Maltese Dogs Available for Adoption in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

Meet Taco! This 17-pound, 9 year old Maltese mix carries his years with grace. He may be 9, but Taco’s heart is timeless—and anyone lucky enough to know him gets to feel just how big it really is! He came to us after his family could no longer care for him, but he isn't letting his past stop him from stealing the hearts of everyone he meets. He is the perfect balance of snuggly, playful, spunky, and laid back.

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.
