These puppies were not wanted, Both parents were not fixed and got pregnant! Owners made the decision to give them to us instead of the shelter. They are two months old. They need a foster home and cannot be adopted until they are neutered or spayed. If you would like to be a foster or foster to adopt, please fill out our application. They will have their first round of vaccinations, and we will keep up with the rest. They will need a home willing to train and teach them about being wonderful dogs!

Maltese

🧠 Temperament

Gentle, affectionate lap dogs who bond closely and prefer not to be left alone for long.

🎾 Exercise

Low — short walks and play.

✂️ Grooming

High. The silky white coat mats and stains without frequent brushing.

🏙️ In an LA apartment

Excellent small-apartment companion. Watch for separation anxiety and hallway barking.
