Maltese and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

Snowflake is a shy but sweet senior girl who would love to spend some time in a cozy foster home.

Reason for Foster: Pneumonia; Mammary masses; Possible dental in the future

Foster Time Frame: 3 - 4 weeks
(The foster time frame may be longer depending on future rechecks and medical needs.)

Foster Care Plan: Snowflake is currently being treated for pneumonia. Since she may be contagious to other pets, we strongly recommend housing her in a separate, dedicated space such as a spare bathroom or bedroom until she has fully recovered. She is also underweight and will need to be fed 3 times a day. Snowflake has mammary masses that may need to be removed once she has recovered from the pneumonia and we would ask the foster to keep an eye on the masses to report any changes. Additionally, she may be in need of a dental procedure in the future. Snowflake will go home with medications to be administered daily and she will need to occasionally return to the shelter for recheck exams with the vet team. A medical consultation will be provided at your pickup appointment and we will give you all the supplies needed to ensure you are prepared to care for this sweet girl.

Foster to Adopt: Snowflake is also available for our Foster to Adopt Program, which allows pets to be placed with prospective adopters before they become available for adoption.

The Maltese is a small toy breed known for its glamorous white coat, which is long, silky, and virtually hypoallergenic. They are gentle, affectionate companion dogs that thrive on human companionship and make wonderful family pets. Maltese dogs are playful, intelligent, and alert, with a confident demeanor despite their small size. They require regular grooming to maintain their luxurious coat and are suitable for apartment living due to their size and adaptability.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
