Jubilee came to PRBJ found as a stray. This tiny girl was covered in fleas and badly matted. She is super sweet but is timid around all the commotion at first. We're hoping to find a home that will give her the proper time to adjust, and  love and cherish this tiny girl forever!

Foster Update:  Jubilee is in a wonderful foster home and is described by her mom quite well: Jubilee was initially very shy and timid, but after a few days of adjusting to her surroundings, Jubilee has become a happy adjusted member of the family and is a picture of health. She prances after our smaller dog and relentlessly encourages him to play. She runs circles around our larger dog, who basically ignores her. She shows good learning aptitude, and responds to commands.  Her attitude is larger than her size; that is, she's very petite, but doesn't necessarily act like it. She might not be suitable for very young children, or anyone who doesn't realize that she could over-reach.  She is not housebroken at this time, but given her intelligence, we see that will be coming soon.

According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, this ancient dog was described by the Greek philosopher Theophrastus as belonging to the "Melita" breed, an archaic name for Malta. It was developed in Italy with the addition of miniature spaniel and poodle blood. It was thought that these lively little dogs were first brought to England by Crusaders returning home from the Mediterranean. The breed became particularly popular with women, who often carried them in their sleeves and even to their beds. The dog was not only popular with women though. Publius, the Roman governor of Malta, prized his Maltese enough to commission a portrait of "Issa" and even have poetry written about her. Today, the glamorous Maltese is an adored pet and sought-after show dog. The Maltese is spirited, lively and playful. Gentle, loving, trusting and devoted to its master. Highly intelligent. Good at learning tricks if he feels sufficiently rewarded. Bold and quick to sound the alarm in case of suspicious noises. It is a classical companion dog; graceful and lovable. They do well with other animals. Maltese love to play outdoors but have a penchant for jumping in puddles. A bath must follow! These dogs can be snappish with inconsiderate children and may be difficult to housebreak. Sometimes they are picky eaters. Include small biscuits and dry dog food in this breed's regular diet to help the teeth stay strong and healthy. Do not over-pamper or overprotect these little dogs, for some become unstable, and some may become jealous of visitors. They have a life expectancy of 15-18 years.
