Story
Meet Hamlett, an adorable Shih Tzu with a big personality and an even bigger heart! This handsome boy is looking for a family to call his own.Hamlett is a friendly, affectionate dog who loves people and enjoys being part of the action. He has never met a stranger and is happy to make friends wherever he goes. Whether he's greeting visitors, spending time with family, or soaking up attention, Hamlett thrives on companionship.He gets along well with other dogs and especially enjoys playing and wrestling with his canine friends. Like many playful pups, he can get a little overly excited during roughhousing and may try to be the boss, so continued supervision and positive guidance during playtime are recommended. He also lives peacefully with cats and completely ignores them.Hamlett is crate trained and sleeps quietly through the night. If he needs to go outside, he'll politely let you know with a bark. He is doing wonderfully with house training and has very few accidents in the home. He also travels well and has done great on trips to and from the vet.With a medium energy level, Hamlett enjoys a balance of playtime and relaxation. He's happy to join in on family activities, romp around with dog friends, and then settle in for some well-earned downtime.Hamlett is a loving, social companion who would make a wonderful addition to many different types of homes. If you're looking for a cheerful, friendly dog who gets along with people, dogs, and cats, Hamlett may be the perfect match for you.Name: HamlettBreed: Shih Tzu/Crossbreed   (Breed mix is not guaranteed-no DNA testing done).Sex: MaleAge: 3 years  (estimated)Weight: 8lbsSpayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Negative on recent testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS: Good with Children: Over 5Good with Dogs: YesGood with Cats: YesAdoption Fee: $550.00  (includes transport fee when applicable)                       $100-150 additional mandatory quarantine fee for Massachusetts residents.Location of dog currently:  Texas IMPORTANT INFORMATION - Paws New England is a foster-based rescue; our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south & New England.  Adoption donations cover pre-adoption veterinary costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age-appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England, if necessary.Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse, whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher.

Molly is an 11 month old Imperial Shih Tzu 8 lbs. who will be turning 1 on 3/22. She is a loveable, affectionate girl who loves cuddles. Molly enjoys playtime, gets the zoomies and particularly enjoys playing with her toys. Molly loves people and other animals. She is very social/playful. She enjoys sleeping with you and never forgets to give lots of kisses. Molly does well on car rides and enjoys going outside. Molly would do best in a home with another dog to spend her time with..

Story
Meet Valentino! This little man is playful, affectionate, and absolutely adorable. He's a total lap dog and often wants nothing more than a good cuddle session. When cuddles aren't available? Give him a stuffy and he'll prance around the yard showing off his prize and nibbling it until he finds the squeaker. Valentino is still young and he hasn't outgrown his puppy energy - he'd love a family where he can keep happy with walks and play as well as suppling all the love and affection he can handle. Valentino has previously done well with dogs but has no experience with cats. We would recommend a slow introduction to any resident cats to ensure that all animals are safe and comfortable. Valentino can be somewhat high-strung at times and is reactive to new people when in busy environments. Due to this, he would likely do best in a teens+ or adult only home. **if you are interested in adopting, please complete an adopter's profile at parl.org and come in during our open hours (Wednesday-Sunday, 12-4)**

Story
Paki is a Hispanic dog, he understands only spanish words. He's very good and loves to cuddle. He gets real bad anxiety when left alone, when grooming or loud sounds. There's nothing wrong with him but his separation anxiety is putting us in a bad spot. He needs a home that can be with him and give him the love he needs. He's 9 years old this August and has been neutered.

Meet Candy! Adoption Fee: $425 Adoption Application - Copy & Paste https://forms.gle/FmtRtYxQNnemdkdw9 Sweet as her name, Candy is a beautiful little Shih Tzu searching for a loving forever home to spend her golden years. Candy's life changed when her beloved owner had to move into a nursing home, leaving this precious girl in need of a new family. At approximately 9 years old and weighing just 9 pounds, Candy is the perfect lap-sized companion. Despite losing the only home she knew, Candy has remained incredibly loving and friendly. She enjoys being close to her people, whether she's relaxing beside you on the couch or following you around the house. She's past the puppy stage and appreciates the simple pleasures in life, a cozy bed, a warm lap, and plenty of affection. Candy is looking for a special family who will open their hearts to a senior dog and give her the love, stability, and comfort she deserves. She has so much love left to give and would be a wonderful companion for someone looking for a sweet, loyal little friend. If you're ready to give this darling girl the happy ending she deserves, Candy is waiting to meet you.
