Meet 5 adoptable senior Maltese dogs (age 7+) in Texas. Each one is from a shelter or rescue and ready for a calm, loving home.

Adopting a senior Maltese in Texas — FAQ
What counts as a senior dog?
Most shelters and vets consider a dog "senior" around age 7, though large breeds often age sooner and small breeds a little later. Every dog listed here is 7 years or older.
How do I adopt a senior Maltese in Texas?
Open any dog's profile to see the shelter or rescue caring for them in Texas, then use the adoption link or contact details to apply directly with that organization. Lily's Second Chance simply gathers senior Malteses in one place so they're easier to find.
Are there always senior Maltese dogs available in Texas?
Availability changes often as dogs are adopted and new ones are listed. If you don't see a senior Maltese in Texas right now, check back soon or browse nearby states — new dogs are added regularly.
Can I adopt a senior Maltese from Texas if I live elsewhere?
Often, yes. Many rescues and shelters in Texas arrange or help coordinate transport for the right adopter, while others prefer a local meet-and-greet first. Open a dog's profile and ask the organization directly how their out-of-area adoption process works.
