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.

Adopting in Chandler, AZ

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

42°F to 65°F

Dec – Feb

The best season for outdoor pet activities in Chandler, with comfortable temperatures and abundant sunshine. Morning walks may be cool enough to warrant a light layer for short-haired breeds. This is peak time for enjoying the San Tan Mountain trails and Chandler’s well-maintained parks.

Spring

55°F to 92°F

Mar – May

Temperatures climb rapidly from pleasant to hot, so shift walk times earlier each week. Desert wildflowers bloom after wet winters, making trail walks especially scenic. By May, ground temperatures become a concern, so start testing pavement before every outing.

Summer

78°F to 107°F

Jun – Aug

Extreme heat makes outdoor activity dangerous for pets during all but the earliest and latest hours. Walk only before 6 AM or after 9 PM, and always test pavement temperature first. Monsoon storms in July and August bring sudden dust storms and heavy rain, so bring pets indoors when storms approach.
