Story
This delightful little fella is Post Malone, a 7 year old Maltese with the sweetest disposition. Post Malone is great with other dogs and has been fine with strangers he's met! He's a medium energy guy who enjoys a good snooze. He is doing well with walks, uses the stairs like a champ, and is doing so well with potty training! Good job, buddy! We think Post will do well in just about any home. He would love to have a dog buddy but it's not necessary. He has such a nice demeanor that we think he'd do well with kids. He just loves company and likes to be where his people are! If you are looking for a sweet little guy who happens to have the cutest face and underbite, Post Malone will be a wonderful family dog for his lucky people! He'd love to meet you! Adoption fee: $550
