Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu / Maltese / Mixed. Hi, my name is Abby ❤️ My previous Mom got sick and could not care for me any longer, so I am in a foster home while I wait for my new person to find me! I am 13 years old shih Tzu mix, in good health, UTD on my shots, spayed AND house trained. I get along with dogs and I LOVE people. I love to take walks and be outside. Even on rainy days, I will be outside sniffing around while my foster brothers hide in the house! I'm a big fan of hanging out on the couch and cuddling too. My foster Mom says I am the perfect house guest!! The vet says I am a healthy girl. I'm getting my teeth cleaned the day before Thanksgiving and then I will be ready to go live in my forever home. I am house trained, but please remember I am a senior girl and need to go outside on a regular basis. Please give me grace if I do make a mistake! Do I sound like the perfect best friend for you? I sure hope so!! Fill out an application and let's make plans to meet. I want to spend the holidays with my new family!! Love, Abby ❤️ Adoption fee to help cover Abby's dental: $100 Abby qualifies for a senior to senior adoption. If you are 62+ and agree to use the rescue's vet, Abby's vet bills will be covered.

More About Mal-Shi Breed
Overview:
The Mal-Shi, a charming designer breed, is a delightful cross between the gentle Maltese and the affectionate Shih Tzu. Originating from the desire to combine the best traits of both parent breeds, the Mal-Shi is typically a small, sturdy companion dog, rarely exceeding 15 pounds. Their physical characteristics often include a soft, wavy to curly, hypoallergenic-friendly coat that sheds minimally, requiring regular grooming to prevent matting. Common coat colors range from white, cream, and black to various shades of brown and brindle. Temperament-wise, Mal-Shis are renowned for being incredibly sweet, playful, and intelligent, making them highly trainable and eager to please. They thrive on human companionship and are generally excellent with children and other pets, making them a fantastic choice for families and individuals alike. Their adaptability, coupled with their moderate exercise needs, makes them well-suited for apartment living. While generally healthy, potential health considerations include respiratory issues common to brachycephalic breeds (if the Shih Tzu parent has a very flat face), patellar luxation, and eye conditions. Regular veterinary check-ups are crucial for maintaining their well-being.
