Russel is a Maltese puppy from Snowball and Rhoda’s litter. His parents weigh 7 and 8 lbs, so he is expected to stay small, though adult size can vary. He can also be ACA registered.

For many families, the right puppy is not just cute in pictures. It is a puppy who can grow into the little routines of home: following the children outside, settling nearby during quiet moments, and becoming part of the family’s everyday rhythm. Maltese are loved for their affectionate breed background, playful nature, alertness, and close connection with their people, all in a small companion size that works well for many homes.

Russel is played with extensively in the yard with children, including a 2-year-old, giving him regular handling, attention, and experience around real family activity. For a family looking for a small Maltese puppy to love, teach, and welcome into daily life, Russel could be a wonderful fit.
