Lucky Maltese Mix East Lansing, MI

Hi there! My name is Lucky. I am a 10 year old Maltese mix weighing 10lbs. I was surrendered to a local shelter when my owners didn’t want me anymore.

I was in rough shape when I was given to the shelter. I had severe matting and was infested with fleas. Luckily the shelter took great care of me! When I was under anesthesia for my neuter surgery the staff shaved me down to get all the mats off me. Unfortunately I had large wounds from my skin ripping due to the mats. With time and medical care all sores and scabs have healed and fallen off! And man does it feel better with them gone! I have the softest, prettiest hair growing in too!

I am a silly, sassy boy. When I first meet people I can be grumbly talking to them. I do growl a little too but once I get comfortable with new people I stop that within a few days. I don’t play with other dogs or toys I would rather just snuggle with my hooman and a comfy blanket. I can live with dogs as long as they are calmer and respectful of my space. I am looking for a quiet home to relax in and have a human lap to keep warm. Please no kiddos for me though.

I love to be outside. I just wander around sniffing all the smells so a fenced in yard or an active walker would be good for me. I am nervous on a leash but I know I’ll figure it out with a little training. My foster mommy keeps me in sweaters since my hair is still growing in, so I hope my new home has cute outfits I can wear. Oh and I will require regular grooming so make sure I never have skin issues and mats ever again.

Lucky is neutered, just had a dental, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, current on heartworm preventative, and current on flea/tick preventative. If Lucky sounds like a match for you, please fill out an adoption application using the URL below:
