Hi, that is so admirable that you want to rescue a Maltese.... just some info about rescue groups, though. I'm not referring to municipal animal shelters, but rather, to rescue organizations.
They are extraordinarily picky about where they place their dogs. One of the reasons is that they want this to be the last home the dog has to go to, since most have had traumatic lives so far. Most rescue groups have very, very detailed and lengthy applications. Some won't place their dogs if you work during the day or if you have kids or if you don't have a fenced yard. I don't know your personal situation and you may be just what they are looking for, but I just wanted to mention this so you won't get discouraged.
They usually try to place their dogs in the home that they feel is right for that particular dog. So if they know already that a dog has separation anxiety, then they wouldn't want to place him in a home where he would be alone all day. Or if they have a dog that is not good with children, then they wouldn't place him in such a home. Or if the dog doesn't get along well with other dogs, they wouldn't want to place him in a home with one. Basically, they take the time to carefully evauate the dogs so they can place them in the right home.
So, anyway, that's about all I know about rescue but I wanted to share it! Hope it works out for you!

I have tried rescue orgs and you are right K/C mom they are picky and I totally understand their reason.
I have a fence backyard. I don't have children. the only problem I see is that I work 7 hrs a day. hubby leaves the house at 10 every morning and I dont get back home until 5:30. But I will still try the PMR and NCMR and see If I quilify.

I have also found a few people in my area that does Maltese Rescue and I will give them a call.
