Story
Meet Doongi, a 5-year-old neutered male Maltese with a snowy white coat, weighing in at a petite 2.5kg! He will arrive in Calgary, AB on April 5th!!!
Doongi is a sweet little fluffball who was found wandering around a nursing home and brought to the City Shelter. We believe he was once cherished by an elderly person, and it certainly shows in his affectionate personality. Doongi is a true cuddle enthusiast—he’s not just friendly with people he knows, but also happily approaches strangers, snuggles into laps, and soaks up all the attention he can get. He adores both men and women equally and even welcomes children under 13 with the same gentle affection. Pick him up by slipping your arm under his belly—he’s completely comfortable being handled and loves being held close.
When it comes to other dogs, Doongi prefers the company of pups his own size. He’s not too interested in playing with larger dogs and may walk away if they get too excited around him. He’ll allow them to sniff, but he’s more of a people-pup at heart and doesn’t seek out doggy friends—though recently, he’s started playing with a roommate, showing that he can enjoy canine company once he’s comfortable. Cats? Not really on his radar. He’s spotted a few on walks and couldn’t care less, but we’re happy to do more testing if needed.
With a low energy level, Doongi is the ultimate chill companion. He’s calm, enjoys relaxing, and is happiest when lounging with his human. He’s a pro on walks—no leash pulling here! He follows along beautifully and doesn’t guard his food or belongings from people or other dogs. While he initially whined a bit for attention, he settled quickly and now waits quietly when left alone. Doongi may give a little bark when he wants something, but he’s generally quiet and well-mannered. He rides calmly in a crate and is house-trained to use both indoor pads and go potty outdoors. Doongi is truly a gem—loving, loyal, and ready for a cozy forever home!
