Story
Meet Muggles, a 13 year old Shih Tzu Dachshund mix looking for a calm, loving forever home. He belonged to my grandparents, and I am helping rehome him because they can no longer care for him. Muggles is very sweet, affectionate, and low maintenance. He enjoys short walks, treats, and being near his people. He does well with other dogs and cats and mostly ignores other pets. He has not been around many kids, so a quieter home is preferred. He does have separation anxiety and may have accidents if left alone too long. He has back issues and should live in a home with no stairs or very minimal stairs. He should not jump on or off furniture. He has had an enlarged heart his entire life and has done well. Muggles will come with his bed, toys, and everything he needs.

Story
Memaw came from our grandmother. She is a friendly, energetic 9 year old. Ideally, her experienced companion person would be a home-body that stays active with her as she is a velcro-dog. She’ll jog or chase a ball, but doesn’t care for chew toys. Memaw loves warm laps by the TV. Her person would need to patiently set boundaries as she barely knows “sit” & “lay down” & will likely eat things she shouldn’t when unsupervised. So she needs a calm, clean home. She needs more house training because she grew up with a doggy door, but luckily she’s good on leash walks. Though she’s friendly with animals, she’s doesn’t understand boundaries, & may be too much for them. Memaw is currently praise & treat-motivated as she is underweight (14lbs) but should be about 16-18lbs, so extra meals & potty breaks are required till then. She has mild skin allergies, but knows groomers & is mostly calm on car rides. She’s had puppies before, but is now spayed. She has one shorter ear due to an old injury.
