Here's what the humans have to say about me:
MEET RUPERT!
This spunky little guy is 4 years young and ready to meet his forever someone. Rupert is handsome Maltese/Shih Tzu with the cutest underbite you've ever seen. Rupert is non shedding and hypoallergenic. He has the softest hair that he just loves brushed! He rubs his little body everywhere and is a total couch potato. He loves his walks but also wants to cuddle on the sofa or bed with you. He'd love to binge watch the latest Netflix series! Rupert sleeps through the night on your bed or in a crate. He is great will all dogs big and small. Male and female. Rupert needs a great new owner that understands his need to be combed and brushed through to maintain their coat and a grooming every two to three months or so depending on how short you go between cuts.
Handsome Rupert is now neutered, microchipped and up to date on all vaccines, dewormed and current on rabies. He is also crate trained but also potty trained! He is wonderful on a leash. He is a total cuddle bug at night. Either on your pillow or under the covers. Rupert needs a calm peaceful, mellow home. A home with another dog or two would be great. He likes to play with dogs, people and toys!
Please tell us a little about yourself, lifestyle, activity level, your home, and any other dogs or kids in the house. We think Rupert would be great in a home with other dogs however he could also be spoiled rotten as an only dog. He came from a home with children and was great with all of them. He is on a premium grain-free limited ingredient kibble consisting of Bison, Oatmeal and Barley. Thank for showing interest! Rupert is a funny, charming little dog and will make his new family smile and laugh all the time! What more could one want in a dog?
Doodle type dogs are a lot of work so please make sure you’re ready for the responsibility and that everyone in the household is ready and on-board for the long term commitment that training, grooming and exercise a pup like this requires.
Should things move forward to a meet & greet/home check situation ALL family members, kids and pets currently living at the residence must be present. The meet and greet to not only make sure she gels with you guys and your dog but that everyone in the family is on board and equally as enthusiastic.
