Maltese puppies and dogs in Oregon

-

Hi I’m Pierre with the pointy ears! My brother Philippe and I are two distinguished gentlemen of 15 years, and we come as a perfectly matched set of Maltese mixes .    We are a small dapper duo, about 10 lbs each, but our presence is mighty in the ways that count: loyalty, calm companionship, and the art of a good nap. Our previous person couldn't take us with them, when they went into assisted living. Underdogs Rock! Rescue saved us quickly so that we could stay together. Now we’re looking for a peaceful, loving home where we can spend our golden years together.  I’m a little more spry than my brother, and sometimes like to play and bounce around. Our ideal day involves an easy, leisurely stroll to sniff the interesting things, followed by the main event: finding the perfect, soft spot for cuddles and peaceful nap time.    Long hikes or frantic games of fetch though are too much for our little aging bodies, but we do like to play with toys occasionally! We have hearty appetites, love getting treats, and enjoy our daily walks.   As little seniors go, we have some expected aging health things like poor teeth, but we just went to the vet and got our bloodwork done and are in great shape for our age. Our rescue will be talking with the vet about getting a teeth cleaning and extractions if needed. We do well if we need to be crated, ride well in a car, and have good house training habits when we are taken outside as needed.   We have so much love left to give, and we're hoping to find a kind human (or two!) to share our peaceful world. High energy homes with active young children will be too much for us, but we’d be happy to join a home with other dog friends of similar energy.    Could you be the ones to give us the gentle, loving home we're dreaming of? Underdogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations and preventatives. Adoption fee for both is $390. They are being fostered in SE Portland. You MUST have an Underdogs Rock Rescue application on file to request a meet with an Underdog. An online Underdogs Rock adoption application can only be accessed at  https://underdogsrock.org/adopt-a-dog. You must be available to meet an Underdog in their foster's location or at your home and dogs are not held for applicants or shipped outside of the Portland metro area. Home checks are also part of the process and can be conducted virtually.

Please read this post in its entirety. Please acknowledge that you have done so. Your response serves as your preliminary application. Please provide the requested information. I cannot stress that enough. I need more than "I want a dog, live in a house, and will love him/her". Age-appropriateness is mandatory. You may feel that I am discriminating. I am. Age discrimination occurs in housing and employment. Not in pet adoptions. Thank you for understanding. Missy O' is an approximately 9-month-old Malti-poo, weighing approximately 17 pounds. this gal is snuggly, cuddly - on her terms. She'd rather cuddle you than you cuddle her. She loves to follow her person as they tend to chores, errands, shopping, and join in on outdoor gardening. She gets on well with other dogs, of all sizes. She is curious about cats; she'd rather not have them in her circle; I am sure the cats feel the same. She wouldn't hurt them, but just too much interest, I think. She is up to date on vaccines, shots, and is spayed. She loves going to the beauty parlor. O'Miss was well-loved and cared for. However, her owner is met with medical challenges. Her ideal home will be a young, exuberant, active family with a dog companion of similar vitality and size, and well-mannered children to have wonderful adventures. Tell us about you, your family, your activities, your property, the city you live in, other pets in your home, and whatever else puts you on top. The more information about you, the better. What can this companion expect from you, and what are your expectations of him/her? Additionally, we will not meet halfway. Please prepare to meet in person without hurry, and be willing to have a home evaluation and viewing of your social media. There is a fee for placement to offset medical and care. Age-appropriate placement is at the discretion of the guardian advocate. Please allow several or more days for a response, as I review inquiries. I appreciate your understanding—Raleigh's Rescue Advocacy. *DNA testing is not performed, and we can only give you an assumed breed or breed mix.
