Story
Meet Khloe! This little Maltese lady somehow looks like a literal baby doll.
Khloe spent her ENTIRE life with one family, but as time passed, kids grew, and Khloe aged, they felt they could no longer care for her. So here she is, starting over in her golden years. It’s easy to see that her heart is a bit broken, but she's settled into her foster home beautifully.
Khloe's foster mom describes her as the sweetest, gentlest, most demure and unassuming little princess. A true sleeping beauty, she happily curls up and naps the majority of each day. Initially a bit hesitant about venturing into the yard, she now enjoys sniffing around and exploring. She’s a picky eater but has made her preferences clear: Greenies, string cheese, and fish are excellent. Kibble, canned food, and meds? Absolutely not. Freeze-dried food remains under consideration. Also, it is very important for her to bury her food with her nose before eating it. Makes it taste better.
Khloe is pee-pad trained and making great housetraining progress, sleeps straight through the night, and is happiest buried under a mountain of blankets. She doesn’t do stairs, isn’t into walks just yet (maybe when it’s warmer), and has never been crate trained ~ but when left alone, she simply curls up on her bed and has a good snooze while she waits for her humans to come back. She would prefer not to be picked up if it's avoidable.
Khloe would do fine with another small, calm dog or cat. She could also live with older children (maybe 8+) who are calm and gentle around her. She is a bit of a mimic, so if your other dog likes to bark, she will join in with the song of her people.
Khloe has hypothyroidism and, like many white fluffy royal pups, struggles with allergies that haven’t been well controlled. She's also working her way through possible pancreatitis for now. We’ve already started her on a fresh, allergy-friendlier diet and we’ve given her a proper medicated spa bath (which she handled like the quiet, gentle angel she is). Add a brand-new sweater and she’s serving soft reboot.
This quiet, sweet girl deserves all the love and all the soft sweaters. She is looking for a calm, patient home that will let her move at her own pace and remind her that she is safe, loved, and home again.
Khloe is approximately 12 years old and 9 lbs.
