Learn more about the Maltese.

Little Miss Sunshine is ready to find her forever home. This sweet little senior came to us when her previous mama say passed away. Previously to this, Sunshine spent the first 4 years of her life in a breeding facility, where she no doubt produced beautiful puppies. But that is no life for her. Since being in rescue, Sunshine has had a dental, a major hernia repaired, and of course had a beautiful groom. All of which she was perfect for. 

 

This girl has goals in life! First goal, Sunshine would really like a lap to lay on. If you want a lap dog, look no further! This is the dog for you. Sunshine will stare at you and OOOOOOO at you until pick her up and place her on your lap. At bedtime, she is ready to get on your bed and sleep on your head all night. Next goal, eat! This girl loves to eat. You have a snack, Sunshine expects you to share. And again she will bark and OOOOO at you until share. When it’s time to eat, Sunshine will run in circles barking at you while you get her meal ready. She is spunky little senior for sure. She is always making her foster family laugh. Sunshine loves car rides and will go anywhere with you. Sunshine will sit quietly in the seat next to you as you drive around. She is just the sweetest little ball of fluff and love. Sunshine gets along well with other dogs in the home, but she will growl at them if they invade her space while she’s sleeping. She’s not a dog that will snuggle with the others animals in her home. People are more her thing. Sunshine does not live with cats in her current foster home, but we do not think cats will be an issue in her new home. She has a very relaxed personality. 

Now, we will tell you that Sunshine is not leash trained nor is she fully housebroken. But she is perfectly pee pad trained. In her previous home the woman was elderly and didn’t take her outside so she may very well be trained to go outside. Sunshine has short little legs. She’s not able to do a flight of stairs, so you will need to be prepared to carry her up and down as needed. Again, she loves to be held so it’s not a problem, she will expect you to hold her like the baby she is, or thinks she is. Sunshine is content to be in a crate while you are at work all day. Just make sure you cover the crate or she will bark while you are away. 

 

If you think you can give Sunshine her perfect retirement home, make sure you apply today. You won’t be disappointed by how entertaining Sunshine promises to be. 

Sunshine is spayed, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, flea/worm treated, tested neg. for heartworm.  Since in rescue, she has also had a dental and a major hernia removal.  Her adoption fee is $ 400 to help with the cost of her medical bills.
