Meet Hayes, an adorable 10-pound Maltese mix estimated to be around 3 years old. He has a playful, sweet personality and loves tossing around stuffed animals—especially his Lamb Chop—and snuggling under cozy blankets.

Hayes may be cautious with new people at first, but he warms up quickly once he feels safe. He is affectionate, patient, and gentle with children, and currently lives with a 3-year-old in his foster home. He enjoys playtime, companionship, and plenty of affection.

Ideal Home

Hayes could thrive as the only dog or with a confident, similar-sized dog whose energy matches his. He enjoys peaceful walks with space to explore and can be leash-reactive toward unfamiliar dogs and strangers who approach suddenly or move quickly. A fenced backyard would also give him a comfortable place to play.

Ongoing Health

Hayes will be adopted neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm negative.
