This silver-and-tan charmer is attentive, affectionate, and devoted to his people. Wherever you are, Prince wants to be right by your side.<br/><br/>Prince's early life wasn't ideal. After being purchased as a puppy, he spent much of his time confined to a crate and received very little attention, socialization, or guidance. He missed out on many of the experiences young dogs need to build confidence and learn about the world. When he entered rescue, he was untrained and didn't even know how to play.<br/><br/>Thanks to the love, patience, and encouragement of his foster family and canine foster siblings, Prince has blossomed into a happy, playful little dog. He now enjoys playing with his dog friends, has made excellent progress with house training, and continues to gain confidence every day.<br/>Because Prince spent so much of his early life without the love and attention he deserved, he has formed a very strong bond with his caregiver and thrives on companionship and reassurance.<br/><br/>His future adopter should understand that Prince will need both time and patience as he continues to heal and grow. Dogs who spend their formative months deprived of attention don't automatically learn that they are safe, valued, and loved. Building that trust takes consistency, understanding, and a willingness to meet them where they are emotionally. Prince will likely seek a lot of attention from his person, especially as he adjusts to a new home, and he deserves a family with the time and commitment to provide the reassurance he craves. The reward is watching his confidence grow and his loving personality shine more each day.<br/><br/>When playtime is over, Prince is happiest curled up in a lap or snuggled beside his favorite person. He loves being as close as possible to his humans and gazing up at them with complete adoration. <br/><br/>His foster family describes him as an absolute doll with an exceptionally gentle and loving nature. In fact, Prince seems completely unaware that aggression even exists.<br/>Prince is searching for a patient, loving home that will continue building his confidence while cherishing the wonderful companion he has become. In return, he'll reward his family with unwavering devotion, endless cuddles, and a bond that is truly special. For the family willing to give him the love, security, and attention he missed out on as a puppy, Prince will be an incredibly loyal and devoted companion.<br/><br/>Prince isn't just looking for a home. He's looking for someone to love, trust, and spend the rest of his life with<br/><br/>How to Adopt<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. Unfortunately, a Petfinder Inquiry does not fulfill our application requirements. <br/><br/>We do not have a physical facility — all of our dogs live in loving foster homes.<br/>Lil’ Paws is a small, all-volunteer organization. To best use our limited time and resources, we are only able to correspond with individuals who have submitted an adoption application from our website.<br/><br/>We encourage you to visit with our dogs and their fosters, by planning to attend our Meet and Greet Events which are held on the first Saturday of each month at the Pet Supplies Plus in Round Rock from noon to 2 p.m. We suggest you check our website for exact dates. <br/>Pet Supplies Plus<br/>17420 Ranch to Market Rd 620 #150<br/>Round Rock, TX 78681<br/><br/>OTHER TIMES AND LOCATIONS MAY BE LISTED ON OUR WEBSITE: lilpaws.org<br/><br/>We are only able to adopt our dogs to those living within the immediate Austin area. Our local only adoption requirement is due to the thoroughness of our process, which includes home visits and a trial adoption period to ensure the dog has adjusted well. With our team of volunteers, it is not possible to conduct these steps outside our area. Even if you are willing to travel, we must keep our efforts local to maintain the integrity of our process.<br/><br/>Our mission is to place our dogs in safe, stable, and loving homes within the Austin area. Thank you for understanding and for supporting rescue!<br/>________________________________________<br/>Supporting Lil’ Paws<br/><br/>Lil’ Paws Maltese Rescue and Other Petite Paws relies on donations to provide the medical care our dogs need before adoption.
