Looking for a little dog with a HUGE heart? Say hello to Bonsai, a 6–7 year old Maltipoo weighing just 9.8 lbs. Rescued alongside his friend Rosebud, he’s overcome a rough start and is now a happy, resilient, and affectionate companion ready to enjoy life with a loving family.
About Bonsai
🐾 Age: 6–7 years | Weight: 9.8 lbs | Breed: Maltipoo
🐾 Friendly, affectionate, and adaptable — the perfect lapdog and travel buddy
🐾 Non-shedding coat (requires regular grooming)
🐾 Crate trained and ~98% house-trained
🐾 Leash-trained, walks nicely without pulling, and enjoys outdoor adventures
Personality & Daily Life
Bonsai is a flexible, easygoing little guy. He enjoys multiple walks a day, backyard sniffing sessions, and cuddling with his humans. He loves belly rubs and even has a cute habit of curling into a sitting position and rolling over for attention. While relaxed, he’s also ready for bursts of zoomies and playful fun.
Social Skills
🐾 Great with other dogs, especially small ones
🐾 Comfortable around children
🐾 Friendly but quirky — may softly growl as part of his playful communication
🐾 Not overly clingy, enjoys both company and downtime
Extra Highlights
Bonsai is surprisingly athletic for his size, curious, and smart. He understands basic commands like “sit” and “come,” and is motivated by treats, making training easier. He may occasionally chew on weak leashes, so a sturdy one is recommended.
