Adopt a Maltese in Arizona

Maltese are gentle, playful, and devoted toy dogs with silky white coats. They appear in rescue often from puppy mills or grooming-related surrenders. A rescued Maltese thrives in attentive, lap-dog-friendly homes.

Arizona's rescue dog network is large and well-organized, especially across Phoenix, Tucson, and the surrounding communities. The state has high shelter populations year-round due to climate and border-region strays. A rescued Arizona dog often comes from a high-volume metro shelter.
