Our vision is to be an active partner of a no-kill community where there are no homeless pets. Every foster and permanent home is carefully screened.
Metropolitan Maltese Rescue is a non-profit corporation (501(c) (3)) dedicated to placing homeless Maltese and Maltese-mixes in loving, responsible, permanent homes. Metropolitan Maltese Rescue (MetroMalts) is an all-volunteer organization founded in 1998 by a group of Maltese dog lovers in New York City. MetroMalts volunteers foster and place Maltese found as strays, surrendered by their owners,
or rescued from shelters. We use every means at our disposal to keep Maltese out of shelters and in good forever-after homes. Information provided by potential adopters is used to make sure that our Maltese are placed with care-givers who are best suited to their individual personalities. We remain available after adoption to help resolve any concerns or problems that might arise. We gladly accept donations of time, professional advice and care (such as veterinarians and trainers), and financial assistance. We welcome people who just love the breed and want to help. After all, that's how MetroMalts began. MetroMalts is a proud member of the Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals, Inc., a distinguished group of local shelter and rescue organizations dedicated to making ours a "no kill" city.
Some Maltese are cuddly couch potatoes. Others, like Metropolitan Maltese Rescue graduate Coco, are sports stars! Make sure you watch Coco's video with the volume on. Pom-poms optional.
The video is compliments of Coco's favorite teammate, , and his Instagram account!
Now have yourself a sporty weekend! TGIF

Metropolitan Maltese Rescue ♥️s to hear from our graduates. Here is our annual update from Leo Blue, who we (and his doggie mom) raised in foster care, along with his siblings, from the time he was mere days old:
Good morning! We celebrated LeoBlue’s 9th birthday a week ago Sunday! He is just the best, most handsome boy!!
This past year, sadly, we lost his big sister Allie at the age of 12 to lymphoma. We were all devastated and heartbroken. Leo was so despondent that he wouldn’t go for the walks that we’d go on together with Allie. Allie and he were so bonded.
A month later, entered a puppy (Annie) into our lives. Leo started perking up and became his joyful self again. He’s been an incredibly good big brother, teaching Annie how to be good dog just as Allie taught Leo to be. I’m so proud of Leo for being so loving and playful with Annie.
Truly grateful. ❤️
And we are truly grateful for WEEKENDS! TGIF.
If this almost-summer weather has you out bike riding, you probably work up a thirst for a cold drink. Let Metropolitan Maltese Rescue help you out - fill up this Yeti bottle, which keeps drinks cold, with your preferred summer beverage, use a caribiner to hook it to your handlebars or bike basket, and you’re all set for a day of adventures and fun! And all proceeds support our dogs in foster care!
YETI Rambler®. 18 oz Water Bottle. Fits in most cup holders. 100% leakproof.
You may remember that Metropolitan Maltese Rescue was surprised to intake two Chihuahua brothers, Chunk and P*e Wee, who we'd only known as "two small breed puppies who are going to be thrown out on the street by the family that didn't want them". Well, after their short lifetime of neglect in their surrendering home, our foster families worked hard to have both puppies learn how to be treasured pets, and then both got neutered on the same day, and both got adopted to separate loving homes on the same day, too!
We may be a Maltese-focussed rescue group, but we learned we can help other breeds and find the audience of adopters for other breeds, too!
We go into this weekend with a great sense of accomplishment and happiness. You should, too! TGIF
This Metropolitan Maltese Rescue graduate is giving us cuteness for a Friday! What more could you ask for? TGIF
We at Metropolitan Maltese Rescue ♥️ to hear from our graduates, but this one is a sad update, and hit hard:
Little Lennon was a sweet boy who’s time with us was way too short. He was diagnosed with Cutaneous Lymphoma, and after a few months, the disease advanced despite weekly Vet visits. He was playful, wild, sweet, and very smart. When he came to us, he had been loved and cared for by his foster mother and family for 6 months. It was a privilege to spend these next 6 month with him, but our hearts are broken. Our house feels so empty and I miss his constant companionship. Where is that boy who would come bounding into my room with one of his favorite toys in his mouth - ready to play? It was so sad to say goodbye to him, but we know that he felt our love and did not have to suffer. Rest in peace little Lennon XOXO You are forever in our hearts.
Not to diminish the meaning of this upcoming holiday weekend, we'd like keep this sweet image of Lennon memorialized in our hearts. TGIF.
Even though April showers bring May flowers, it seems that in Metropolitan Maltese Rescue's New York City area, the spring rains are continuing into May. If you are tired of toweling down your small dog after he or she is outside, we do have ONE cute raincoat left. At 8.5 inches from neck to hem, it is perfect for a tiny dog. And with your purchase, we'll throw in a tiny brown coat, too, that is more of a waist-length coat, because some days you need to walk a frog and other days you need to walk a tiny teddy bear.
See them here: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?item=305368873659&rt=nc&_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l161211&_ssn=metropolitanmalteserescue
Meelu, the sweetest and easiest of Maltese, came to Metropolitan Maltese Rescue from the Manhattan Animal Care Center, who had cared for him after he was found abandoned in a pet carrier. After a stressful start to his new life that included neuter surgery, a dental with extractions, and a case of bronchitis, the 6-year-old boy bounced right back! And now he's been adopted!
Meelu's foster mom received an update within just a few hours of his adoption, saying that MeeLu was following the grandkids around everywhere. What fun he is having already! He now has his very own family and a new mom he acquired right
on Mother's Day weekend. Perfection. Way to go to all involved!
Here is Meelu hanging on the balcony of his foster home, just before leaving for his new home and life.
Make sure you get some lovely outdoor time this weekend, too. TGIF.
SOLD OUT! We do have other options, though.
Yikes! Only one of the Metropolitan Maltese Rescue coffee mugs left! If you're interested, don't delay - people are allowed to have treats, too - it is not just dogs who get all the treats.
Limited-edition RESCUE RED COLOR. Dishwasher safe.
Trinity is the sweetest of senior babies (estimated to be 12 years old), who came to Metropolitan Maltese Rescue from Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC) blind, underweight and with advanced dental disease. After a series of medical tests, Trinity was also diagnosed with Cushing's Disease, so that added one more issue to treat in his tiny body.
Our little guy started medication to treat his Cushing's and after quite some time trying out different dosages, his correct medication dosage was determined, so he could finally move on to have his much-needed dental procedure and an ear growth removal surgery. Which led to him to being ready to be, and was, ADOPTED!
Trinity and his new mom are so bonded, and Trinity just adores his mom! ♥️ He greets her with glee every time she comes home and he loves to cuddle next to her. Perfection.
Also perfection, as always, is the weekend. TGIF.
Chunk update!! ❤️

We at Metropolitan Maltese Rescue ♥️ to hear from our graduates! We recently heard from Little Lad, who now goes by the name Nugget:
"Hello from the Nugget! We just walked a mile and a half in Riverside Park and enjoyed it a lot. Note the couple of fallen pink blossoms at his feet. Nugget is affectionate, cuddly, funny, and very smart. Nugget adores my husband and gets very upset when he leaves the room. He’s just the kind of dog he was looking for! I should say, he’s the kind of dog WE were looking for!" I hope you are all well and enjoying the spring flowers!
Yay Nugget! And yay weekends! TGIF.
Welcome Chunk and P*e Wee!
See below on HOW YOU CAN HELP P*e Wee and Chunk find their happy ending!
Metropolitan Maltese Rescue was contacted about 2 tiny puppies who were being locked in a room 24 hours a day and NOT being properly taken care of. The owners, who didn't want them, were giving them days before they were going to let them loose out into the streets of NYC to fend for themselves.
We agreed to take them in, not knowing too many details, only that two tiny young pups needed a safe place to land...and SURPRISE it turned out that they are 2 adorable Chihuahuas!
These two sweet boys never knew what kindness, kisses, and sunshine on their faces meant, BUT Chunk and P*e Wee are now learning what being a LOVED dog means and their tails have not stopped wagging!
They are very shy, submissive boys who have quickly bonded with their foster families and are working very hard on their housebreaking and socialization skills. They are making progress every day!
Chunk loves to eat, cuddle on the couch with this foster family, and has the cutest ears and soulful eyes. He would do best in a home as an only dog since he is an attention hog.
P*e Wee loves to eat, joyfully run around the yard and home, and give kisses to his foster Mom and foster siblings. P*e Wee would do best in a home with another playful dog and is fine with cats too!
HOW CAN YOU HELP P*e Wee and Chunk find their happy ending?

In the latest installment of "We at Metropolitan Maltese Rescue ♥️updates from our graduates", we just heard from BUDDY!
Last October, 13 year old Buddy was surrendered to Metropolitan Maltese Rescue by his family when the toddler in the home turned out to be a bad match with him. In his so-loving adoptive home, Buddy has no toddlers to watch out for, except for those he sees out the window from his favorite cozy perch. A great place to watch the world go by when he isn't out on walks being part of the scenery. And with his gorgeous big eyes, Buddy can take in a LOT of view, not to mention taking in our hearts.
The weekend is here, which also takes in our hearts! TGIF!
Ouchies! Metropolitan Maltese Rescue foster dog Melu had a trifecta surgery of neuter, dew claw removal, and dental all in one fell swoop. In addition to the expected bodily removals of the first two procedures, this poor guy had 25 teeth extracted!! Despite it all, after a day of feeling miserable, Melu is feeling way better now, and follows his foster mom everywhere. Here he is relaxing under her desk on a work day.
He is also drinking and eating now, which he did not do when he had a mouth full of rotted teeth. All in all, life is on the upswing, thanks to Metropolitan Maltese Rescue, a loving foster family, and those who give generous donations so we can continue on providing the veterinary care our fosters dogs require to be made adoptable.
On even more happy news...it is Friday! TGIF.

Welcome to Metropolitan Maltese Rescue’s newest dog in foster care, Melu ( pronounced Mee Lou)!
Melu came to us from the Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC) who had jumped in to care for him after he was found abandoned in a carrier. Melu was filthy and horribly matted, and the shelter kindly shaved him down, for which he is greatly relieved. We shall see to his medical needs, including dental care for his formerly-uncared-for teeth, and soon he will be ready for adoption.
This sweet boy has been hopping from cozy spot to cozy spot ever since landing in his foster home. He KNOWS his life has improved.
This week has improved, too - as here we are approaching the weekend. TGIF.
Frog season is coming soon!

We at Metropolitan Maltese Rescue L♥️ve to hear from our former foster dogs. Here is a memory from Coco's mom as she thinks about him, though he's been gone for years. (They're always in our hearts.)
"A little bit about his rescue:
I picked him up at the shelter and he needed grooming and vet work.
He spent his first week in a hyperbaric chamber and then had ACL surgery which took 14 weeks to heal.
After 16 fosters, I knew he was destined to be with me for the rest of his life. He rescued me. I did not rescue him. He was my everything. He was obsessed with visiting my mom and living in Florida and sometimes asked to go. I miss him every single day. No dog will ever replace him ♥️."
We love that Coco had the perfect home and was cherished for the rest of his life...and beyond.
Also cherished, of course, are weekends. TGIF!

Metropolitan Maltese Rescue foster dog Kyla has gotten some adoption interest, but no one yet who can offer the description of home she is best suited her, as per the bio in her Adoptable Dog posting. Kyla is young and VERY active, and has legs made of springs, maybe? We have not yet clinically confirmed this last bit. Please see Kyla's video amongst her foster siblings: she does get some high air!

Metropolitan Maltese Rescue foster dog Bruce, who is a mix of unknown heritage, has been hearing his foster family talking about their added weight caused by Thanksgiving feasting and the need to exercise it off. Bruce, ever-helpful and ever a team player, pitches in to do his part. Very inspirational, Bruce! And if you perhaps are in the market for such a team mate, live in a non-urban area and are home more often than not, perhaps our senior Bruce is the guy for you? He will be ready for adoption soon, and applications are welcome now! Also welcome now is the weekend, though many have started that a day ago.
