Story
Please read the entire bio for this rescue, it will provide all the information that one needs to decide if they would like to apply to adopt from SCMR. Adoption fee:  $150.00   Draco is a 5 yr old, 7 lb, male Maltese with lots of love to give to the right home.  He would be fine in a home with older folks, since he loves to cuddle and snuggle!  He will stand on two feet for you to pick him up and cradle him in your arms.    He plays with the dogs in his foster's home but would love to get all of the attention from you. He also enjoys walks, car rides, cats, and showing affection by licking.   It is important to know that Draco does have aggression issues.  He will bite strangers, and he is protective of his space and may fight other dogs.  He needs a home that will understand this and work with him.  We thought we had found a great forever home for him, but he tried to bite the new family when they went to visit.  So Draco needs to have time, a lot of time,to adjust to his new home.  He may even need to be crated when visitors come to the home.  Because of his behavior concerns, anyone adopting him will be asked to sign an addendum to the adoption contract regarding his aggression.   Draco wears a belly band inside and goes outside for business.   Because of his young age, Please see our Senior for Senior adoption policy, the link to our website is https://www.scmradoption.com/policies   Draco is doing well in his foster home, so he is save and being loved in Largo, Fl while waiting for you.     He is being loved in Largo, Fl while waiting for you.   Adoption fee:  $150.00 Out-of-state adoptions are possible; however, the approved adoptive home is responsible for making the necessary arrangements to pick up their new little one.   To be considered to adopt me, please fill out an APPLICATION.   NOTE: SCMR DOES NOT adopt to homes with children under the age of 10 years or homes with Electric Fences. You can help make a difference one dog at a time. If you would like to sponsor one of our babies, we accept online donations via PayPal or send a check to us at P.O. Box 2005, Chattanooga, TN 37409. We thank you for whatever you can help us with. Any donation is appreciated and is tax deductible, as allowed by law,  as we are a qualified non-profit 501(c)3 organization.    All our males are sent with BELLY BANDS!    for a one time Donation that goes direct to SCMR please go to our paypal link: January 19, 2025, 6:33 pm
