American Maltese Rescue Organization
All AMA Rescue Maltese are cared for by approved foster families. Our available rescue dogs tend to
be located in areas of the country with active volunteers and available foster homes. More homeless
Maltese could be accepted if we had more foster families. Please consider this worthwhile experience.
General Maltese Information
It would be really difficult to find a more charming breed than the Maltese. Their intelligence and out-going personality make them a joy to own and their beauty attracts many admirers. Although the Maltese is a toy dog, this small breed is full of delightful personality with a zest for life. Their small size makes them easy to manage and they fit in with nearly anyone's lifestyle - from simple apartment living to being a world-wide traveler with a glamorous owner such as Elizabeth Taylor! The Maltese is happy to be your companion - ready to play and take walks or curl up in your lap.
