Two Senior Miniature Maltese

Adopt Tinkerbell & Patrysie – Senior Miniature Maltese Dogs Looking for a New Home

Some dogs slip quietly into your heart with no drama, no fuss—just quiet loyalty, affection, and a gentle presence. Tinkerbell and Patrysie are exactly that kind of pair. These two 12-year-old miniature Maltese dogs are in need of a new home before their owner moves into a retirement facility where pets are not allowed. They’ve lived a quiet, home-based life and are now looking for someone who can offer them the same calm and loving environment.


Tinkerbell (Female, 12 Years Old)

Female Miniature Maltese

Tinkerbell is a small, lovable miniature Maltese with a gentle, affectionate nature. She absolutely adores attention, often standing up on her back paws to “talk” to you, especially when she’s happy. She’s the more confident of the two, always ready to give kisses and be close to her people. Tinkerbell is used to a home environment and does well around other dogs.

She’s previously lived with a cat and is comfortable around older children who know how to interact gently. She settles easily at home, even when left alone during the day. She’s not a big barker, but will let you know if something unfamiliar is happening.


Patrysie (Male, 12 Years Old)

Patrysie has always had a more cautious personality, but once he feels safe, he enjoys affection and being close. He prefers a quiet home where he can feel secure and loves to be cuddled. One of his sweetest habits is letting you know—very politely—when his food bowl is empty.

Like Tinkerbell, he has lived with both other dogs and a cat, and he does well with older, gentle children. He is comfortable spending time alone at home during the day. Patrysie is also a quiet dog who only barks at new or unusual things.

What They’re Looking For

Tinkerbell and Patrysie have never walked on leash, a secure garden or home environment where walking isn’t a daily expectation would suit them best. They would thrive with someone who understands the rhythm of senior dogs—quiet companionship, affection, and consistency.

Quiet Companions With Big Hearts

These two small dogs bring peace and warmth to a home. They are low-maintenance, affectionate, and bring the kind of companionship that only older dogs can offer. If you have space in your life for calm, loving company, now is the time to adopt.
