Tino was Twice abandoned. But not broken.
Tino’s story begins with heartbreak. First surrendered by his original owner. Then again—passed on to a grooming salon by a second family who made it clear they want him out and surrendered to the grooming salon. That kind of loss leaves a mark. And for a while, it showed.
He struggled with separation anxiety. Every goodbye felt like the end. Every silence, a question: Will I be left again?
But slowly, gently, Tino began to heal and getting used to his foster home routine.
He’s now more confident. More trusting. He’s learning that love can stay. That humans can be kind. That the leash means joy, not goodbye. He cuddles freely, plays softly, and shares the sofa with our Salukis like he’s always belonged.
Tino is a 4-year-old Maltese boy—neutered, fully vaccinated, teeth cleaned — couple of them needed removal, and with clear blood work. But what matters most is his heart. And it’s blooming.
He’s friendly with dogs and cats, and he thrives in calm homes with someone often around. He’s not suited for high-energy environments or young children—he needs peace, presence, and gentle companionship.
