✨🐶 Last-Minute Availability — Meet Maple! 🐶✨
I’m so excited to share that a tiny red princess has just become available — and she’s almost ready to meet her forever family next week! 🥰
🍁 Her name is Maple, as sweet and warm as her color and personality. She’s the smallest baby in her litter, charting around 6–9 pounds full-grown, and her heart is even bigger than her little paws.
Maple is a soft, gentle soul — she loves to nap curled up like a cinnamon roll, snack between cuddles, and follow you everywhere like the sweetest shadow. Her favorite hobby? Eating, snuggling, napping, and repeating — basically the dream life of every spoiled puppy! 💕
She will leave my care freshly bathed, smelling like flowers, and with everything ready for her new beginning:
💉 Vaccinated
🪪 Microchipped
🐛 Dewormed
🧴 Clean and pampered to perfection
She’s a little piece of sunshine wrapped in fur, waiting to fill someone’s life with warmth, joy, and unconditional love. ☀️🐾
Located in San Diego — pickup only (no shipping).
If you’ve been waiting for the right baby… this is your sign. Maple is ready to blossom in her forever home 🌸💖

🖤🐾 Spookie in His Little
Dracula Cape 🐾🖤
Spookie looks like he stepped out of a fairy tale—just the spooky kind with extra snuggles. Wrapped in his tiny Dracula cape, he’s not scary at all… he’s adorable. His fluffy ears peek out like little bat wings, and when he trots around, the cape flutters behind him like he’s on a magical mission to find cuddles.
He’s not just dressed to impress—Spookie is ready for his forever home!
He loves being around people, and the moment you open your arms, he leaps right in like he’s been waiting for you all along. Sweet, playful, and full of charm, Spookie is the kind of pup who turns every day into a treat.
Let the world know: Spookie is the cutest little Dracula you’ll ever meet—and he’s ready to steal your heart.

It was a pleasure working with Ellie to find our perfect pup. She was responsive and kept her word when it came to meeting up, to meet our baby, Boo. I would definitely recommend Maltipoos SD to anyone try to find the cutest, most perfect addition to your family.

Ellie with the Good Dog app was so easy to work with. I received pictures of my new baby and I was able to make the complete transaction on the app. Also, Ellie sent me information, toys, food etc to buy for my new baby and the app offered very reasonable pet insurance. Experiencing my new pup in the first night just shows she was well taken care of by Ellie.

Ellie was awesome. She made everything so easy for us. We had a tight flight into San Diego and she even got a hotel to make sure it would work. So many good things to say about Ellie. But let’s talk about the amazing puppy we ended with. We named her Franni. We had been searching for our Franni girl for a long time. We wanted a small, red, curly poof ball. And boy, did Ellie deliver. She definitely has the bloodlines for the most perfect pups. Our little Franni met all of our expectations and beyond. She is the most adorable pup ever and she immediately accepted our family the day we brought her home. Socialized, immediately took to her crate, potty training is a breeze so far. This puppy from Ellie could not be more perfect! Thank you Ellie!!
