My name is Niko!

When a rescue Maltese is ready adoption, each dog is listed on www.petfinder.com and www.adopt-a-pet.com Prospective adoptive persons submit an adoption application. The person is interviewed and references are checked. Prior to approving an adoption, a home visit is done to determine if the home provides a safe environment for a rescue Maltese.

An adoption fee is paid at the time of adoption. Adoption fees and donations are the sole financial source for payment of medical care for all of our rescue dogs.

Maltese Rescue California is a nonprofit organization run purely on donations and adoption fees. We are dedicated to rescuing Maltese from California shelters and owner surrenders. Maltese Rescue CA is run by compassionate professions who volunteer their time and resources to save and care for homeless Maltese. Along with dedicated veterinarians, we are able to spay/neuter and provide proper medical care to all of our dogs. Our goal and commitment is to secure loving forever homes, thus giving our dogs a second chance.
