About Maltese Dogs

Maltese are refined, gentle companion dogs with flowing white coats and an aristocratic bearing. Despite their elegant appearance, they're playful, spirited, and surprisingly tough little dogs. Their devotion to their owners and cheerful dispositions have made them beloved companions for thousands of years.

Adopting a Maltese means welcoming a loving, lively friend who brightens every day. They're ideal for apartment living, hypoallergenic, and wonderful for seniors and families alike. Their small size and gentle nature make them perfect therapy dogs and loyal personal companions.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

15°F to 45°F

Dec – Feb

Cold with periodic snowstorms, but frequent sunny days warm things up quickly. The dry cold feels less harsh than humid climates at the same temperature. Protect paws from ice and carry extra water as the dry air dehydrates pets.

Spring

28°F to 62°F

Mar – May

Colorado spring is unpredictable with warm days followed by heavy snowstorms. Cherry Creek State Park trails open up as conditions dry. Late spring brings the best balance of warmth and manageable trail conditions.

Summer

58°F to 88°F

Jun – Aug

Dry heat with low humidity makes summer more comfortable than eastern cities. Afternoon thunderstorms with lightning are common. Carry extra water on hikes as the altitude and dry air cause rapid dehydration in pets.
