Underweight Little Leo is one of Metropolitan Maltese Rescue's newest addtions into foster care, coming to us from the , where he'd been surrendered by his former owners. Leo is greatly enjoying his foster home on the beach, and being in a quiet house after the super anxiety-producing noise and scariness he experienced in the shelter.

Leo has all new doggie supplies including a new bed, toys, treats, leash and an XXS harness which is still a little too big for ###S Lil Leo!

He's a very alert and sweet boy who likes to be held and is getting to know his new surroundings.

Lil Leo is on his way to a brand new wonderful life!

And we're on our way to a brand new wonderful weekend. TGIF.

After a lengthy series of three surgeries for a cherry eye condition, Metropolitan Maltese Rescue's Ruby has been adopted! While she was in foster care, we learned that Ruby, a year or so old Maltese and Poodle mix, needed a home away from a busy urban environment, would do best with another dog or dogs to play with, and would love a fenced-in yard where she can run, run, run.

What we found for Ruby has her in a suburban home with a big yard and TWO dog sisters. And of course, as evidenced by her name, she is the new crown jewel of her home. After coming to Metropolitan Maltese Rescue from the with nothing to her name, Ruby went off to her new home with a new bed and warm clothing she acquired from a couple-of-days stay with a previous adopter, who sadly had to return Ruby due to severe allergies of a family member. She had her own trousseau!

Hooray for Ruby! And hooray for weekends! TGIF

Wednesday Weight In update! This week Metropolitan Maltese Rescue does not really have any weight update, but we CAN give you the update that, due to his sufficient weight gain and a fortuitous surgical cancellation by another patient, Peppa was fast tracked into surgery last week. He is now a responsibly neutered citizen, and also had a drastic dental, losing 22 teeth. His adorable underbite is no more. His adorable smile remains, as does his loving and attention-seeking attitude. He is totally non-plussed by wearing a cone, and after the first night, seems to have no painful or bothersome side effects from his surgery.

Now Peppa just needs a forever home, as too does Salt.

We appreciate if our followers can be getting the word out by sharing the boys’ posts. With the participation of whole village, we hope to catch the eye of adoptive families.

Salt and Peppa are just hanging out today, ready and waiting to be adopted, and wondering why no one has expressed interest yet. They are such great dogs, and so cute!

Purple is Metropolitan Maltese Rescue graduate Paddington’s spring color. Because pink and purple goes so well together, he is accessorizing the purple background with a little pink tongue!

And no accessorization is needed today because the day is special enough! Hooray for Fridays! TGIF

It is Wednesday Weigh In time!

With plenty of good food and lots of muscle-building walks, THIS is a dog who, after 2+ months, is up to his ready-for-surgery goal weight of NINE POUNDS! Hooray Peppa!!

A query is in with his vet to see if she wants to have pre-surgical blood pulled and to get him on the calendar for neuter and dental!!!! 🎉🎉🎉

And once those are done, Metropolitan Maltese Rescue foster boy Peppa can be adopted!

And PS: at nine pounds, Peppa still looks freakishly thin!

Happy Monday, from Metropolitan Maltese Rescue's adoptable dog, Salt. He had a good weekend with plenty of walks and outings in Central Park, and while he thinks he is "at home" in his foster home, he deserves a forever home of his own. Might that be with YOU? Here is Salt's adoption profile: https://www.petfinder.com/dog/salt-75611500/ny/new-york/metropolitan-maltese-rescue-ny20/

Harper, now renamed Daisy, was surrendered to Metropolitan Maltese Rescue along with her littermate Sawyer (now named George) back in August 2024. They had been the products of an unplanned pregnancy and the family did not have the means to take care of them. Neither dog had had any veterinary attention nor were exposed to the outside world.

Daisy was matched with a fantastic foster-to-adopt family who had the perfect home that included lots of playmates for her to romp, play, cuddle, and occupy her time with, and people who was not out of the home for long periods of time.

Daisy was only 11 weeks old when she became part of their family as a foster pup, so while she waited to be spayed, and thus be old enough to be adopted, she enjoyed playing with all of her new fur siblings and going on lots of adventures, including camping!

Now that Daisy has been spayed, she was officially adopted by her family. She found a family that adores her and will always be filled with lots of play, love, and adventures.

Below is a note from Daisy's new mom:

Daily loves to run around her big yard with her daddy and her canine buddy Montana, (who is also a rescue pup) and snuggling with her mommy on the couch. She loves to chase her feline friends Ivy and Dusk around the house (they love her attention!). She’s a very loved little cutie!! Thank you, Metropolitan Maltese, for everything!

And so that story ends our week. TGIF.

It is Wednesday Weight in time for this boy here, Peppa! He is up another 2 ounces to 8.8. Remember, his goal weight to get neutered and have a dental is 9 pounds, and he started at 5.5 pounds. It is slow going, but he is headed in the right direction!

Pictured with him, of course, is Salt.

And that is our update!
