Maltese Dogs Available for Adoption in Loxahatchee Groves, Florida

I came to Big Dog Ranch as a breeder release after spending my whole life in heartbreaking conditions, used over and over for puppies and rarely touched with kindness. I don't know what it feels like to be part of a family, and I've never even had a leash clipped onto me. The world outside my cage is completely new and sometimes scary. It may take me months to understand that hands can be gentle and homes can be safe, but deep down I'm hoping someone will give me the patience and love I've never had. With the right person, I know I can finally learn what it means to be more than a number... to be loved.

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.

Our Mission is to Rescue, Rehabilitate and Educate until every dog has a loving and safe place to call home....
