Pebbles must be adopted with her companion, BamBam (adopted).

Description:
9/2014 BamBam and his companion Pebbles were recently returned to PRBJ. Their adoptive owner stated there was absolutely nothing wrong with the dogs, he just felt he was not capable of taking care of two dogs and would prefer to own 1 older dog.  He did tell us that:

• BamBam likes to chew, so lots of chew  bones  would help.
• Both dogs love to snuggle with people for hours then would go in their crate and snuggle together.  
  

So, now we are looking for a foster and furever family to keepBammBamm and Pebbles together as the are very dependant and bonded with each other. Will you be that special someone?

Pebbles came in owner surrender with BamBam.  These two beautiful dogs will make a great additon to a home that can shower love and attention on them.  They love to play, cuddle together, and would shower love right back to you.

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.
