Maltese Dogs Available for Adoption in Mission Viejo, California

Pookie (Red ) and his brother Max (Silver) share an unbreakable bond and are looking for a forever home together. At around 10 years old and 12 pounds, Max is the easygoing half of the duo, often keeping a watchful, caring eye on his beloved brother.

Both Pookie and Max are incredibly sweet, affectionate souls who thrive on love, cuddles, and simply being close to their people. They would be happiest in a calm, cozy home where someone is around most of the time—perhaps someone who works remotely or is retired—so they can enjoy the companionship they cherish so much.

If you’re looking to open your heart to not just one, but two devoted little companions, Pookie and Max are ready to fill your days with warmth and love.

To meet Pookie & Max, please complete the adoption application at www.greatpets.org. Their adoption donation is $400 and includes their vet exam, vaccinations, flea control, microchip, bloodwork and fecal exam.

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.
