Adopt a Maltese in Florida

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.

Florida's rescue dog population is substantial, with many organizations serving the state's urban and suburban communities. South Florida, Tampa Bay, and Orlando are major hubs for pet rescue and adoption.
