Maltese and Poodle Dogs Available for Adoption in Santa Monica, California

Fun, Friendly, And Such A Happy Girl....Meet Tali!

This lovely little girl is Tali and she is a 3 year old, 17lb, Maltipoo (Maltese/Poodle mix) with maybe a touch of Schnauzer. Whatever she is...she is such a cutie! Tali came to us when she was found abandoned on the scary streets of Tijuana. Thankfully, an amazing rescuer we work with out there found her and got her to safety. She reacheded out to our foundation and asked if we could take her in and we said yes! She is happy, playful, fun, energetic, and full of love! Tali is always the dog that can open up any dog and get them to play! She is very bonded to her good buddy Freddie a 9 month old Spaniel/Maltese mix that has Cerebeller Hypoplasia, so we are looking to place them together. A home with a safe and secure yard is a must as she loves to run around and do the zoomies! Owners that are not gone long hours during the day would be ideal. Tali had a rough beginning to her life so we promised her that we would find her the best forever home out there!

Tali is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped.

We only adopt in the Greater LA areas as an in person meet/greet, home check, and trial period are required.
