Maltese Dogs Available for Adoption in Candler, North Carolina

Bandit is a rascally little guy ready for adventure! He absolutely loves other dogs and, ideally, his new home will have at least one playful dog for mischief and fun. The sheer joy this boy has while running through the yard chasing bees is the cutest thing you will ever see. Therefore, a securely fenced in yard will be a must for him. Bandit is a busy body, and he will find stray socks that you thought you lost 2 years ago by diving and squeezing under any bed or dresser that he can fit under. He collects his trophies on his bed and then scatters them around right after you clean up. Bandit has proven to be a cat and chicken chaser, so he does have his mischievous side. He weighs 7 pounds but isn't fond of being carried around, he's very wiggly, and tries to escape your grasp, so this boy won't reach arm candy status until he's an old man. Bandit will require regular grooming every 8 weeks which will be at least $60 and we highly recommend Pet Insurance. Please take these factors into consideration. Bandit's adoption fee is $500.

All Mountain Pet Rescue (Asheville) animals are up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered and micro-chipped before adoption. Contact the foster parent or Mountain Pet Rescue at pets@mpravl.org for more information.

Please note that visual breed identification of companion animals has been proven to be unreliable, so for most of our animals we provide a best guess at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our animals as an individual and do our best to describe and place pets based on personality not breed label.

Mountain Pet Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit tax deductible charity (EIN 82-3039637) located in Asheville, NC.
