Look at me! I am a Maltipoo puppy! My Mom is Ollie. I was born on October 5th and I will be ready for my forever home on November 30th!  I have been family raised on a mini farm in the country around children. I have had my shots and dewormers. I have been checked by a veterinarian.  For more information or to schedule a visit with me, please contact Effie Monday through Saturday. All Sunday calls will be returned on Monday. 

If you would like a dog that maintains its puppy look, even into adulthood, think no further than the Maltipoo.  This mix of a Maltese and Toy or Miniature Poodle is one such breed. They are an adorable, happy, playful ball of fluff who would be content in any family.  Although, the Maltipoo would be ecstatic to live with a family that would lavish it with lots of love and attention.  This companion breed is perfect for a first time dog owner,  a timid personality, or perhaps someone always at home.  Maltipoos make great therapy dogs due to their being highly sensitive.  However, because they are highly sensitive they can also develop separation anxiety when left alone too long.  The Maltipoo can live in an apartment or house, but it does enjoy barking, and your neighbors may not appreciate that.  They are a breed that requires living indoors, but they do need some exercise and playtime every day.  Early socialization and training would be helpful in order for good habits to be developed around children, pets, and strangers.  This charming and lovable breed would be content going for walks as well as snuggling on the couch.  Maltipoos are typically 8-14 inches high, and usually weigh between 5-20 pounds.  The single coat of the Maltipoo does require some maintenance to keep the fur from becoming matted.  Maltipoos can have a rougher, curlier, and thicker coat, but the breed is still a low shedder.
