I just recently joined and have been reading a lot of the topics. I have really learned a lot! My husband and I adopted a 6 year-old Maltese from a local SPCA by the name of Tuffy on June 26. He is wonderful, and it was love at first sight. We also have an 8 year-old Pomeranian that we have had since she was a baby. Her name is Precious. I am looking forward to learning more about the Maltese from this forum.
Thanks everyone for the welcome! Tuffy is adjusting to his new home very well. In fact, I think he has taken over
He only weighs about 5 lbs., and Precious weighs about 11 lbs., but Tuffy has his bluff in on her! We have had some jealousy, but they both seem to be adjusting well.
thats awesome that you adopted. i didnt really know anything about maltese or adopting or puppymills when i got my babies. so did tuffy have a bad experience? like do you know why he was at the ASPCA?

We were told that the owners brought him and another malt in to SPCA because they were gone so much that they didn't have time to spend with them anymore, and they wanted them to go to a good home. My husband is retired, so he is home all day and has a lap available for him. I come home during my lunch hour and play with him, also. In the evenings and weekends Tuffy is on one of our laps or next to us. He sleeps between us at night. We were told he was not housebroken, but he always lets us know when he has to go out. He has only had 3 accidents since we got him, so I cannot complain about that. He has gotten totally spoiled in the short time we have had him. I don't think he was mistreated at all from his previous owners. He stands perfectly still when I bathe him or brush him.
Hi, all. Wanted to introduce myself and ask a specific question at this time. Just joined. We plan to get a maltese. My family is very dog-oriented. We have a male goldendoodle puppy we love to pieces and will be getting a bernedoodle puppy next. As many know, these are large dogs. Especially...

I am an old member but I had to reregister because I could not remember the email I had many years ago.
I wanted to let my old friends on here to know that Rain had to be put to sleep last week. She had cancer in her stomach and I couldn’t let her suffer anymore. It broke my heart and I hope...
