Meet Maloos! 🌟 This adorable 4-year-old mini poodle weighs in at just 9 pounds, but don’t let her size fool you—she’s packed with a heart full of love! Named after the Farsi word for 'cute,' this little gem has overcome so much and is ready to shine in a forever home. Imagine the courage it took for our sweet Maloos to transition from a life filled with anxiety to one where she’s learning to embrace the world around her! 🐾 When Maloos first arrived, she was understandably nervous and struggling with blindness due to untreated detached retinas. She would walk in circles, lost and confused, but with a sprinkle of love and a dash of patience, she has made remarkable progress. Now, the world is her oyster! 🐚 Maloos confidently enjoys her walks, thanks to a special halo that helps her navigate. Can you just see it? A little poodle wearing her halo, exploring and sniffing out new adventures! However, she's got her quirks—she’d appreciate a calm, adult-only home where she can be the only pet. 🚫🐕 Maloos can be a bit protective of her food, and her little growl means, “I need my space!” Living with Maloos means being prepared to care for her unique needs. She will require lifelong daily eye drops to keep those peepers healthy. Oh, but she’s learning, and with your gentle touch, she can become more comfortable with them. Maloos is on a journey of building confidence, and she seeks a loving family who will continue to show her that the world is a safe and warm place. If you're ready to open your heart to this extraordinary pup and provide her with a nurturing home, don’t wait! 🏠 Apply through the Buddy App today to start a beautiful journey with Maloos!
