KayLee is a delightful 9-year-old Maltese who loves every person she meets. She was surrendered after her owner passed away. It is very apparent that her owner loved and cared for her so much as we have all of the medical records you could ever wish for. She even had a dental just prior to coming to foster!

The little dog is completely house trained, standing by the door when she wants to go out or come in. While she will not use the pet door, she has had no accidents in her foster home. KayLee knows her name, although is not reliable on recall. She walks well on leash and likes car rides. She is a beggar for food, so she may have been fed people food as a treat.

The only behavior noted on her owner surrender form was that she can become protective of the owner and may snap at people reaching towards her while in her owner's lap. We have not seen any concerning behavior from her. She has happily greeted everyone she has met and does well being picked up. Because of the possibility of snapping, it is best that KayLee not go to a home with small children.

KayLee sleeps on the foster’s bed at night when lifted up, but will sleep on a rug on the floor if desired. She isn’t much for getting on furniture if that is of concern to her prospective adopter. She is good with other dogs, but has not been cat tested.

Now for the fine print: KayLee is suspected to have heart disease and suffers from a grade 4/6 heart murmur. She also has been diagnosed with Cushing's Disease. Possibly due to the heart problem, she seems to have a collapsing trachea and should use a harness when on leash. These conditions are treatable with medication. However, they are expensive to manage, requiring regular monitoring tests and costly medications. She has not seen the veterinary cardiologist for an echogram yet, and probably should. These health issues do not slow her down. She is a happy-go-lucky girl!
