Elaina is a nearly 3‑month‑old Maltese puppy with a cloud‑soft white coat and the sweetest, most thoughtful eyes. She’s about 4lbs now and expected to grow into a lovely ~12–14lbs as an adult. Her mom is a purebred Maltese, and we’re pretty sure her dad is, too — she’s all fluff, sweetness, and tiny‑dog charm. Elaina isn’t the “burst into the room and greet everyone” type right away. She’s a shy little blossom who likes to take things slow. But give her a moment to feel safe, and you’ll see her whole personality unfold — playful, cuddly, and quietly devoted. She becomes the kind of puppy who follows her people from room to room, happy just to be near you. Why You’ll Love Her Working hard on her outdoor potty skills Soft‑mouthed, gentle, and polite when taking treats Sweet with people and other dogs — just needs a minute to warm up Loves cozy naps, soft toys, and calm companionship Blossoms beautifully with patience, kindness, and routine Her Ideal Home Elaina would thrive with: A family who understands shy puppies and can help her build confidence A calm environment where she can adjust at her own pace A fenced yard for safe exploring and sunbathing A friendly dog sibling to learn from (not required, but helpful for her confidence) Health & Adoption Info Up‑to‑date on age‑appropriate vaccines and deworming Will be microchipped soon Currently in Texas; transport available to most Midwest & Northeast states Will need to be spayed between 6–12 months; we provide a $100 rebate once completed by your vet Elaina is a tender, thoughtful little sweetheart wrapped in a fluffy white coat. If you’re looking for a puppy who will bond deeply, love quietly, and grow into a loyal companion with your guidance, she’s ready to meet you — gently, slowly, and with her whole heart. NOTE: THIS IS AN “OUT‑OF‑TOWN PET.” That means she is not located at this facility. Our rescue is based in Houston, TX (https://www.facebook.com/TwilightTailsRescue), and all of our fosters and our Rescue Ranch are in the Houston area. Elaina is currently being fostered near Houston, but she can be transported close to your home on our monthly rescue transport, which travels through your area once a month. Transport details are provided below. Adoption fee is $595 plus $30 for a health certificate and $250 for transport. Please complete the application on this link: https://forms.gle/FKSMBuoGTujaTkun8 Or email sandra.TTR.TX@gmail.com for a link to the application. Once your application is approved, we can arrange a FaceTime session for you to meet her. Understanding transport: Once everything is all approved, dogs are scheduled on transport using AJC Rescue & Transport (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100083418067425). Transport means dogs are carefully and thoughtfully moved via scheduled air conditioned/heated vans from our doggy ranch in Fulshear, TX to a location near you. Each transport consists of a team of two drivers who can alternate. This is how we communicate in real time. The driver who is not driving, will be updating the group chat. You will be included in this group chat to track your dog through transport. You will also be given exact location and scheduled time of arrival. Our drivers do everything possible to run on-time however, things such as traffic, weather etc. can affect arrival time. You will updated regarding delays or possible early arrival. Keep in mind, dogs on transport stop for bathroom, walk and food breaks. For safety, all dogs are crated during transport. We use what we think is the best dog transport service in the region and have for years - Andrea and her crew really offer first class transport!
