About Jeffrey

Meet little Jeffrey, a small Maltese Terrier mix weighing around 8-10 lbs with charming white and beige markings. He was abandoned in the high desert but has since thrived. Estimated to be about 1-2 years old, Jeffrey is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. His personality shines with a sweet and mellow demeanor. While he enjoys the company of other dogs, Jeffrey is more of a human lap dog and prefers to simply relax with his people rather than engage in play. Crate trained yet not too fond of it, he would rather follow you around the house. A quiet small household suited for his companionship would be ideal. Jeffrey isn’t a fan of being left alone for too long, as he can get lonely. He’s looking for that special someone to form a heartfelt bond with. If you think you could be Jeffrey's perfect match, please reach out for more information!
