The Adoption Process
Thank you for considering a rescued Maltese for your next dog. As AMA Rescue Representatives, we are often overwhelmed by the many Maltese needing to be re-homed. Our organization is dedicated to making sure that each Maltese’s placement will be a "forever home.” For this reason, we screen all applicants carefully and ask for your understanding. We must ensure that a Maltese placed with you is the right decision for both of you.
Rescue Maltese come to us with a variety of needs and behaviors. They come in all ages, although sadly many are older than most people want when they are looking for a new dog. It is very rare to have rescue Maltese puppies or house trained dogs. Most rescued Maltese have had hard lives, and they may therefore have special needs. If you can open your heart and home to one of these dogs, you will find yourself rewarded generously.
While AMA Rescue entertains Adoption Applications from outside the local area where the dog is being fostered, AMA Rescue will not ship a rescue dog. Out of area adoptions are costly for the adoptive family for we feel it is important for all members of a family meet the rescue dog, 2 and 4 legged, before finalizing the arrangements. We also feel it is important to be able to provide local support to a new adoptive family. Thus, it can be more difficult to adopt Maltese out of the area where the dog is being fostered. Adoption Fee Statement
Adoption fees are charged to cover the costs of rescuing. The single major cost of rescuing Maltese is veterinary expenses (spaying/neutering, vaccines and rabies, heartworm testing, and microchip insertion). Maltese with injuries and those needing medical care for health problems are provided care. Currently AMA Rescue Adoption fees do not fully cover the average cost of rescuing and fostering each dog. Generous donors make up the difference between AMA Rescue’s costs and the adoption fee.
