About Angel Eyes (Maltese) in Oakley, CA 94561

Angel Eyes is waiting for you at K9 Paw Print Rescue in Oakley, CA 94561. 🤍 Meet Angel Eyes 🤍Angel Eyes is a 1-2-year-old Maltese/Poodle mix weighing about 16 pounds, and he truly lives up to his name. This fluffy little guy is full of love, happy energy, and has the sweetest personality.He absolutely loves other dogs, does great with cats, and adores people. He enjoys playing with his dog friends, but he's also a pretty mellow guy who loves to cuddle and be with his people. He may bark if he hears something outside, but otherwise he's an easygoing companion.He's doing well with kennel training and is making great progress with potty training.Like many rescue dogs, Angel Eyes can become scared in unfamiliar situations, especially at the veterinarian or in new environments. When he's feels overwhelmed, he may react by being a little nippy, so we're looking for a home that understands positive reinforcement and is willing to help build his confidence through patience and desensitization. Older, gentle children (10+) who understand how to respect a dog's space would be the best fit.Angel Eyes has been through a lot. When he came to us, he was painfully matted with foxtails embedded throughout his coat, deep inside his ears, and even in his groin. The mats and foxtails had caused painful infections, making grooming and veterinary care understandably frightening for him. His reactions weren't because he was a "bad" dog—he was scared and in pain. Now that he's feeling better, his sweet, loving personality shines through more every day.One important thing to know about this breed: Maltese and Poodle mixes require professional grooming every 4-6 weeks. Without regular grooming, their coats can become painfully matted, trap debris like foxtails, and lead to skin infections and significant discomfort. Routine grooming is an essential part of keeping Angel Eyes healthy and happy.Overall, Angel Eyes is an incredibly affectionate, playful little dog who loves people, dogs, and
