The American Maltese Association is the National AKC recognized parent breed club for Maltese. The AMA began a National Rescue Program for Maltese in 1995. Volunteers that support our breed rescue program consist of both members and non-members who share a love for the breed and a commitment to ensure unwanted, homeless Maltese are placed in warm, loving homes. In addition to adoption and foster services, we can provide assistance and recommendations to Maltese owners. In many cases we can assist with behavioral problems that might have otherwise turned into a future homeless situation.
Adopting a friend
The AMA National Rescue Program provides adoption services for Maltese being surrendered by their owners, either privately or through shelters. We also provide temporary foster homes, when necessary, to care for abused, sickly, and homeless Maltese until such time when they can be placed in permanent homes. Maltese that require temporary foster care are kept and loved in pre-approved private homes with knowledgeable, caring individuals.
