About Travis

Maltese mix
Age: Adult
Sex: Male

Calling all empty laps!! Travis is a 9 year old, 13lb, Maltese mix who is healthy and a real sweetheart! Travis came to us from the NYC shelter where he was surrendered in a deplorable condition. Travis was matted, flea bitten and frightened in the shelter surroundings. Despite all this, Travis had not lost faith in humans and was very happy to leave the shelter for a brighter future through rescue. Travis is currently in a foster home with 2 other small dogs and gets along fine with both and is respectful of their space. Travis attaches quickly to his human and will make a very loving and faithful companion. Travis is fairly quiet, but does bark when his foster mom leaves the house. This only lasts for a short period and he quickly settles down after a few minutes. Travis is good on leash and loves to go for walks. He is also good in the car, but prefers to be in the front dog seat where he can be next to his favorite person. Travis sleeps on the bed at night and is good all night. Travis went to the groomer soon after arriving in rescue and the groomer said he was good boy for his grooming. Travis went from being a light brown, which we later realized was staining, to now he is bright white! He still a few spots of discoloration from being matting which will grow out. He is so happy to be clean and flea free! Travis would love to find a home where he will be showered with love and attention. He will follow his foster mom around the house, but will also relax in a dog bed while she works. Due to his small size, he would do best in a home without small children. Travis marked in the house when he first arrived which is fairly typical when a dog comes into a new home, but after several days he got the hang of the routine and now is no longer marking inside. Travis is currently being fostered in Poughkeepsie, NY. We are willing to take applications from NY, NJ, CT, Easter PA or anywhere that is 3 hours or less drive from either Northern New Jersey or Poughkeepsie NY, as long as you are willing to drive to come get him.
