With a stunning, silky white coat, the gentle and always happy Maltese captures hearts with its irresistibly cute expression, marked by alert dark eyes and petite, delicately-chiseled features. Beyond its lovable appearance, this diminutive floofy companion boasts a cheerful, snuggly “Velcro” temperament, devoted to owners looking for a pampered, spoiled pet. Requiring only brief daily short spurts of exercise, followed by pampering, the Maltese is easily adaptable to just about any living situation and is easily litterbox trained. As calm housemates, they do best with children taught to be gentle and calm household pets. They provide unlimited affection, willingly reciprocated while sitting curled snugly upon laps. Considered hypo-allergenic and good for some allergies, this delightful little fluff ball requires consistent grooming sessions to thrive.
