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 Will need to be spayed between 6–12 months; you can have this done at one of our Houston vets at no cost to you or we will provide a $100 rebate if this is completed by your vet.
