About Paquita
Meet Paquita, a spayed female Maltese who is around ten years old. This small senior dog entered the shelter in rough shape, suffering from severe matting, a flea infestation, and painful dental issues. After having most of her diseased teeth removed, she now happily eats wet food. Though she had to be shaved to remove matting, she’s looking more comfortable and content than ever. Paquita may appear timid in the shelter but is ready for her forever home where she can feel safe and loved. She still has plenty of spirit and energy, showing that she acts much younger than her years. Paquita is eager to find a home where she can decompress and enjoy her retirement years.
