Story
Local Shelter PA Kennel License #5254Wags Rescue & ReferralSouthampton Pa 18966 Name: Maxx (yes, Maxx)Breed: Terrier Mix (aka chaos gremlin with cute ears)Age: 5ish? Mentally? Toddler with a chip on his shoulder.Weight: Small but thinks hes a linebacker. Bio:Hi, Im Maxx. I bark at the wind, judge your fashion choices, and have a deep personal vendetta against Amazon delivery drivers. Im not for everyoneand thats how I like it. I bond with one person and treat them like royalty. Everyone else? Dead to me. Im sassy, scrappy, and suspicious of happiness. I enjoy long walks (as long as we dont see people, bikes, strollers, or anything that moves), and I have perfected the art of side-eye. My trust must be earned. My affection is a rare reward. My attitude? Relentless. Likes: My person (youll know if its you) Treats I immediately spit out, then beg for again Warm laundry piles Screaming into the void (a.k.a. barking at absolutely nothing) Dislikes: Being ignored Being touched without a formal agreement 99.9% of humanity Vacuum cleaners (they started it) Ideal Home:Just me and my chosen human. No kids, no chaos (unless its mine), and no weird vibes. If you want a dog who loves you like you're the sun, moon, and cheese drawerand is willing to go full goblin mode to protect youIm your guy.   Please visit our website www.wagsrescue.org to learn more about this amazing dog and Wags Rescue.

These dogs are great. One is a Yorkie the other is a shitzu. I will need to find a home for both. Rocco is the white shitzu and he is 7 years old. Full of energy, loveable and does not bite. Loves attention. Joey is 13 Yorkie and loves to relax and go out to the stores and stroll. He is very calm and loving as well.

Story
Meet Miles, a 10-year-old Shih Tzu mix with a sprinkle of Maltese magic, and enough personality to keep you entertained for years. This little man is looking for his chill kingdom—a low-key home where fewer furry roommates roam, and his occasional "grumpy pants" moments are respected. If he gives a little growl, don’t worry—that’s just his way of saying, “Not right now, thanks.” Miles doesn’t do pickups unless he requests it; everything’s on his terms, and that’s part of his charm.The ideal sidekick? A sweet, playful female dog who understands and respects boundaries. Miles thrives on routine and is house-trained as long as you keep him on a schedule. He's fully vetted, neutered, vaccinated, and even had a dental—so his pearly whites are just as charming as his personality.Once a severely matted stray, Miles was scooped up by Peyton's Place Animal Rescue, and he’s since revealed his total softie side. He's the king of cuddles—when he’s ready. His favorite snooze spot? Curled up at the foot of your bed, where he can keep watch. Oh, and did we mention his diva streak? Miles demands to be carried up and down stairs, and trust us—he'll unleash his inner rockstar if you don’t oblige.Despite his quirks, Miles is an absolute sweetheart who just wants a cozy home where he can rule in comfort. Can you offer this spunky senior the royal treatment he deserves? Apply now and meet the most lovable diva around!   ##2207857##
