Story
Hope is a little Maltese with a big heartand a past we can only imagine. At just 34 years old and only 5 pounds Hope has already been through more than any dog should. We dont know what her life was like before rescue, but when she arrived, her left eye was horribly infected and damaged so it had to be removed. She was spayed and had her teeth cleaned as well and has been deemed a healthy girl ! Thankfully, that chapter is behind her now. She has healed beautifully and is finally ready for the part of her story she has always deserved: a loving family of her own. Hope will need a patient, understanding home where she can learn that she is safe, cherished, and truly loved. She enjoys having her head and belly rubbed, although when shes had enough, shell simply wander off and find a quiet place to relax. She would be happy as your one and only, or with another small, gentle dog. Large dogs make her uncomfortable. Shes frightened by loud noises like vacuums, thunder, and lightning, and shes still learning that the world doesnt have to be scary. She uses potty pads and will also go outside when she has a securely fenced area. Leash walking is new to herright now, she freezesbut her foster family is patiently working with her. Shes also learning sit and doing wonderfully! And if you happen to have a tasty treat? Well Hope is VERY food motivated. Give her something that smells delicious and shell put on an entire little song and dance to convince you she deserves it. Hope doesnt need a perfect family. She needs a patient one. A family willing to show her, day by day, that gentle hands, soft voices, belly rubs, warm beds, and unconditional love are what life is supposed to feel like. She has already survived the hard part. Now she just needs someone to help her discover how beautiful life can be. Could you be Hopes forever?

Story
We are still getting to know this sweet Malshi (Maltese x Shih Tzu) puppy's individual personality! She is very young, and her personality, energy level, and adult size will continue to develop as she grows.   Malshis are famous for being affectionate, outgoing, and gentle companion dogs. Combining the sweet, playful nature of the Maltese with the sturdy, loving charm of the Shih Tzu, these "toy fluffs" thrive on human companionship and make wonderful family members. They are intelligent and generally quick to learn, but their small size and sensitive nature mean they thrive best with gentle, positive reinforcement training.   As a young puppy, she is still learning the ropes. Adopters should be prepared for typical puppy behaviors, including teething, chewing, house-training accidents, frequent potty breaks, and bursts of playful energy. She will need patience, consistent routines, early socialization, and plenty of love and attention to grow into a well-rounded adult.   The Right Home   This Malshi puppy will thrive in a home that can provide: Patient, consistent house-training and frequent potty breaks Positive-reinforcement training and early socialization Daily playtime, mental enrichment, and age-appropriate exercise Plenty of companionship, cuddle time, and daily attention Patience through normal puppy phases like teething and chewing A lifelong commitment to regular grooming, coat care, and veterinary visits She is not a good fit for someone looking for a dog that can be left alone for long periods immediately, or who expects a puppy to arrive fully house-trained.   About This Dog Breed: Malshi (Maltese / Shih Tzu mix) Age: Puppy Health: Current on age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and provided with a health certificate. Adoption Details   We only adopt within Illinois and Wisconsin and only respond to applications made on our website at thecharlieprojectdogrescue.com.   An adoption fee of $800 fully covers essential medical start-up care, including current vaccines, future boosters provided by one of our rescue volunteers, as well as future alteration surgery and rabies vaccination at one of our partner veterinary clinics. Alternatively, we offer a $100 reimbursement if you prefer to use your own primary veterinarian for the alteration surgery.   Licensed by WI DACPT #506053 Please visit our website www.thecharlieprojectdogrescue.com to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs.
