A 6 pound Malteze I named Petey. If I picked him up he would piss, shit and sometimes bite out of sheer terror. I believe his prevous home had children who were allowed to torture him.

It was months before I could touch him and he still exhibits extreme shyness around others but he is completely devoted to me.

He was hours from being euthanized and now he is my best little buddy. Loves to snuggle.

Adoprting a dog such as this takes patience. Don't rush it. Give the dog time to learn to trust.

Good luck Moot.
