 Babs is a darling Maltese girl who came to us from a shelter partner who confiscated 16 dogs (we took 3 of them) from a home that had 21.  The owner was 16 dogs over limit and was a backyard breeder and hoarder.  These dogs were clearly loved though not properly cared for.  They had not been to a professional groomer.  Our groomer was able to clean them up nicely going slow, gentle and encouraging them through the process.  Her new owner will have to have such a groomer on board to get her used to being properly groomed for the rest of her life.  We are looking for owners that have maltese or alike breed type experience.  Those who know how to properly take care of this breed ie: REGULAR DENTALS AND PROFESSIONAL GROOMING!
This doll is 10-1/2 years old and lost 18 teeth during her dental but does have some teeth still.  It's a Maltese thing.  If you can't afford the grooming and dentals, this is not the dog breed for you.
Because there were so many dogs at that home, they are not reliably house trained so much be taken out frequently and ideally contained in a pen with potty pads when you need to be away.  They will use the pads.  She does not walk on leash so a securely fenced yard is mandatory!  And they also are more at ease with other dogs around that are kind and welcoming.  Babs is a clown who lives for belly rubs and has a great personality.  She shies away from crazy, over the top dogs is all.  Of the 3 we took in, she is the only one that would probably do well without another dog in the home.  She is in great condition as well.  
She's now had current vaccines done, dental (she lost 20 teeth), lab work, micro chipped and been professionally groomed. She was the only one already spayed.
If you think you can give this doll a life time of love and proper care, please submit our adoption application for consideration.
