Adopt a Maltese in Maryland

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.

Maryland's rescue dog community is active and well-organized, particularly around Baltimore, the DC suburbs, and Annapolis. Many Maryland rescues transport dogs from Southern states. A rescued Maryland dog typically comes through one of these active organizations.
