Summer - Maltese Dog for Adoption in Closter, New Jersey

Meet Summer, an adorable 8-year-old Maltese weighing just 8 pounds. This sweet little girl has been through a lot in her life, and what she needs most now is some love and stability.

Summer is currently receiving the veterinary care she needs to get her ready for a fresh start. She's on medication for her heart and will be having dental surgery along with the removal of a fatty mass. These medical needs are being addressed so she can move forward toward a happier, healthier future.

Through it all, Summer has remained an absolute sweetheart. She's a little gem of a dog with so much love to give, and she deserves a family who will cherish her for the rest of her life.

We're hoping to find Summer a loving, stable home where she can finally feel safe, secure, and truly at home. This special little girl deserves nothing less than a lifetime of love and happiness.
