Princeton - Maltese Dog for Adoption in Phoenix, Arizona

Princeton is 11 pounds of athletic talent, silly charm, and enough confidence to make himself right at home. This 3.5-year-old Maltese mix is social, playful, and ready to turn just about any outing into a good time.

Princeton has excellent leash manners, which means he's already ahead of the class when it comes to neighborhood adventures. He walks beautifully and seems to understand that a good stroll is an opportunity to explore rather than an excuse to drag his person down the street.

He's also a wonderfully silly guy. Princeton has the confidence to jump into the action, the athleticism to keep up, and the social personality to make friends along the way. Basically, he's the student who somehow manages to excel while still finding time to make everyone laugh.

Forget the Ivy League—Princeton's real specialty is making friends. He's confident without being full of himself, social without being overwhelming, and always ready for whatever comes next. His résumé is already looking pretty impressive.

Princeton is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and tested negative for heartworm on his 4DX test. He's ready for a family who wants a fun-loving little companion with confidence, good leash skills, and plenty of personality.
