Allie is an 12-year-old female Maltese who joined the Leashes End family in August 2017. A retired puppy mill breeder, Allie was dumped at a shelter in Hesperia, CA in May 2017 in horrifying physical condition. Risa, who was stationed in San Diego at the time, learned of Allie’s situation from a friend and simply could not get poor Allie’s haunting image out of her mind. Luckily, Risa’s friend Dawn Lierman of Maltese and More Rescue graciously pulled Allie out of the shelter and into their rescue where Risa was able to foster Allie until ultimately adopting her. As a result of her neglect, Allie suffers from severe arthritis and lost all of her teeth to dental disease. She’s also a bit grumpy around new people, but is otherwise pretty healthy. She is a trooper and never lets her physical limitations slow her down as she trots around the grounds of Leashes End.
