5. California: Maltese and mixes

In LA, they love the Maltese. In Sacramento, the top canine-of-choice is the border collie, while San Diego residents prefer a dog that loves snow as well as desert, the Siberian husky. But California also shows a lot of love for the shelter pet, so much so that it’s the official state dog. At local shelters and rescue organizations, you can expect to find many mixed-breed and purebred canines to choose from — dogs who need a loving home and will fit your personality and lifestyle perfectly.
