Story
Jax is 4 years old his birthday is January 29th. We bought him from a friend breeder who breeds Maltese and Shi thus. He is a loyal dog, loves to lay by your feet, to lick your nose, to cuddle in a blanket. We are giving him up because I am currently in nursing school and my kids are currently involved in so many school activities it’s so difficult to give him the attention he deserves. We are heartbroken to have to come to this decision, but he is home alone most times. He does sleep in his crate. He knows commands such as sit, jump, give me paw, and stay when offered a treat. He loves to take out all his toys from his crate, he loves soft, plush, toys like a lamb or teddy. He knows when u say go get it, to run after his toy. He is pretty good at waiting until taken out to relieve himself. In a new location, as all dogs will mark his territory. I get him groomed about every 2- 3 months at PetSmart, he is only sensitive around his eyes but no other complaints.

Story
Barbara is a 14-year-old Maltese who originally belonged to my mother. Unfortunately, my mother is now seriously ill and can no longer care for her, and I stepped in to help. As Barbara has continued to age, her needs have increased beyond what I’m able to manage in my current situation. She is a sweet, gentle senior who has been deeply loved her whole life. At this stage, she is experiencing age-related incontinence and anxiety/whining, which require a calm environment, patience, and experience with senior dogs. I’m looking for a compassionate, senior-friendly home ideally someone experienced with elderly dogs, incontinence, and end-of-life care. A quieter home with someone who is present more often would be best for her comfort and well-being.
