Meet Chino! This handsome 4-year-old Maltese is searching for a serene home where he can be the sole focus of affection. Chino is a sweet soul who is still learning to trust and accept love, but once he feels secure, he blossoms into a devoted companion. He enjoys quiet moments and will be happiest with a single person or an older adult who has previous dog experience and can provide a consistent, peaceful environment. Chino is treat-motivated and walks well on a leash, making training a rewarding experience, especially if cheese is involved! While he coexists with other dogs in his foster home, he prefers not to play and instead cherishes lap time and human companionship. He's known to greet his foster dad with enthusiastic pawing for attention. If you have a gentle spirit, a patient heart, and a warm lap, Chino might be the perfect loyal friend for you.
