2025
Weight: 6 Pounds
Health: Healthy and thriving

Livvy is a tiny little snowball of sweetness with soft eyes and a gentle spirit. At just three months old, she is still very much a baby — learning the world, discovering her confidence, and forming the bonds that will shape her entire life. She has that delicate Maltese charm — affectionate, people-focused, and happiest when she feels safe and close to her humans.

Personality

Livvy is cuddly, curious, and wonderfully affectionate. She loves exploring her surroundings, following you around on her tiny paws, and then climbing into your lap when she’s ready for reassurance. She thrives on connection and will likely form a deep, devoted attachment to her person. With patience and guidance, she will grow into a loyal, loving companion who wants nothing more than to be by your side.

Breed Info

Maltese are known for their gentle, devoted personalities. They are companion dogs through and through — they do not enjoy being left alone for long periods and thrive in homes where they are included in daily life. They require regular grooming to keep their coats healthy and mat-free, and they respond beautifully to kind, consistent training. Maltese bond deeply and often choose “their person” for life.

Owner Responsibilities

Livvy is a baby. That means frequent potty breaks, supervision, gentle socialization, and consistent positive reinforcement training. Puppies chew, explore, and make mistakes — they require time every single day. She will also require routine grooming throughout her life. Raising Livvy means actively shaping her into a confident, well-adjusted adult dog.

⚠️ Things to Consider

Before adopting Livvy, ask yourself:
Are you home enough for a young puppy?
Is your housing stable and pet-approved long-term?
Are you financially prepared for grooming, vet care, and emergencies?
Are you ready for a 12–15 year commitment — even if you move, change jobs, or life circumstances shift?

Adoption is not temporary. It is for life.

Vet Care

Even though Livvy is healthy, it is essential to establish care with your own veterinarian immediately after adoption. This ensures her vaccination schedule continues properly, growth is monitored, and any concerns are addressed early. A relationship with your own vet sets the foundation for lifelong health.

Understanding the 3-3-3 Rule

The first 3 days Livvy may feel overwhelmed or unsure — everything is new.
The first 3 weeks she will begin learning your routine and feeling safe.
By 3 months, her trust will bloom, and her true personality will shine.

Patience during this transition is critical for building lifelong confidence.

Why Livvy?

Livvy is not just a tiny puppy — she is a little life waiting to give her whole heart to someone. If you are ready to nurture, guide, and commit fully, she will reward you with unwavering devotion and years of soft, loyal companionship.
