Story
Snowy is a loving, fun and energetic boy. He is a purebreed Maltese that my former tenant left me when she moved out. I already have several other dogs in my home and Snowy doesnt fit into their pack due to his delicate size, he weighs only 7 lbs. Snowy barks at everything and instigates my other dogs, not realizing they could kill him with one little bite. I worry for Snowy's safety as he is an overly confident guy! So, here I am, I have decided that it would be best if he were rehomed before something unfortunate happens. He is a fur ball of energy, loves to chew, destroy toys and yaps a lot. He can be grumpy sometimes, demands attention and massages, otherwise he will whine and then bark until he gets what he wants. He prefers being the only dog and sleeping next to you. He needs regular grooming so his hair doesnt mat. Your budget should be $200 - $400 a month for his salon and masseuse. He is neutered and his 9th b-day is in January, he prefers fondant cake and lavish parties.

Maltese

Story
Toodles is a bright, happy, and friendly boy. He is energetic and enjoys people time, as well as romping in the yard and going for walks. He is very appreciative of all the attention and love he receives. Toodles is very good one on one with people, but can be overwhelmed and defensive if too many people come to him at once. Also, he gets along with most dogs, but occasionally he does not.             Toodles is a gorgeous Maltese, about 4 1/2-5 years old, and 15-16 pounds. Because of his bit of a quarky side, he needs people who can show him patience, compassion, and understanding. He would be best as the only dog in his new home or with one other nice dog we would have to try him with.  It would also be best for him to have just one new parent, but not mandatory. Toodles has had a rough life so far, but certainly deserves a chance at a new, loving, forever family. If you believe you can give him that chance, please put in an application today. Please watch the video at the end of the photos to see Toodles enjoying his people time and showing off his zest for life.March 10, 2025, 4:07 pm
