About Whitney

Meet Whitney, a delightful 6-year-old spayed Maltese mix weighing in at 11 pounds. This tiny powerhouse has a bustling agenda, filled with her favorite activities. Whether she's enthusiastically chasing tennis balls, demanding belly rubs, or keeping watch at the Dunkin’ drive-thru, Whitney knows how to steal the show. When she's not busy managing the world around her, she loves going for walks, playing with stuffed toys, and lounging around while waiting for her next belly rub. Whitney's potty training is progressing nicely, thanks to a consistent walking schedule. She feels secure in a crate or playpen and gets along well with cats. While she’s making slow introductions to smaller dogs, she’s a bit wary of larger ones. Initially shy, Whitney warms up quickly and will happily become your loyal little shadow. Although her past injury required some hardware in her leg, she doesn't let it slow her down; she’s ready for adventure! Adoption requirements? Whitney simply needs her share of belly rubs, cozy sweaters, and a firm stance on her authority at Dunkin’. Start your journey together! Apply now.
