WE HAVE ONE RETIRING ADULT FEMALE AVAILABLE FOR PLACEMENT - SPAY WILL BE DONE PRIOR TO PLACEMENT AND IS ADDITIONAL   CONTACT ME FOR MORE INFORMATION OR PICTURES DIRECTLY AT MERCERPAPS@GMAIL.COM

​
​

FOR OUR ADULTS - WE ARE LOOKING FOR HOMES WHERE THEY DO "NOT" HAVE TO BE A "PERFECT" DOG.  JUST LIKE PEOPLE EACH DOG IS AN INDIVIDUAL AND HAS ITS OWN PERKS AND QUIRKS.   ALTHOUGH EACH ADULT WE OFFER FOR PLACEMENT HAS BEEN VET CHECKED ETC. PRIOR TO PLACEMENT FOR OVERALL HEALTH AND A TEETH CLEANING DONE THEY COULD HAVE MISSING TEETH AND AS IT IS MORE DIFFICULT GETTING APPOINTMENTS FOR SPAYS AT THE PRESENT TIME THEY WILL NEED TO SPAYED STILL AT THE NEW OWNERS EXPENSE.   I DISCUSS ALL THIS AT TIME OF PLACEMENT.     IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS RE: HOW THEY WILL FIT IN TO THEIR NEW HOME OR ABOUT MISSING TEETH OR ANY OTHER ISSUE THEN MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO GO WITH A YOUNG PUPPY AND START FRESH!!!   

​

FOR OUR RETIRING ADULT BOYS - PLEASE DON'T MAKE THE FIRST QUESTION BE "DO THEY MARK/LIFT LEG" - THESE ARE ADULT MALE DOGS AND SO OF COURSE THEY ARE GOING TO MARK/LIFT LEG.   ONE OF THE GREATEST REMEDIES FOR THAT IS TO UTILIZE THE "BELLY BANDS" TO KEEP YOU FROM FREAKING OUT IF THEY DO - AND TO DO THE NEUTER.   AGAIN - I ALSO DO NOT DO THE NEUTERS PRIOR TO PLACEMENT DUE TO THE LENGTH OF TIME WAITING FOR IT TO BE DONE AND THE RECOVERY PERIOD AFTER.   I WOULD MUCH PREFER THEY ARE OFF TO THEIR NEW HOMES GETTING SETTLED IN - THAT ALL CAN BE DONE AT A LATER DATE!

​

WE ARE LOOKING FOR A HOME WHERE THERE IS ALREADY ANOTHER SMALL DOG (ALTHOUGH NOT A TOTAL PLACEMENT BREAKER IF THERE IS NOT) - OR - WHERE SOMEONE IS LOOKING TO REPLACE ONE.   AND BEING FAMILIAR WITH THE MALTESE - OR SMALLER DOGS IN PARTICULAR IS ALSO VERY HELPFUL ALSO LOOKING FOR HOMES WHERE THEY WILL NOT BE OVERVACCINATED!  IF YOUR FIRST CONCERN IS VACCINE RELATED - THEN OUR DOGS/PUPPIES ARE NOT FOR YOU!  PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH RE: OVERVACCINATION OF OUR ANIMALS!   THE INFORMATION IS ABUNDANTLY OUT THERE!

​

WE ALSO PREFER A HOME WHERE THE DOGS WILL GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET "OUTSIDE" - DOGS NEED THE SUN AND FRESH AIR AND THE GRASS TIME ETC TO HELP MAINTAIN A HEALTHY OVERALL IMMUNE SYSTEM!
