***PLEASE DO NOT FILL OUT AN APPLICATION UNLESS YOU ARE SERIOUSLY INTERESTED IN ADOPTING, PLEASE READ THE BIO IN FULL TO UNDERSTAND WHERE MARLEY IS, HOW TRANSPORT WORKS*** 🩵 Meet Marley — AKA Mar Mar! The Fluffiest Little Chaos Nugget You'll Ever Meet! 🩵 Approximately 9 weeks old | 4.3 lbs as of October 28, 2026 | Male Shih Tzu Puppy | Dog-Friendly | Cat-Friendly | Kid-Friendly Stop what you're doing and prepare yourself for the cutest little ball of fluff! 😍🐾 Meet Marley, affectionately known as Mar Mar, a ridiculously adorable, impossibly fluffy, totally spunky little Shih Tzu puppy who is ready to steal your heart! He's got the looks, he's got the personality, and he's got enough puppy energy to keep you entertained all day long. One minute, he's a tiny tornado of zoomies, and the next, he's ready to curl up in your lap and snooze like the little angel he pretends to be. 😂🩵 But before we get to all the cuteness, let's talk about how this little guy found his way into our care. 💔 The last little puppy left behind Marley was born around August 21, 2026, and at just about nine weeks old, he was already facing an uncertain future. He was being given away on a street corner near the South Texas/Mexico border, along with his littermates, to anyone willing to take a puppy. There didn't seem to be much concern about where these babies would end up or whether they'd find safe, loving homes. When one of our volunteers came across the situation, Marley was the last puppy left. The last little one still waiting. Thankfully, our volunteer stepped in, and Mar Mar got his chance at a much brighter future. ❤️ Now, this tiny boy is safe and ready to find the family who will love him for all the years to come. 🧸 A tiny fluff ball with BIG puppy energy! Don't let that innocent little face fool you. Marley is a whole lot of puppy packed into one ridiculously fluffy package! This boy has places to go, toys to destroy, and zoomies to zoom. 😂 💨 The zoomies are REAL! Marley loves to run around, play, and burn off that endless puppy energy. If you're looking for a quiet little stuffed animal who sits perfectly still all day, this probably isn't your guy! 🧸 Toy enthusiast extraordinaire! Mar Mar LOVES toys and would absolutely adore having his very own toy basket. The more fun things to play with, the better! 😴 Professional napper. Once he's finished racing around the house and entertaining everyone with his antics, he'll be ready for a well-deserved nap. Puppy life is exhausting, after all! 🩵 Lap cuddler in training. When playtime is over, Marley would love nothing more than a warm lap, a cozy bed, and a human to snuggle with. Actually, make that multiple beds. He would happily put every single one to good use! He is energetic, playful, curious, affectionate, and endlessly entertaining. He's the kind of puppy who will make you laugh at the silliest things and remind you that sometimes the best moments in life are the little ones. 🐶 Little brother potential? Absolutely! Marley loves other dogs and would do wonderfully in a home with a friendly canine companion. Having another well-socialized dog around could give him a playmate, help him learn appropriate doggy manners, and show him the ropes as he grows up. Of course, he'll still need his own training, supervision, and opportunities to learn. But a suitable doggy sibling could make life even more fun for this little social butterfly! 🐱 What about cats? Marley has already been introduced to cats, and they don't seem to bother him at all! He's still a tiny puppy, so he'll need to learn how to interact respectfully with feline family members, and introductions should always be supervised. But his initial reaction is encouraging for a home hoping to have both cats and dogs. 👧 Great family puppy! Mar Mar could be a wonderful addition to a family with children who understand how to interact gently and safely with a tiny puppy. At only 4.3 pounds, he's a little guy who needs careful handling, especially around very young children. With appropriate supervision, gentle interactions, and plenty of love, he has the potential to grow into a delightful family companion. Just imagine the memories you'll make together as he grows up! ✂️ All that fluff comes with a little upkeep! Marley's parents were reportedly both Shih Tzus, and he certainly looks the part! His coat doesn't appear to shed much, but his gorgeous fluff will need regular brushing and professional grooming to keep it healthy, comfortable, and free from painful mats. A lifetime of grooming appointments is part of the commitment to owning a Shih Tzu, but just look at that face. How could you resist? 🩵 🏡 What kind of home does Mar Mar need? Marley is looking for a family who understands that puppies are adorable little troublemakers who need time, patience, and consistency. His ideal home will provide: • Lots of playtime and enrichment to keep his curious little mind busy. • A cozy place to sleep, with as many comfy puppy beds as his little heart desires. • Positive, consistent training, including house-training, which he has not mastered yet. • Plenty of companionship and affection, with humans who want to include him in their everyday lives. • A suitable canine playmate, if available, who can help him learn and enjoy puppy life. • Regular grooming and veterinary care to keep him healthy, comfortable, and looking his best. Marley is still a baby. He'll need regular potty breaks, patience with accidents, help learning household routines, and guidance as he grows. His future family should be ready for the work involved in raising a puppy, not just the adorable moments. In return? You're getting a lifetime of companionship, hilarious antics, cuddles, and unconditional love. 🩵 Are you ready for a little Mar Mar magic? Marley may have started his life as the last puppy left on a street corner, but that doesn't have to be how his story is remembered. We want his future to be filled with toy baskets, warm laps, cozy beds, playful doggy friends, and a family who thinks he's the most precious little thing in the world. We want him to grow up knowing what it means to be safe, cherished, and wanted. He deserves a family who will love him when he's fluffy and freshly groomed, when he's covered in puppy mischief, when he's learning something new, and when he's curled up in their lap after a long day of zoomies. Marley is tiny, but the love he has to give will be enormous. 🐾❤️ Could Mar Mar be the missing piece of your family? If you're ready for puppy kisses, endless entertainment, and a lifetime of love wrapped up in one adorable little fluff ball, this sweet boy might just be your perfect match!

Meet Cookie Monster 💙🍪 Cookie Monster was found rocking a very unique blue makeover, and while his colorful coat may fade with time, his spunky personality is definitely here to stay! https://youtu.be/bbgb8qDGFnA This young pup is a total social butterfly who believes every person he meets has the potential to become his new best friend. He happily makes his rounds for pets and isn’t afraid to hop right into your lap when he’s ready for some cuddles. When he’s not soaking up attention, Cookie Monster loves to play! He enjoys running, playing chase, and hanging out with canine friends of all sizes. He has wonderful social skills, shares toys nicely, and even patiently waits his turn for treats. Cookie Monster has also shown how sweet he can be with feline friends. During his cat introduction, he calmly said hello, explored the room, and later came back to give the kitty a little face lick! He’s already showing off some great puppy skills, including walking nicely on leash, responding well to guidance, and happily going into his kennel. With his outgoing nature, he could make an awesome adventure buddy for walks, dog-friendly patios, brewery trips, and plenty of outings with his future family. The blue may fade, but Cookie Monster’s charm is permanent. 💙 This goofy, affectionate little guy is ready to bring a whole lot of personality and love to his forever home. https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6aa6ffd8c35306f2340b6824 Questions?

Buffy is a 13-year-old Shih Tzu with the heart of a teddy bear and the soul of a professional napper. Buffy came to us in 2023 after her beloved owner entered hospice care. Buffy is truly a love bug. She adores people, loves being a lap dog, and would happily spend her days snoozing beside you or curled up in bed at night. She gets along wonderfully with cats, dogs, and small children making her an easy addition to most homes. She’s calm, affectionate, and happiest when she’s close to her humans. Over the years, we worked hard to solve Buffy’s allergy issues and finally discovered she is allergic to grass, lamb, and coconut. Thankfully, she is now doing great on medication and her adopter will receive a full year supply of Zenrelia to help keep her comfortable. Buffy is also an absolute professional at taking her medicine especially if cheese or a pill pocket is involved. Buffy does have some special needs that come with being a senior lady. She is visually impaired and has limited depth perception, which means she can accidentally tumble off beds or couches if left unattended. She also doesn’t love having her face groomed or her eyes cleaned, though she behaves beautifully for the rest of her spa day. Buffy is also hard of hearing… selectively, of course. She may ignore loud noises during nap time, but somehow can still hear a snack bag from another room. Speaking of snacks....if food exists anywhere nearby, Buffy firmly believes she deserves some too. Her nose is fully operational and always on duty. Buffy is fully housetrained and does best going outside every 6 hours during the day, though she happily sleeps through the night. She is looking for a loving home that understands senior dogs deserve comfort, patience, and lots of soft places to nap. If you’re searching for a sweet, loyal companion who will fill your home with love, snuggles, and a little bit of comedy, Buffy may be your perfect match.
