Possum~Maltese x girl (on trial 20/09/16)

Possum is looking for her new home. She is an 8yr old maltese x girl, with a bubbly personality. She came into care very matted, so has very short hair at the moment, but when it grows, she is going to be a stunning little lady. Her foster mum thinks she is even going to have long black eyelashes! Possum has had all her vet work done and as she recovers, is beginning to show her personality.

First and foremost, she is a champion snuggler, preferring to be next to you on the couch than anywhere else in the world. She also prefers women to men, and bonds very quickly. Her foster mum says she is a fantastic helper dog, as she likes to be involved with whatever is happening. Possum is currently living with 4 other little dogs, and has no issues with them, however, she is much more people orientated.

She loves squeaky toys and will play fetch for as long as you care to, returning the object right at your feet quicker than Speedy Gonzales!
We are looking for a place where someone is home the majority of the time, where she will be an inside dog, and where there are no young children (as Possum is very small and fragile).

Possum can get upset when being left alone, however is responding very well to crate training. When her foster mum has to go out, she pops the possum into her crate with a treat, and she settles very quickly. Possum has also been sleeping in her crate overnight, however would prefer to sleep near her person. She is fully house trained and has not had one accident inside the house.

Once her hair grows back she is going to look beautiful, and to keep her in that condition, she will need regular grooming (eg. brushing regularly at home) and also a professional groom every few months.
