Maltese and Pomeranian Dogs Available for Adoption in Los Gatos, California

🍦 Meet Marshmallow from the Ice Cream Litter — Early Applications Open!

Marshmallow | Maltipom (Maltese x Pomeranian | ~6 w/o

Meet Marshmallow — and if you think she's named for her impossibly soft, cloud-white floof, you're only half right. Yes, she looks exactly like a tiny, fluffy marshmallow come to life. But this girl also has opinions, and she will absolutely share every single one of them with you.

Marshmallow is the floofiest of the bunch in our Ice Cream Litter — five Maltipom pups who came to us with their mama after their family could no longer care for them. Where some puppies are seen and not heard, Marshmallow has decided that is simply not her style. She is the litter's most vocal member, and whether she's hungry, curious, playful, or just has something to say, she will make sure you know about it. Immediately. At volume.

Her gorgeous white coat is so full and fluffy it defies gravity, and those bright little eyes are always watching, always thinking, always plotting her next announcement. She's the puppy who will narrate your morning routine, provide commentary on your dinner, and absolutely let you know when it's time for bed — or time to wake up.

Marshmallow is looking for a home that LUVs a communicative, expressive little companion — someone who will listen (you won't have a choice) and LUV her all the more for it. She'll be your shadow, your alarm clock, your tiny hype girl, and your best friend.

At just six weeks old, she's still with mom, but early applications are open now and meet-and-greets are right around the corner. Come prepared to fall completely in LUV — and to hear all about it from Marshmallow herself.

📋 Marshmallow is not yet ready to go home — she's still with mom getting everything she needs. Submit your application now to get first dibs on a meet-and-greet!

All Mutt Luv Rescue pups receive a full health checkup, heartworm and parasite testing, are fully vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed/neutered before adoption.
