Toby - Maltese Dog for Adoption in Fairfield, Connecticut

Hello everyone! My name is Toby (short for Tobias), and I am a beautiful, tiny 6.3 lb male Maltese mix about 4 years old, and I am blind, possibly born blind, but it appears I can see shadows. I was living in Del Rio, Texas, when my owner passed away, and then family members placed me in the local dog shelter. It was very scary and confusing, but thankfully, a kind lady brought me home so I could be with a dog rescue and find a new forever family. I am neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and my veterinary records are packed and ready to leave Texas behind!

I am a sweet, gentle, easy, shy little boy, quiet as a mouse, not very active, and not very playful either. I don't understand dog toys, but I understand love, and although I am timid, I will literally melt into your arms when you hold me. Yep, I love my person/people and am the happiest boy in town when we are together. I am housebroken and potty pad trained, always a good boy at home, but being kept in a crate isn't for me. I need some space, and even a small room with a doggy bed in it would be fine while you are away. I do not have separation anxiety, and I do not mind a ride in the car, but I am scared of loud noises, thunderstorms, and walking on a leash. I am looking for a peaceful, quiet home without the busy activity of small children or young, playful dogs. I have long, soft, baby-fine hair that will need daily brushing and occasional grooming. My foster mom wants you to know that I am extremely sweet and don't seem to realize I have any disability at all! Inquire about me today.

The Maltese is a small toy breed known for its glamorous white coat, which is long, silky, and virtually hypoallergenic. They are gentle, affectionate companion dogs that thrive on human companionship and make wonderful family pets. Maltese dogs are playful, intelligent, and alert, with a confident demeanor despite their small size. They require regular grooming to maintain their luxurious coat and are suitable for apartment living due to their size and adaptability.
