Program update on 05 Dec. •
Some moments just stay with you—and this was one of them. A sweet little girl and her kind mama drove just a short distance to meet our precious Midnight, a tiny ball of black fur with the most soulful, expressive eyes. From the second they arrived, their energy was pure love. I completely fell for that little girl’s joy—it was the kind of happiness that lights up a room.
Thank you both for trusting me, especially in these uncertain times. You made a deposit and believed in this connection even before meeting me in person, and that means more than I can say. I know Midnight is exactly where she’s meant to be—wrapped in love, laughter, and the gentle care of her new forever family.
Wishing you endless cuddles, tail wags, and magical memories together 💫🐾

Taylor and her dad made the drive all the way from Fontana, a little nervous as first-time puppy parents. But the moment they laid eyes on their new furever friend, everything changed. You could see the hesitation melt into joy, and the love they already had to give was undeniable.
Thank you, Taylor, for opening your heart and home to one of our precious pups. It means the world to us to see our little ones go to families ready to love them deeply. Especially during this special season, your new journey together is a beautiful reminder of the warmth and magic that comes with new beginnings.
Wishing you a lifetime of tail wags, puppy kisses, and unforgettable memories 💛🐾

Biscuit found her forever home! Her amazing new family drove all the way from Madera to pick up this special little boy and I couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you so much for welcoming one of my pups into your hearts and home. I truly hope he brings you all the love, joy, and cuddles you were hoping for. Wishing you and your family a beautiful holiday season filled with puppy kisses and happy memories!

I held onto sweet Autumn for a few extra weeks because her future family was making the long trip from Sacramento—and wow, what an effort! I'm so thankful he chose one of my pups to bring joy and love into his home. It truly means the world to me to be part of such a special moment. Thank you to the whole family, and I wish you a beautiful holiday season and a joyful end to the year!

Dear L.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking a leap of faith and reserving little Cinnamon at the very last minute on Thanksgiving Day. Your effort to make that drive—right before dinner, no less—meant the world to me.
Cinnamon is such a sweet, snuggly ball of fluff with the softest caramel curls and the happiest tail wiggles. Knowing she’s now part of your loving family fills me with so much joy and gratitude. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better home for her.
Wishing you, your wife ,and Cinnamon a lifetime of cuddles, zoomies, and sweet memories.
With love and thanks,
Maltipoos SD

Thank you to the wonderful family from Miramesa who made the long drive to San Diego to welcome little Butter into their hearts and home.

It's with mixed feelings that we're saying goodbye to Autumn today. Her new dad came all the way from Medford, Oregon, and we're super grateful for his dedication. We spent her last day making sure she felt loved and got to hang out with her, hoping she knew how much we cared. We just know she's going to do great with her new family and have an amazing life. Thanks for trusting us and for making such a huge effort to come get her. We wish you the best!

Ellie was great! This was my first ever dog and I was nervous. I know there are scammers out here and can be nerve racking to take a chance on a breeder. Ellie is the perfect breeder!! She has great communication, beautiful and healthy dogs that are checked prior to receiving, and the experience was overall wonderful. I got Noodles (now Nugget) and he is so sweet, kind, playful, and socializes very well. If you are thinking about retrieving a dog from her she the best!

Ellie was so great to work with! Her communication throughout the entire puppy adopting process was excellent. She made us feel very comfortable in moving forward with booking a flight to San Diego from Oregon to pickup Autumn, our newest addition to the family!
Ellie met me at the airport with Autumn and prepared her for the travel not only with essentials such as dog food, water bowl, pee pads, microchip registration, and pet insurance information, but also bathed and dressed her along with a sweet Christmas tag for my boys! Autumn is transitioning smoothly into our home with enjoying lots of cuddles and play time. We can say without a doubt that Ellie provides compassionate care for her pups. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a maltipoo! Thank you Ellie!

Ellie was always so responsive and great to work with! Our experience with her was perfect as she gave us updates on pumpkin until the time we could pick him up. Since getting him our entire family has fallen in love with Pumpkin!!! He has been the best addition!!!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Ellie! The whole process was very easy. Our sweet pup Yoshi (aka Butter) is thriving with his new family. My two sons are absolutely in love with him, and it’s clear from day one that early socialization played a huge role in how well-adjusted he is. He came home already showing great progress with potty training and crate training, which has made the transition unbelievably smooth. Thank you again, for giving our family such a wonderful, happy, and well cared for little pup. We are so grateful!

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.
