Health History

Her examinations and deworming are current through ten weeks, and her feeding plan should provide small meals throughout the day—often 4–6 at this age, as her vet advises. Her vaccinations due so far are complete, following first shots around 6–8 weeks, with combination boosters continuing every 2–4 weeks through at least sixteen weeks, a two-dose leptospirosis series beginning around twelve weeks, and veterinary guidance on rabies vaccination and parasite prevention. Her breeder should supply parental heart and kneecap screening records, alongside her own recommended serum bile-acid testing information to assess liver health. She’ll typically mature to under 7 pounds and approximately 7–9 inches at the shoulder, with a usual lifespan of 12–15 years.

Their Story

Her sister left with a family in a little carrier, and she followed as far as the doorway before her breeder picked her up. The ten-week-old puppy later returned to their shared bed, curling against its raised edge. Her breeder moved it closer to the kitchen for company, but she still lifted her head at every arriving footstep. A shelter’s foster coordinator is helping the breeder search for a suitable home while she stays in familiar care. Each new inquiry brings a little hope that the next family through the door will be coming especially for her. Put down a very small deposit to secure her future.

Pup Personality

She studies a new toy, pats it with one paw, then drops into a sudden play bow. At ten weeks, she’s curious and gently mischievous, practicing a “drop” cue through small toy-for-treat swaps. When she finishes playing, she likes stretching flat on her tummy with her back legs behind her, keeping an eye on nearby activity.

PupPath Mission

I was also once looking for a dog

I wasn't just looking for an Otterhound puppy. I wanted to save one. I dreamed of giving him a warm home, a loving family, and the second chance he deserved. But I had no idea where to start. I spent countless hours searching hundreds of listings, calling shelters, and contacting breeders. Nothing. Not a single Otterhound pup.

Frustrated, I gave up searching for a while. Weeks later, I came across a post about an Otterhound puppy desperately needing a home. This was him. The puppy I'd been searching for. I rushed to the shelter, only to hear words I'll never forget. "I'm sorry. He's already been euthanized." My heart sank.

He could have had a home, a family, and a lifetime of love. If only I'd found him sooner. That's when I realized countless other dogs were facing the same heartbreaking possibility. I couldn't save him. But maybe I could help save others. That's why I created PupPath.

Maltese Puppy Stories

Once a man collapsed on a secluded trail, his Maltese pup ran toward the distant voices of other walkers. It barked, circled, and repeatedly looked back until they followed it to its owner, who was lying hidden beside the path, unable to call for help. Rescuers reached him in time, and when he finally woke up in the hospital, his first question was whether his dog was safe. At their reunion, the Maltese pup rested its head in his hands, and through tears the man whispered, “You went looking for help when I couldn’t even ask.” The Maltese pup is ready to protect you but it needs your protection first.

Protect My Future Pup

Within days of coming home, a Maltese puppy had become his owner’s constant companion and the children’s inseparable playmate. Whenever an argument grew loud, he would appear with his favorite toy, nudging a hand until someone paused to look at him. Those gentle interruptions became the family’s reminder to soften their voices, sit together, and listen instead of speaking over each other. One evening, watching his children cuddle beside their new Maltese friend, their father whispered, “You’ve only just arrived, and you’re already helping us take better care of each other.” The Maltese Puppy is ready to take care of you, but it needs you to take care of it first.

Take Care Of My Pup

After an accident left his owner struggling to walk, a Maltese puppy began matching every slow step, pausing whenever the man needed to rest. Throughout the long recovery, it waited beside his owner’s chair and followed him from room to room, settling wherever they could remain close. When the children called the pup outside, it enjoyed their games, then hurried back to check on the person resting indoors. On the day they finally reached their old walking spot again, his owner sat down and held the Maltese pup, overwhelmed by the friend who had made every difficult step feel less lonely. A Maltese pup is waiting for you.
