Rescued Teacup Maltese - Abby

by Missy
(Beverly Hills, CA)

We adopted our 4 year old, 4 pound teacup Maltese 2 years ago. She had been dumped in a shelter and was rescued. I actually found her via petfinders.com. She is a lovely, loving little girl. Thank goodness she had not been abused in her prior home... but she had not been cuddled and shown love.

Abby was not house-broken and knew no words or commands. She did not even know "good girl"! I potty-trained her within a couple of weeks, although she does have accidents once in a while (they DO have tiny bladders).

Her health is good other than the periodic ear infections. I feed our teacup Maltese a raw food diet which she is thriving on. She is a little doll.
