Hi! I have gone through training but I am still fearful, I need a handler/adopter that understands my stress & triggers. I come with special care, I want to live with maybe one other dog, but would prefer to love you all by myself.  ##2507224##

Story
Breed: Maltese / Shih Tzu X DOB: 10/2022 Gender: female Altered: yes Coat: medium Size: small Color(s): white Description: Hi, I'm Celine, an active fluffy Maltese / Shih Tzu X in need of a new home as my owner has no time for me due to a busy schedule. I love children and I'm good with other small dogs, but it's unknown how I'd do with larger dogs or cats. I enjoy going for walks and know basic commands.I take daily seizure medication. This medication causes me to drink lots of water. I'd do best with a doggy door so I may go out when I need to. If you think you can give me the love and attention I deserve, please fill out an online application to meet me.June 20, 2025, 10:59 am

Story
Roscoe is a tiny, snow-white Maltese with big teddy-bear eyes and a sweet button nose. He’s incredibly cute, expressive, and will be back to his fluffy self once his fresh haircut grows back. He’s energetic for his age, curious once comfortable, and loves exploring or snuggling into blankets. Roscoe warms up slowly but bonds deeply — his previous owner passed away, and he clearly loves having a person to be close to… and yes he looks adorable in sweaters. He’s mostly potty trained, loves his walks and has no problem on a leash, tolerates the crate well, and does best in a calm, quiet home (a retiree or someone with a mellow routine would be ideal). He is building confidence quickly. A perfect little companion with a gentle, loyal heart.
