Story
Buttercup is a darling little Maltipoo who has already come such a long way. When she arrived, she was so severely matted that she needed to be completely shaved down—but underneath it all was a very sweet, gentle soul. She’s still a bit scared as she learns the world is safe, but she’s blossoming more and more every day, and it’s truly lovely to watch. As she gains confidence, Buttercup is beginning to show the wonderful traits Maltipoos are known for. This breed is typically affectionate, people-oriented, and eager to bond, and Buttercup is no exception—she just needs a little time and patience to fully shine. ✨ What Buttercup is growing into: 🌼 A loving, cuddly companion 🐾 Gentle and sensitive, with a big heart 🧠 Smart and responsive once she feels secure 💗 Loyal and devoted to her person 🏡 Perfect for a calm, reassuring home Buttercup will thrive with someone who understands that shy dogs bloom beautifully when given kindness, consistency, and love. Once she feels safe, she’s going to be an incredibly sweet, devoted little companion. If you’re the kind of person who finds joy in helping a gentle soul come out of her shell, Buttercup is ready to steal your heart 🌼🐾

Story
These castaways washed up on Milo’s doorstep sick and terrified. With proper medical care, good food and daily attention, they are slowly learning they are safe. It’s taking us time to work through the shyness, but it’s very evident that they just want to be with people they love. With patience and TLC, these sweet Shih Tzus are blossoming into loving companions. Skipper is the most outgoing and engaged of this bunch. He is bigger than his sibs, and is always in front of them in case they need protecting. He is super playful and food motivated. Once he trusts you he loves to roll over for some belly rubs.
