Meet Alva, an adorable Maltese girl who looks like a little lamb and is ready to discover what it means to be loved. At 7 years old, Alva has a gentle and sweet disposition. She joined us from a Wisconsin breeding farm, likely having spent her life producing puppies. Though she may be considered a senior, Maltese dogs often enjoy long lifespans, so Alva could have many more happy years ahead. She’s shy but quietly charming, seeking a family that will cherish her and help her learn that life can be about her needs too. Alva has likely never lived in a home before, so everyday things may be new to her. For this reason, we believe she would thrive in an environment with another friendly and confident dog to guide her. She deserves a chance at a loving home, where she can be someone's cherished companion. If you have space in your heart and home for this gentle soul ready for a fresh start, Alva might just be the perfect match for you. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
