American Maltese Association Rescue is a national 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization staffed
entirely by dedicated volunteers caring for homeless Maltese and securing adoptive families.  Maltese
come to rescue from many sources, animal shelters, death of the primary caretaker, people whose
health has changed, and those facing loss of home.

All AMA Rescue Maltese are cared for by approved foster families.  Our available rescue dogs tend to
be located in areas of the country with active volunteers and available foster homes.  More homeless
Maltese could be accepted if we had more foster families.  Please consider this worthwhile experience. 

Please visit our "About Us" page to learn more about our Organization.
The dogs appearing on this website are actual Maltese rescued by AMA Rescue.

More Older Shelter Maltese Welcomed to AMA Rescue

In the past month AMA Rescue has provided care for four older dogs, Jude, Hunter, Lily and Dakota.  Hunter was adopted, Jude and Dakota are in foster homes and seeking forever homes, and sadly Lily had so many health problems making her survival impossible.   The acquisition of these four dogs would not be possible without our new and prior foster care providers willing to provide care for these senior dogs.  Please spread the word that mature Maltese make great household companions.
AMA Rescue couldn’t survive without the help from our wonderful donors.  For those that want to make a difference for a Maltese in need, but who cannot adopt or foster ... this is for you.  A donation of any size will make a big difference for our rescue Maltese.  Your donation is what makes it possible for us to continue to save the lives of Maltese in need.
