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 Albuquerque, NM

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

25°F to 50°F

Dec – Feb

Albuquerque winters are mild with light snow that melts quickly and plenty of sunshine. The bosque trails along the Rio Grande are pleasant for winter walks. Nighttime temperatures can drop below freezing, so bring a coat for your pet on early morning outings.

Spring

38°F to 72°F

Mar – May

Spring brings warming temperatures and blooming desert wildflowers. Wind and dust can be an issue in March and April, so keep walks to calmer periods. The Sandia foothills trails are excellent for hiking with your pet as conditions improve.

Summer

62°F to 92°F

Jun – Aug

Hot, dry summers demand shade and water on every outing. The high altitude means stronger UV exposure, so light-skinned pets may need sun protection. Monsoon thunderstorms arrive in July and August, bringing sudden downpours and flash flood risk in arroyos.
