2 male and 2 female Maltese x Jack Russell Terrier puppies, 8 weeks old. They are all very cuddly, healthy, and playful puppies. They have a great time playing with all sorts of dog toys and are amusing to watch. They will make wonderful companions and really brighten your day. They love people and other dogs. They've been living with other dogs of all sizes from tiny to giant and get along great with them all.

The two girls are Gia and Sage. The two boys are Aries and Sampson. Both of the boys and Gia have a slightly wirey coat like a wire haired Jack Russell but softer and longer like a Maltese. It's an excellent combination as they are low shedding but won't need frequent clipping, like a purebred Maltese. They will probably just need clipping about 3 or 4 times a years. Sage has short, smooth hair like a smooth coated Jack Russell.

They will grow up to be small sized dogs. They were born on 6/11/2013. They will ready to go to their forever homes after the 19th of January. You can meet them now and put a deposit on your chosen puppy.

Currently the puppies are allowed inside and outside during the day then stay inside after dark. These puppies will need to sleep inside. They are primarily inside dogs and need to be part of the family and be welcome to join in on family activities including simple things like lounging around watching TV. Because they are so small they are not suitable for children under 5 years old because they might accidently hurt them. They are also not good for the elderly as they might get under their feet.

We always recommend puppy-training classes to give your new family member the best start in life. All dogs and puppies need plenty of affection, exercise, and training. They are a bit young to be left home alone all day so we prefer they go to homes where there is either another dog to keep the puppy company or where there is someone who doesn't work full time.

If you think you could love one of these puppies for their rest of his or her life, please ring foster carer Robyn 02-4972-0804 or 0407-074-143 (sorry, no email). The puppies are in foster care near Swansea NSW (Lake Macquarie).

Each puppy's adoption fee is $500. This pays for their DESEXING, vaccinations, flea and worm treatments, and microchipping. You can see all our available dogs at www.dogrescuenewcastle.com.au
