About the Maltipoo

The Maltipoo is a small dog breed originating in United States (Maltese x Poodle cross). Adult dogs typically weigh 6 to 12 pounds and live 12 to 15 years. The breed is described as affectionate, people-focused, apartment-suited, low-shedding.

Apartment and condo households that want a small companion and are home often enough that the dog is not alone for long stretches. Owners must be committed to a professional groom every five to seven weeks for the life of the dog. Homes out for long working days, since separation distress is one of the two most common reasons Maltipoos are surrendered. Also a poor fit for anyone unwilling to walk the dog on a harness rather than a collar, which is not optional for a toy-sized neck.

Adult Maltipoos need about 30 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent dogs typically need 40 minutes. The coat is curly-coated with low shedding, and brushing every 6 weeks keeps the coat manageable.

Common health concerns for Maltipoos

    The kneecap slips out of its groove; ranges from an occasional skip in the gait to a surgical case. Source: VCA →
  • Legg-Calve-Perthes disease
    Degeneration of the femoral head seen in toy breeds; worth investigating if a young dog favours a back leg. Source: VCA →
  • Progressive retinal atrophy
    Inherited retinal degeneration present in Poodle lines; leads to gradual vision loss. Source: VCA →
  • Dental disease
    Crowded small mouths accumulate periodontal disease; regular cleaning under anaesthetic is routine. Source: VCA →

How much does it cost to adopt a Maltipoo in Canada?▼
Adoption fees for a Maltipoo from a Canadian rescue typically range $300 to $600 CAD for adults, with puppies usually $500 to $900. That fee normally covers the spay or neuter, core vaccinations, microchip, deworming, and a veterinary health check before placement. The exact number varies by rescue and the dog's age, medical history, and how long they have been in care — the live amount shows on each rescue profile.
Are these Maltipoos for sale in Canada?▼
Not for sale, for adoption, which is usually the better deal. Every Maltipoo here comes from a Canada rescue or shelter, not a breeder, pet store, or classified seller. Adoption fees are typically a few hundred dollars and already include vaccinations, deworming, microchip and spay or neuter when age-appropriate, versus roughly $2,000 to $5,000 or more to buy a Maltipoo from a breeder. If you searched "maltipoo for sale canada" or "maltipoo puppies for sale," adopting gets you a healthy, vetted dog for a fraction of the price.
Where can I buy a Maltipoo in Canada, and should I?▼
You can buy from a registered breeder, but it is worth weighing against adoption first. A reputable Maltipoo breeder typically charges $2,000 to $5,000 or more and often has a waitlist, while a rescue Maltipoo costs a few hundred dollars fully vetted and may be available now. Be cautious of cheap maltipoo-for-sale ads on classified sites and marketplaces, which are frequently backyard breeders or puppy-mill resellers with unvetted, sometimes sick animals and no health guarantee. If you do buy, insist on seeing where the puppies were raised and getting vet records. For most families in Canada, adopting a rescue Maltipoo is cheaper, faster, and gives a dog in need a home.
Are there free Maltipoos in Canada, or maltipoos under $500?▼
Adoption is the closest honest answer, and it is not free. A rescue Maltipoo in Canada typically costs a few hundred dollars, which already covers vaccinations, deworming, microchip and spay or neuter, so it lands at or under the "$500" people search for and far under breeder prices. Be wary of genuinely free maltipoo listings. An animal advertised free to a good home has usually not been vetted, and free rehoming ads are the route flippers and unregistered breeders use to move animals with no health guarantee and no recourse. Paying a rescue fee buys you a dog someone has already examined, treated, and been honest with you about.
Are there Maltipoo puppies in Canada, or only adults?▼
Both, but adults far outnumber puppies, and it is worth knowing that before you start looking. Most Maltipoos arriving in Canada rescue are adolescents and adults, because that is the age at which first homes tend to give up. Puppies do come through, usually as accidental litters or with a surrendered mother, and they are typically spoken for quickly. Setting an alert beats refreshing the page. It is also worth asking whether you actually want one: an adult arrives with a temperament a foster has already observed and described, where a Maltipoo puppy is a prediction, and for this breed in particular knowing what you are getting is the more useful thing.
Where can I find a Maltipoo near me in Canada?▼
Start with the listings on this page, which pull from Canada rescues and shelters and are refreshed regularly, so what you see is what is genuinely available rather than a stale directory. If nothing suits today, that is normal for this breed: rescue intake is intermittent rather than steady, and a breed with none listed this week often has several next month. Setting an alert beats checking back, and it is worth widening to nearby towns, since most rescues serving Canada will adopt out across a reasonable driving distance rather than only inside one municipality.
