Malti is a lovely boy. Poor Malti has been through a tough life. However, it doesn’t stop him from loving and trusting humans. He is very gentle and doesn’t have a mean bone in him. Malti is now in a foster home with other dogs and is good with big and small dogs. He is doing well in his foster home and ready for a forever home. Malti started some leash training and is learning at a good pace. He is crate trained and doing well on his house training. He rides well in the car and can wait patiently while his foster mom runs errands. Malti is a wonderful family dog. Malti’s Rescue Story Malti was rescued from a poorly run private shelter. The shelter has over 2,000 dogs living in cramped and wet environment. Malti along with her other friends were used as breeding dogs. After they were done with her, poor Malti was sent to a private shelter where she lived in a cage and never let out. A kind international rescue organization got a rescue message from a volunteer. The founder has over 160 dogs waiting for homes and didn’t have space for another dog. However, when she saw photos of the dogs suffering. She knew it was urgent to rescue them. The rescue took home 19 dogs and promised to find them forever loving homes. Malti had a thorough medical checkup. He has been neutered, vaccinated, microchip, and passed negative on his blood tests.

Story
Maltese Mix Age: Senior Female, Spayed 15 lbs Adoption Fee: Donation (includes spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations) Kylie (a.k.a. Bitsy) was brought to the San Jose Shelter as a stray and in pretty poor condition. She was underweight, no use of her her back legs, missing fur, urine burns from incontinence. In spite of it all, she had a wonderful disposition. The shelter contacted us to pull her. She uses a cart and wears diapers for her incontinence. Here is what her current foster mom has to say about her: Bitsy (Kylie) is a loving, bossy, and lively dog. She loves going for walks or sniffing around the park. Bitsy will ask you to play by grabbing her stuffy and bringing it to you. She also enjoys enrichment activities like puzzles and snoops. She has gotten along with having a second foster dog in the house as well as strangers. She is a polite greeter on walks. Bitsy needs her bladder expressed 3-4 times a day. She sits perfectly still as you do so. At home Bitsy navigates the house just fine. She will try to rush out the door to go with you on errands and does happy hops when you come home. For more information about Kylie, you can email us at: nobodysperfektdogs@gmail.com
