Maltese and Havanese Dogs Available for Adoption in Beavercreek, Oregon

Ladonna was rescued in California after she was seen by a Good Samaritan being chased by a group of children who were kicking her. The Good Samaritan got Ladonna into their vehicle and to safety. Thankfully, Ladonna was ok after the ordeal and she is a resilient, sweet dog. No owners came for her when a found dog report was filed with the shelter. Now Ladonna is ready to start a new life where she has stability, love and safety.

- Approximately 3 years old. Vet estimated 5 years old but her teeth are really white. 11.5 pounds but needs to gain 1-2 pounds still to fill out. Poor girl is a little underweight.

- Possibly a Maltese mix. She has soft, long white fur that is so pretty!

- Female adopter preferred. She bonds strongly with women. She has not been adverse to men. But she does seem to gravitate towards women more.

- Would love a home as an only dog if she had her choice. Ladonna really bonds strongly to her human and loves to show affection and cuddle. She doesn't love to share her person with other dogs. She is fostered with two other small dogs and generally gets along well. She may just need further boundaries set to help her not feel jealous of other dogs getting attention. She can go on walks and be around other dogs without issue. She just mainly protects her person from other dogs while on the couch or bed.

- Cuddly, affectionate, loving little dog

- Has been excellent with her potty habits!

- Doing well in the crate but would love to sleep in bed with you if she had the choice.

- Walks nicely on leash and we have not seen any leash reactivity.

- Good with cats and was fostered with a cat and ignored it.

- Kids ages 10+ if there are children in the home.

Ladonna is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, heartworm tested negative, and current on flea/tick/heartworm prevention. Her adoption fee includes a free wellness exam at one of our partner veterinary clinics in Oregon City, Milwaukie, Portland or Tualatin.
