Rollie - Maltese Dog for Adoption in Sonoma, California

Rollie is a 2-year-old Maltese Terrier mix with a gentle soul and a sweet nature. He can be a little shy when meeting new people, but it doesn't take long for his curiosity to win out. Once he realizes he's safe, Rollie begins to show his affectionate side and enjoys being close to the people he trusts.

One of the best ways to help Rollie feel comfortable is through the company of other dogs. He takes cues from confident canine friends and feels much more at ease when he has a social, people-friendly dog around to show him that humans aren't so scary after all. Because of this, Rollie may thrive in a home with another well-adjusted dog who can help continue building his confidence.

As he settles in, Rollie's playful and loving personality starts to shine. He's looking for a patient family that will give him the time and encouragement he needs to blossom into the happy, confident companion he's meant to be.

If you're looking for a sweet little dog who will reward your kindness with loyalty and love, Rollie may be the perfect match.
