Neutered, vaccinated and microchipped,

Milo, is it sweetheart. He is a very calm respectful dog who is also playful, loves a good game of tug-of-war. He would love a young human 8+ brother or sister who would enjoy playing tug-of-war with him or an adult human would be fine as well. Milo is easy going . His previous owner stopped taking him to a groomer after he was injured by the groomer. He has been professionally groomer while in the rescue and was a bit anxious but allowed everything to be done. He was most anxious while getting his nails trimmed and having his ears touched. He does have some trust issues which are easy to overcome.

He gets along well with other dogs. His favorite things to do are to sit by your side or in your lap for snuggles and quiet time, but he is not the couch potato. He loves walks, play dates. He also loves to sit in the front seat with the AC blowing right in his face! He is a treasure!

Milo is very patient and easy going.

** Please note: Due to their size, our dogs are not suitable for homes with children under 5.

The only way to find out if one of our pups will be a good fit in your home is to fill out the online application on the Lil Paws website. Lil Paws is a very small organization, our volunteer time is reserved for interested persons who have filled out the application to adopt.

We do not have a facility, all dogs are fostered in the homes of our volunteers. If you are interested in adopting a dog from Lil' Paws Maltese Rescue and other Petite Paws, please visit our website at www.lilpaws.org and fill out an adoption application. This is the first step in our adoption process. Our goal is to place our dogs in safe, stable and loving homes in the Austin Metropolitan area. Thanks for looking!

Lil' Paws Maltese Rescue and other Petite Paws depends on donations to keep the dogs in our program healthy. Many health issues are taken care of before a dog leaves a rescue: spaying, neutering, immunizations, dental care, and in some cases major surgery. Because of the cost of this care, donations are essential to enable us to continue our work. If you would like to show appreciation for what we do and help us continue to do it please go to our website homepage and click the donate button. We thank you in advance for your support.
