This sweet little man came to us as an owner surrender along with his sister, Daisy. Full Maltese with papers. Underweight, full of fleas and so matted that he could only be shaved completely. His skin was red and raw from both the fleas and the inch thick mats pulling, but a few days of loving care has him nearly healed! And his beautiful fur is already beginning to grow in. A home where he will receive regular grooming is a must.
Gizmo is a complete love-bug! Very timid when he first meets you, but quick to beg for affection. Once he is in your lap it's time to kiss and snuggle! He and his sister are completely bonded and need to be adopted together. He doesn't let her out of his sight! Gizmo is a very smart and fun-loving boy who just wants a loving home where he and Daisy will be cared for.

It is against the law in the State of Texas for a rescue not to be sterilized so we have to make sure it gets completed and that we have record of it.
