About Tyler

Meet Tyler, a 14-year-old Maltese who packs a lot of love into his tiny body! Weighing just 7 pounds, this little guy may have a few gray hairs, but he's got plenty of warmth and affection to offer. Tyler's journey to The Animal Pad started on a sad note when his previous owner decided he was 'too old' to care for. Fortunately, a kind-hearted person stepped in just in time to save him from a heartbreaking fate. Now he’s looking for a loving forever home where he can enjoy his golden years. Despite being a bit shy at first, Tyler is quick to warm up, especially if there's a cozy lap ready for him. He thrives in the company of his favorite humans and loves snuggling up. Gentle walks and backyard explorations bring him joy, while napping is his favorite pastime. Tyler is friendly with dogs of all sizes and is great with children, though he'd prefer a home with gentle kids who understand his delicate nature. This sweetheart is mostly housebroken, crate-trained, and walks like a dream on a leash. Remarkably, he doesn't experience separation anxiety, making him a perfect companion for those who spend some time away from home. Tyler dreams of a quiet, stable household where he can bask in love and comfort. If you’re searching for a loyal companion to curl up with, Tyler could be the one for you! His adoption fee is $250, which covers neutering, vaccinations, and microchipping. Let's give him the happy ending he deserves!
