Story
Zee, a working girl that was recently retired, is a precious little female Maltese that LOVES to snuggle. Her date of birth is 5/15/19. She was obese when rescued and needed to lose a couple of pounds before her spay so that it would be less traumatic for her. She is now spayed, had a dental, is up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative and microchipped. On 7/1/24 she weighed 10.4 pounds which is a healthy weight for her. Zee is being fostered in Arkansas. Her adoption donation is $1000 plus an additional $165 transport fee. She can walk on a leash but much prefers to be carried, like the little diva that she is. If you would like to give this little girl a fairytale retirement forever home, please complete the first step in the adoption process by filling out an online adoption application. You can find a copy of that application here. We sometimes receive a lot of interest on an animal and can't always reply to each email in a timely manner. An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. href="http://dhd.coffeecup.com/forms/bhsapp/">You can find a copy of that application here.
