Maltese Dogs Available for Adoption in Zionsville, Indiana

Meet Shelby! Shelby is an almost 2-year-old, 8.9lbs, female Maltese. Shelby is a happy little girl who loves other dogs. She can be a bit shy at first with new people but doesn't take long to warm up. She does have grade 2 of 4 luxating patellas and is not experiencing any lameness issues at this time. She is still unsure of the leash and would do best in a home with a fenced in yard or an x-pen for her potty breaks.

The adoption fee is $500. This includes the spay, dental cleaning, microchip, heartworm test, wellness bloodwork, fecal flotation and all core vaccines.

If you are interested in adopting Shelby, please e-mail adoptions@thelovepetproject.org with "Shelby" in the subject. Please also tell us about yourself and your household.

They require regular grooming to maintain their luxurious coat and are suitable for apartment living due to their size and adaptability.
