FOR FREE- 2 lb, 7-year old Maltese to a GOOD home

[DarcyInOregon]

You were very kind to take that little dog in.

My dog can hold her pee for many hours... so I think if this was a physical problem, she would NEVER be able to hold her pee... versus... just not holding her pee when I'm sleeping and not around to catch her pee on the floor.

I have a Maltese rescue group who is going to call me at some point.

I will also check out the Animal Rescue Klub.

Honestly, my little girl is adorable... and would be perfect for a little old retired lady who wants a dog to love. I know she would go quickly. I just want to make sure she ends up in a wonderful home.

Hi KSH, I think a rescue group is a good solution. The rescue groups screen the prospective new owners vigorously.

A few years ago I adopted my wonderful Anatolian/Great Pyrenees dog from the Anatolian Rescue Group. I will describe to you what I had to go through in order to qualify to adopt an Anatolian. My fence had to be at least 5 feet high and more than a backyard. That was ok because I live on 50 acres and have a few acres fenced, with a sort of farm fence combined with fancy gates, but not the kind of farm fence to keep cattle in because it is built to keep doggies in, and predators out, yet have spaces in the wire for the little critters like raccoons, squirrels, rabbits and such to pass through. Then two ladies showed up to inspect the fence, the house and the property. They walked the entire fence line to see if the Anatolian could dig under or jump over. They went through the house, to make sure that where I am in the house the Anatolian had enough room to plop down and be comfortable, like my upstairs office, or the bedroom. They checked out my other doggies for temperament. They checked on the kitties' temperament. They inspected my brands of doggie food and doggie treats. They called my vet and talked to him personally. They made sure I own a vehicle that can hold the Anatolian. They called on my neighbor across the road to check up on how I am as a doggie owner. The only things they didn't ask for were my tax returns and bank statements.

Here is a photo of the little Maltese I was lucky enough to own for 4 months. He was a real sweetie. And here is a photo of my wonderful Anatolian.

You sound like you are heart broken. But you know that you made the right decision... for him.

I'm sorry about your loss... but he is in a good home I am sure of it... and probably a better situation for him.

Good job on being an amazing doggie Mom.
