About Dubendorf

Meet Dubendorf, a male Maltese ready for adoption. At just 1 year old, he has a sweet temperament and is friendly once he feels comfortable. Dubendorf gets along well with other dogs and has previously lived with cats. Though initially a bit shy, he warms up quickly to those who show him kindness. This adorable small dog requires moderate grooming to keep his coat looking its best, so be prepared for some high-maintenance care in that department. He’s been neutered, vaccinated, and is in good health. Dubendorf came to us after being rescued along with twelve other dogs from a neglectful situation. Their past has left them a bit timid, but they are ready to embrace loving homes where they can thrive. Keep in mind, he’ll need a home without small children since he might feel overwhelmed in bustling environments. This little guy is looking for a quiet family environment where he can feel safe and secure. If you think you can provide that, don’t wait to apply!
