Female Maltese for sale (SOLD!)

We first trained her on pads, but she would have nothing to do with it. She actually WANTED to go outside.

And I agree -- she would be so happy in a home with another malt to keep her entertained.

UPDATE: My health is not cooperating at this time, and I have put the search for a new home for Lizzie on hold until I feel better. I just can't deal with all of that right now. I will keep everyone posted. In the meantime, Lizzie has been a complete and utter angel for 4 days straight -- not a single problem out of her. Either she knows something's up with her, or she senses that I'm not well...whatever the case, it's been a rather nice change and our household has been peaceful again.

No sooner than I posted my last post here when my phone rang. It was a lady responding to the picture ad of Lizzie that I posted at my vet's office a week or so ago. She sounds promising -- she's already got a 4 yr old female Maltese that she's had since she was 8 weeks old. She and her husband live in a swanky community not far from me, so I could visit Lizzie from time to time. We are going to get together this weekend. I told her that I want to see her malt interact with Lizzie before anything else occurs, and she said that she would bring her over. If I like what I see, I'll go over to her house and we'll take it from there.

So, WHY won't anyone buy Lizzie?!! She has GOT to find another home soon...she's driving me nuts! (I recently placed an advertisement for her on our local newspaper's online version and said "serious inquiries only" and "references will be required." Could that be why I'm not getting any response??)

I'm keeping in line with what others are asking for malts in my area. In fact, there are a few people advertising malt puppies for $1,000!!! I think $750 is reasonable considering she's already been spayed, microchipped, obedience trained AND housetrained. (And I AM trying to pass her off! Seriously, she'd make a great dog for someone who has a lot of time to spend playing with her. I'm just not that person.)

What are everyone's thoughts on the amount I'm charging?? (And please don't start an argument/debate here -- it's a simple question.)

Yes, I have advertised at my vet and plan on putting up signs at other area vets. Groomers -- now that's a great idea!

The ad is only online at this time. The Charlotte Observer charges an astronomical amount for a classified ad in their newspaper, so I am trying to avoid that at all "costs." lol I think the online version gets a lot of traffic. I used to check it almost every day when I was looking for a malt. In fact, that's how I found Lizzie's breeder. =)

My search for THE perfect home for Lizzie has come to an end: Joe will be adopting Lizzie!!!!!!!!

I couldn't be happier about this!!!

Yes, OUR Joe!! See why I'm so happy???

He'll be picking her up around the last week of August after his vacation.

I think I might miss her.... But I know this is best for everyone. We just never bonded and I don't think there's any hope of that happening. She's crazy about my husband, of course!! They have THE best time playing together.

BTW - Joe, I'll be sending all of her toys and accessories along with her.
