Meet Ben!
Born on October 10th into the heart of our home, this snowy-white Maltese male is a darling little guy.
He is the perfect blend of his parents: his mother, Button, is a sweet, quiet 5-pound AKC Champion-bloodline beauty, and his father, Jasper, is our resident CKC-registered love bug. This little one is being raised in our home surrounded by his littermates (Tucker and Star), mommy, daddy and lots of affection.
He will be ready for his forever home on December 10th, 2026. He will come to you vet-checked, dewormed, and current on all shots.
If you are looking for a socialized, confident, and deeply loved companion who has been raised as a member of the family, Ben will be ready to go home with you soon! Contact me to learn more about this beautiful boy. My name is Fagan and my phone number is . I am always happy to chat about our little Maltese family and FaceTime with Ben!
