About Topsy . Lb

Meet Topsy, a sweet Maltese who’s around 5 years old and weighs about 9-10 lbs. She was surrendered with her friends, Mopsy and Flopsy, and now she’s eager to find a loving forever home. Topsy is a bit shy and quiet but definitely not aggressive. It seems she’s had a past in breeding and is now learning how to be the dog she deserves to be. Her trainer notes that she’ll need some guidance with potty and leash training, which wasn’t prioritized before. Topsy is friendly with other dogs, so having a fur sibling could help her adjust even better. She’s ready for real love and a family to call her own. The $450 adoption fee covers her vet exam, spay, dental cleaning, up-to-date vaccinations, deworming, heartworm test (which is negative), and microchip.
