Bisart Dobes Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Hi - my mother in law recently lost her Maltese X and is missing her so much that they have started the search for another dog. Fantastic home, the dog will want for nothing, her last girl - Suzie was 19 years old this year. I would give them a dog but ours are too big . They have suggested going to the pet shops but then asked if there was any way I could help. There is one Malt in Mildura we are looking into that is with a rescue group but I was thinking that maybe someone knows of another Pure bred that is looking for a good home a bit closer. An older puppy / dog is needed as I don't think they could cope with a baby puppy. Any help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dju Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) You could ask some of the Maltese breeders in the listings on DOL? There's one adult up there in the "mature" place but they're in Brisbane, so.. Maybe look into rescue/pounds? There are heaps of Maltese/Maltese X's that need rescue and would probably love a home Edited September 19, 2011 by Dju Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mita Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) Have a look at Bobby, for adoption from a Melbourne-based rescue (one that's impressed me with their standards). http://www.petrescue.com.au/view/118346 Your MIL might also like to look through the pages of small dogs available for adoption from Victorian rescue groups. Bobby's just one of them. http://www.petrescue.com.au/search/?a=d&g=a&s=s&l=vic&i=0&pg=1 Edited September 19, 2011 by mita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisart Dobes Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 Thanks - yes looked at the dol malt pages. Yes - we have started the process with 'Millie' on the pet rescue site. There are a few others I have saved to favs for them to look at - my partner is going to help them tomorrow with the pet rescue application. Breaks my heart to look through at all those faces looking for a loving home . Qld is a bit far - they would prefer to meet the dog prior to adopting - being elderly it needs to be the right one for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Her Majesty Dogmad Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I'd recommend contacting "Rescued with Love", Kae and her foster carers do a great job and take Malt types all the time. You can Google "Rescued with Love" and you'll find their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toy*dog Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 as i advise all people who ask me to assist them with finding a dog, put your name down with the maltese club in vic, and/or some breeders by ringing them personally and ring the puppy sales person in the club and advise them the age you want and usually they have breeders who have something they are looking for a good home for but don't advertise it or know of something coming up in future.

Bisart Dobes Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for their assistance both here and privately. Unfortunately my mother in law went and bought a 14 week old Maltese from a pet shop and then has rung 3 times for advice on pretty much everything. My last answer was not so polite - 'Perhaps ring the pet shop, they will help you with this won't they' . . . Hmmmmmmm . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
