Buffy is a spayed female Maltese mix approximately 1 year old. She is fully vaccinated, microchipped, and weighs about 6 pounds. Buffy arrived at the shelter skinny and dirty with a matted, filthy coat that someone had apparently tried to cut with scissors. She had cut marks from the scissors all over her body and she was understandably terrified of people. We took Buffy to a professional groomer who slowly and patiently repaired most of the damage,cleaned her up, and revealed a beautiful, dainty little girl dog. Buffy has adorable fluffly little ears that look like pigtails. Her eyelashes are very long and white, framing large deep brown eyes. When her body hair grows back out, it should match her ears in length and silkiness. Buffy is doing much better now and we have discovered that she loves to be held and comforted. She is still skittish and doesn't like sudden movements, but if you get down on her level and call her name she comes right over and nestles in your arms. Buffy wants to be pampered and loved in a normal environment where her true personality can shine. She has a sweet, sensitive little heart that will be easily repaired with some love and kindness. She is comfortable around other small dogs and cats.
