Meet Chino, a charming 4-year-old Maltese with a heart full of love waiting to be shared. Chino is a gentle soul who is still learning to trust and accept affection. He needs a quiet and patient home where he can be the center of attention. Once he feels secure, he blossoms into a devoted lap dog who cherishes your presence. He enjoys a good leash walk and is highly motivated by treats, especially cheese! Chino is not a playful dog and prefers quiet companionship.
Ideal Home
Chino would thrive in a home with a single person or older adult who has prior dog experience. He needs a calm environment with plenty of quiet time and consistent love. He prefers to be the only pet, as he is not playful with other dogs, big or small.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned.
Training & Support
Chino is working on building trust and accepting affection. He is treat-motivated and walks well on a leash. He needs a patient owner who understands that building trust takes time.
