Maltese and Spaniel Dogs Available for Adoption in Alafaya, Florida

AN INQUIRY FROM PETFINDER IS NOT AN APPLICATION! READ THE ENTIRE POST FOR INFORMATION HOW TO APPLY.

Meet Marcus! Marcus is a 4 month old male maltese/spaniel mix and he weighs about 13 pounds. Marcus is still a growing puppy and we do expect him to get larger. Marcus arrived in rescue after being from an accidental litter. He has been thriving in foster care, but is ready to find a family that is up for all of the puppy challenges, such as leash training, house training, continued socialization and learning what to chew and not chew. His foster mom says: Marcus is a sweet and laid back guy who can be a little shy at times. He will often watch the antics of his foster friends from the sidelines before joining in. Once he gets warmed up though, watch out. He can run and rough house with the best of them. Marcus loves human attention and can often be found laying at his foster mom's feet just to be close. He is a good boy who tries hard to please in order to get some much sought after attention.

Marcus is neutered, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heartworm prevention and microchipped.

Marcus is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $525. If you are interested in applying to adopt Marcus, please visit www.floridalittledogrescue.com to read the adoption process and complete an application! Please note that emails simply asking "Is this dog available" will not be returned, as applications are worked in the order received and availability largely depends on when you apply:) Please also know we do not adopt out of state! Thank you!

They require regular grooming to maintain their luxurious coat and are suitable for apartment living due to their size and adaptability.
