There is no shortage of Maltese looking for homes, and there is no shortage of homes to adopt them.
The missing parts of the equation are the foster homes and adoption.

Maltese and Maltese Cross dogs are delicate creatures who are vulnerable to broken bones, infected eyes, heart conditions, severe emotional issues, rotten teeth, emaciation or excessive weight, nervous system disorders, cancer/diseases, internal infections, fur conditions, mobility problems, loss of sight and other difficulties if left in surroundings not fit for them. Most of the above mentioned could be avoided by keeping them in a home-safe environment. Since Maltese are indoor pets they thrive on love, companionship and the home environment.
Maltese Rescue doesn’t use a sanctuary, shelter or kennels. We operate entirely with foster homes. What benefits have we found by doing this? Small breed dogs placed with people do not suffer from the post-traumatic effects of being in a shelter. This includes restlessness, tension, panic etc.
Our Unique Approach
Our Unique Approach
Maltese Rescue provides a home to home service for all Maltese breeds in South Africa. Our aim is to keep them out of any situation where they would have to be in a kennel cage or away from human contact. Maltese who go from one home to another have a much less chance of becoming traumatized and will transition much better in their new home.
