About Lando
🐾💙 Meet Lando 💙🐾
1 year and 1 month of happy dances, expert cuddles, sunshine zoomies and one very important life mission... making sure you're never lonely. ❤️
Hi!
I'm Lando, and if you're looking for personal space...
We should probably stop reading now. 😆
I'm a gorgeous 1-year-old Maltese x Shih Tzu x Silky who has come into care through a private surrender through absolutely no fault of my own.
Now I'm looking for a forever family who understands one very important thing...
Life is simply better when we're together.
If you're in the kitchen...
I'll be there.
If you're watching TV...
I'll be there.
If you're working from home...
I'll be supervising.
If you're going to bed...
Excellent... because that's exactly where I was planning on sleeping too. 😴
I don't believe in sleeping near my people.
I believe in sleeping as close as physically possible.
Personal space?
Never heard of it.
One of my greatest talents is greeting my humans.
Whether you've been gone for...
Three seconds...
Or three hours...
You'll receive exactly the same enthusiastic welcome.
Tail wagging.
Happy dancing.
Excited little wiggles.
Honestly, you'd think you'd just returned from a six-month overseas holiday.
My foster family says it's impossible not to smile.
And then there's my smile...
I've got the cutest little underbite that gives me permanent "cheeky little rascal" vibes. It adds so much character to my already adorable face and seems to melt hearts everywhere I go. I like to think it makes me even more irresistible. 🥹
When I'm not busy welcoming everyone home, I absolutely love racing around the backyard with my doggy friends.
Zoomies?
Absolutely.
Sunbaking?
Even better.
There's something about lying in a warm sunny spot that makes life feel pretty perfect.
I'm wonderful with other dogs of all sizes.
When I first meet new doggy friends, I can take a little moment to work out who's who before joining in the fun.
Once I'm comfortable...
I'm all about playing, exploring and snuggling together.
Because I take confidence from other dogs, I'd absolutely love a home with another friendly canine companion who can continue showing me that the world isn't such a scary place.
I also love children.
As with any new home, I may need a little time to settle and build my confidence, but once I know I'm safe, I'm a wonderfully affectionate little companion.
Walks are another funny part of my day.
I love the idea of going for a walk.
Mostly because it means I'm going wherever you're going.
The actual walk?
Well...
I'm still learning that the big wide world isn't quite as overwhelming as it sometimes feels.
With patience, encouragement and plenty of positive experiences, my confidence continues to grow every day.
Around the house I'm generally a lovely quiet little boy...
Unless my self-appointed role as Neighbourhood Security Officer kicks in.
If something unusual happens...
A strange noise.
A visitor.
A suspicious leaf blowing across the yard...
I'll happily let everyone know.
Once I've completed my security check...
It's straight back to cuddling.
One thing I haven't quite mastered yet is fetch.
I'll happily chase the toy.
Catch the toy.
Celebrate catching the toy.
Returning it?
That sounds like your job. 😂
Food, cuddles and praise are definitely the way to my heart.
Tell me I'm a good boy...
Give me a tummy rub...
Maybe slip me a tasty treat...
And we'll be best friends forever.
I'm toilet trained, love spending time with my people, enjoy the company of other dogs and have even been lovely around birds.
Cats haven't been tested yet.
Being a Maltese x Shih Tzu x Silky means I'll need regular grooming to keep my handsome coat looking its very best.
Thankfully, I think looking this good is worth the effort.
More than anything...
I'm simply looking for a family who'll include me in everyday life.
A family who understands that while I can sometimes be a little unsure of new things, underneath it all is a sweet little boy with an enormous heart and so much love to give.
I'll reward your patience with endless cuddles...
Constant companionship...
And the happiest welcome home you'll ever receive.
💙 If you're looking for a funny, affectionate little shadow with the cutest underbite you've ever seen—one who will make you laugh, fill your home with love and never let you go to the bathroom alone again... I might just be your perfect match.
🐾 Professional happy dancer.
☀️ Sunshine enthusiast.
🛏️ Champion bed snuggler.
😁 Proud owner of the cutest little underbite.
❤️ Full-time best friend.

Adoption details
Paw Prints Canine Rescue is a non for profit dog rescue located in Southeast Queensland.
All our dogs leave our care with full vet work (up-to-date vaccinated, microchipped, desexed, heart worm and intestinal wormed and flea treated).
Please note - They will not leave for their new homes until they are 12 weeks of age and have been desexed, micro-chipped and vaccinated up to date.
Please note - we are not a pound or have kennels - all our dogs stay in foster carers homes and therefore dogs are not able to be simply viewed - only approved applicants will meet the dogs.
Please Note: We do not hold any animals so please only apply if you are ready to adopt now
Please note - We don't take calls on adoption enquiries - an application must be completed
We can also be found at https://www.facebook.com/pawprintscanine/
Complete the following adoption enquiry link
https://goo.gl/forms/PqpkCcE89ikDR2Lw1
Once an adoption enquiry is completed our admin team will assess the application and if successful we will arrange for a meet and greet to be completed. We may also request photos of your yard for consideration of your application. Please note that we will do no more than 3 meet and greets per dog.
Approved applicants will be contacted to arrange a time for a meet & greet via email. You must bring your current dog along to the meeting if you are meeting another dog/puppy, this is to ensure they get along before commencing adoption - proof of your dogs up-to-date vaccination is required before any meet and greet is arranged.
Our adoption fee must be cleared in our bank account before any animal is available for pick up. Please note we bank with ANZ - any other bank may take 48 hours to process the monies.
Paw Prints Canine Rescue has a 10 day trial period – this basically means that if for any reason the adoption does not work out and the dog needs to be returned to us, the adoption fee minus an admin fee (minimum is $250) will be returned to the adoptees via bank transfer within 7 working days.
Please note that if an interstate adoption needs to be returned or regional adoption all transport cost with be paid by the adopter.
Please also note while this can be a very exciting time for everyone, it can also be an overwhelming time for dogs and we ask that you do try and allow your new family member to settle in their new home and adjust
INTERSTATE ADOPTIONS **
Any transport costs are to be paid by the adopting family, however we can assist you in helping with transport to airports etc.
** Please note some of our dogs are not available for interstate adoption - each bio will state if available for adoption - please check before applying.
AFTER THE TRIAL PERIOD
After the 10 day trial period is completed Paw Prints Canine will send out all relevant paperwork for your new furbaby via email including the transfer of microchip form.
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
