Story
Lucky is an incredibly sweet, loving dog who truly just wants to be close to her people. She's a 12 lb. Maltese born on 8/1/25. She’ll happily curl up next to you on the couch and snuggle for hours, and wherever you go in the house, she’ll likely be right behind you—she loves being your little shadow. Lucky is leash trained and mostly potty trained. Like many sensitive dogs, she can get nervous when left alone and may occasionally have an accident during those times, but she has been making progress and we’ve been working with her on building confidence. She sleeps in her crate at night and does well there, though she’d probably be happiest curled up in bed with you if given the choice! Lucky would thrive in a home where someone is around most of the time—she’d be a wonderful companion for someone who works from home or has a quieter household. She is wonderful with kids and has been very patient and gentle with the kind of love and attention that only young kids can give. She also loves playing with her toys, being held, and getting lots of snuggles. Lucky does have separation anxiety, so she’s looking for a home that understands this and is willing to continue helping her feel safe and secure. With her current medication, she can tolerate being home alone for a couple of hours at a time. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will shower you with affection, follow you everywhere, and happily spend the day snuggled by your side, Lucky truly could be the perfect pet.
