Story
Max is a 15-month-old Maltese & Shih Tzu mix (Malshi) with a beautiful white and tan coat. This "Sweet Love" is the perfect age—past the tiny puppy stage, but still full of playful energy. He is a very communicative boy who isn't shy about letting you know what he needs; whether he’s hungry, ready for a treat, or needs to head outside, he’ll give you a little "yap" to keep you in the loop. Although he is not yet fully house trained, he is fully crate trained and handles his time in his crate like a total pro!Note: Max has a 15-month-old brother named Teddy who is also available! (In their photo together, Max is the smiling one on the right and his brother Teddy is the sweet one on the left). They are independent enough to go to separate homes, but would also love to be adopted as a pair if you have room for two!

Story
​​Meet Teddy: The Sweet & Thoughtful Companion!​Teddy is a handsome, 15-month-old Malshi with a heart of gold. In the photo of the two brothers together, Teddy is the sweet fellow on the left, while his brother Max is on the right.​While Max is a bold "go-getter," Teddy is a more gentle observer. He has plenty of young-adult energy and loves to play, but he has a patient, sweet nature that makes him a wonderful companion.​Personality & Traits:Teddy is independent yet very affectionate. He likes to take in his surroundings before jumping into the fun. He is more measured and patient than his adventurous brother, making him a great fit for someone who appreciates a loyal, even-keeled pup.​The Brother Connection:Teddy and Max are great mates but have independent spirits. They can be adopted together as a ready-made family, but they are also prepared to thrive in separate homes. If you're looking for a sweet, observant boy with a gentle soul, Teddy is your man!

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Bailey is a 14-year-old Shih Tzu with a gentle soul and a big love for naps and cuddles. He’s the perfect companion for someone who enjoys a relaxed lifestyle and lots of cozy time. Bailey is house trained and does well with kids and other dogs, though he prefers lounging over playing at this stage of life. Due to recent changes in our family dynamic, we’re unfortunately no longer able to provide the level of care and attention Bailey deserves. He is partially deaf and partially blind, but as of his most recent veterinary visit, he is otherwise in good health. Bailey continues to get around well and functions normally; he simply feels most comfortable staying close to his caretaker. Bailey is loving, calm, and incredibly sweet—a wonderful companion for someone looking to share quiet moments, companionship, and affection. He would thrive in a patient, loving home where he can feel safe, secure, and deeply loved during his golden years.

Story
Looking for a big personality in a small, fluffy package? Say hello to Bella, the 13-lb Shih Tzu who proves that the best things really do come in fun-sized editions. She may start out a little shy, but give her a minute and suddenly you’ve got a snuggle-obsessed shadow who thinks your lap is prime real estate. Couch? Bed? Your favorite hoodie? Bella will gladly occupy all of the above. Bella is a mature 5–6 year-old lady who enjoys the finer things in life: slow, classy vibes only. She loves calm dog friends and even cuddles with her foster dog sister… but don’t bring that wild puppy energy around her. She’s far too sophisticated for that nonsense. She’s got a couple of quirks (don’t we all?). Face cleaning? She’ll tolerate it with a little patience. Snuggling with you while someone approaches? She may throw some diva side-eye or a growl at the person approaching - easy fix, though: just pop her back down on the ground and she remembers she’s a gentle lady. Her hobbies include: - Eating all the snacks - Strutting her stuff on walks - Perfecting the art of napping - Using the bathroom outside… or a puppy pad if it’s a code-red situation - Being the cutest thing in the room Bella is crate trained, affectionate, hilarious, and looking for a patient home that appreciates a dog with charm, snuggle skills, and just the right amount of quirky diva energy. If you’re ready for unconditional love (and possibly losing your lap forever), Bella’s ready to move in! To adopt her, please apply on www.orphanannierescue.org Her adoption fee is $300, which includes her shots up-to-date, microchipping, spay, heartworm testing, and dental cleaning.
