This is Ariel. She is the most loving pure bred Maltese you will meet. She covers your face with kisses and is so excited when you walk into the room. She plays and lives to cuddle. She loves kids and other dogs. She freely roams my house and has never been caged or locked up......she is spoiled. She will make an amazing family pet. She is pad trained, up to date with puppy boosters, Vet checked, etc... On April 30, she weighed 3.5 pounds and is expected to be 5.3 pounds fully grown. Both of her parents are AKC and in my home, but I did not send off for Ariel's papers. Ariel will be sold as a pet only without papers. Ariel has a small umbilical hernia which will need to be corrected when spayed. This is something which occurs when a new mother pulled a bit on the umbilical cord during birth. The estimated cost of getting this corrected while being spayed can run $5 to $100 depending on your vet. Discussing with your vet is strongly encouraged before meeting Ariel. Ariel will need to be picked up in Rome, Georgia (shipping will not occur on this little one). Feel free to ask questions. Thanks for looking!
