Meet Chino! This charming 4-year-old Maltese is searching for a tranquil haven where he can be the cherished center of attention. Chino is still learning to trust and open his heart, so patience and understanding are key. Once he feels secure, he blossoms into a devoted lap dog who thrives on your presence. He's a treat-motivated boy (especially for cheese!) and walks well on a leash, eager to please his special person. While he coexists with other dogs in his foster home, he's not a playful sort; his preference is for quiet companionship and affectionate petting. If you have a gentle spirit, a calm environment, and a warm lap to offer, Chino might be the loyal friend you've been dreaming of.
Ideal Home
Chino would do best in a home with a single person or an older adult who has previous dog experience. He needs a quiet environment where he can build trust at his own pace and will do well as the only pet or with other calm dogs.
Ongoing Health
Chino is healthy and has no known ongoing health conditions.
Training & Support
Chino is working on becoming more comfortable with affection and building trust. He is treat-motivated, which will be a great asset in his training. Consistency and patience will be essential for his continued success.
