Dolly Parton - Maltese Dog for Adoption in Williamsburg, Virginia

We have the sweetest little small-breed puppies available for adoption through our rescue, and we want to be completely transparent about what these babies need.

Dolly is one of these puppies. She is about 12-13 weeks old and 2.9 pounds.

Because they are so small and delicate, homes with young children are not a good match. These tiny pups can be easily injured by rough play or accidental bumps. Even jumping down from a chair or couch can cause them to break a leg. We do think an active home with older children with experience with small dogs would be fine. These puppies do love to play, so another small, young, playful dog would be best.

Please also keep their long lifespan in mind — these little ones often live 16–18 years. We’re looking for forever families who are ready for that long-term commitment. Our biggest goal is to place them once and only once. We never want them to be rehomed.

These puppies were found on the side of a freeway so we are just guessing on the breed. They look like they are a Maltese mix.

If you have a home where someone is home most of the day, experience with small breeds, another small dog in the home and are prepared for nearly two decades of love, we’d love to hear from you.

These precious babies deserve the safest, most stable homes possible. Thank you for understanding and helping us protect them.

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.
