The Maltese is a small dog. They make wonderful companions for apartment or condominium dwellers since they do not need a lot of space to exercise. Maltese are good with other small dogs. They can be barkers and are not known to be good with small children. There are Maltese and Maltese mixes that need rescue throughout Ohio.
Instructions
1. Foster a dog for Ohio Maltese Rescue. Ohio Maltese Rescue saves dogs from shelters, puppy mills and families that need to find new homes. The rescue relies upon foster homes to care for the dogs until they are adopted. Foster homes not only provide food and shelter, but also help train the dog and work on any problem behavior the dog may have.
2. Foster a Maltese or Maltese mix for an Ohio-based all-breed rescue group. All-breed rescues take in all sizes of dogs. Many work with foster homes that specialize in one breed or breed mix. Offer to help with Maltese or Maltese mixes. Find a local all-breed dog rescue on www.petfinder.com.
3. Visit your local animal shelter. Approximately twenty five percent of the dogs that enter Ohio animal shelters are purebred. While you may not find a purebred Maltese in the shelter, you could come across a Malt-poo or other "designer" breed that needs a rescue.
4. Contact your veterinarian, groomer and kennel operator. Let them know that you would like to rescue a Maltese. Often families that need to find a home for their pets contact their pet care professionals for help.
5. Watch Craigslist. Ohio has a busy pet community on Craigslist, where people who need to find homes for pets post requests. Carefully respond to the requests. Do not pay a large fee. Most rescue dogs will be offered for a small fee and the people will ask questions to make certain the dog is going to a good home.
