Adopt a Maltese in Washington

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.

Washington's rescue dog community is active across Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma, and Bellingham. Many Washington rescues partner with regional networks for transport. A rescued Washington dog often comes through one of these well-organized programs.
