Maltese female rescue from puppymill

Chariton IA

Description

ADOPTION PENDING Tidbit is a tiny 7 pound Maltese who was tied to a branch and sleeping in a doghouse when I got her. She was severely matted, underweight and covered with fleas. A former puppymill dog, she is 8 years old. Tidbit is a doll! She loves car rides, other dogs and cats, and being held. She doesn't like the cold, loud noises, or sudden movements. She was very afraid at first, but will now approach and ask for affection. She has a sweet and gentle nature, and would thrive in a quiet home. If you want a lap dog, she's your girl! We are still working on housebreaking when she is free in the house, but she sleeps in the people bed at night and doesn't have accidents. She is up to date on shots, had flea and tick preventative, is heartworm negative, and has been groomed. I have posted pictures before and after grooming. Health wise, her teeth look really good, but she does have a grade 3 or 4 heart murmur, which is pretty common in small dogs from puppymills. She is not yet spayed, and her adoption cost will vary depending in whether she is adopted before or after being altered.
