Pete is a striking, 15-lb young gentleman who looks like a portrait of an exotic, scruffy hound. He possesses one of the most remarkable coats you will ever feelit is incredibly thick and dense, feeling exactly like a plush, luxury faux-fur pillow. Even better? This miraculous coat is completely single-layered, meaning it naturally repels dirt, resists tangling, and stays looking effortlessly dapper without a demanding grooming routine.<br/><br/>A Social Butterfly with a Heart of Gold<br/><br/>Pete is an absolute charm-school graduate when it comes to his social life. He is a genuine lover of people and greets strangers with a wagging tail and an open heart. If you have a social household or love taking your dog out on neighborhood adventures, Pete is ready to be your ultimate ambassador of joy.<br/>He is also incredibly polite with his four-legged peers:<br/><br/>With Other Dogs: Pete gets along wonderfully with other dogs, making him a fantastic playmate or a seamless addition to a multi-dog home.<br/><br/>With Family Cats: Pete has a remarkably intelligent and respectful mind. He understands house boundaries beautifully and has proven to be very friendly and peaceful with indoor family cats.<br/><br/>His Perfect Match<br/>At around two years old, Pete has a wonderful balance of youthful, athletic energy and a deeply affectionate, companion-oriented soul. He is a clever, observant boy who loves to match the rhythm of his humans. Pete would thrive spectacularly in an active suburban or city home with a securely fenced yard where he can zoom and play safely. Whether you are looking for an enthusiastic partner for daily walks and weekend hikes, or a world-class snuggler to curl up with at the end of the day, Pete is ready to fill your life with love, loyalty, and a whole lot of scruffy charm<br/><br/>Adoption Information<br/><br/>Please note: Because of their size, our dogs are not suitable for homes with children under 5.<br/><br/>If you live in the immediate Austin area and are interested in adopting from Lil' Paws Maltese Rescue and Other Petite Paws, please visit http://www.lilpaws.org to fill out an application.
