Alistair the Great

Maltese

Male, Senior
San Francisco, CA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Alistair is a 15-year-old we rescued from a dog hoarding situation. He has come a long way & he is now calm, quiet, affectionate, and deeply loyal once he trusts you. He does bark. Ever. He is low-energy, obedient, and content to just be near his person. Some Considerations: His past still shows. He must be the only pet (or with a very calm small dog). No cats, big dogs, or kids under 10. He is stressed by loud noises and city life. He cant use stairs; we carry him for potty access. He needs someone home most of the day. He has arthritis, a sensitive stomach, only 5 teeth, and an upcoming $2-5K medical procedure. Who he needs: A calm, patient person with a quiet home, flexible schedule, and readiness for senior dog care. He takes time to warm up and may retreat when overwhelmed. That is normal for him. He is not for everyone. But for the right person, he is a sweet, quiet companion who just wants a peaceful place to live out his golden years.

Maltese

Female, 9 yrs
San Francisco, CA
Size

Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Aerobics is a spunky little Maltese girl with a built‑in radar for fun and a serious case of FOMO, always wanting to know exactly what is going on around her. Her eyesight may be a bit on the blurry side, but her superstar ears and extra‑sharp sniffer more than make up for it, helping her quickly tune into your every move so she can prance over, join the action, or supervise the situation like the tiny, adorable hall monitor she is, all while bringing that playful, energetic Maltese charm that keeps life interesting and full of laughs. She loves to stay active, whether that means trotting along on walks or zipping around during playtime, and her friendly nature makes her a happy companion for other dogs who enjoy a social, lively buddy by their side.

Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Are you ready for a workout that will have you covered in sweat and panting? Try Soul Cycle, whose terrific tongue is perpetually on display because she’s always working so hard…or maybe because she has no teeth. Either way, her majestic mane of gold-tinged hair hides any sweat, so you’ll never know if Soul Cycle’s exertion level is at a 5 or 10. This little lady marches to the beat of her own drum; while polite to the other dogs, Soul Cycle is on a mission and ready to execute it. She’s still happy to snuggle while not zooming about, so fear not if you’re looking for a partner in cuddles. Are you ready to try Soul Cycle today?

Maltese Schnoodle

Male, 2 yrs 1 mo
Pt. Richmond, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
These castaways washed up on Milo’s doorstep sick and terrified. With proper medical care, good food and daily attention, they are slowly learning they are safe. It’s taking us time to work through the shyness, but it’s very evident that they just want to be with people they love. With patience and TLC, these sweet Shih Tzus are blossoming into loving companions. Skipper is the most outgoing and engaged of this bunch. He is bigger than his sibs, and is always in front of them in case they need protecting. He is super playful and food motivated. Once he trusts you he loves to roll over for some belly rubs.

These pups are in San Francisco, California too!
