Description
Dog Breed: Maltese / Shih Tzu / Mixed (long coat). Adoption Fee: 500. Jax (we also call him Jack) is sweet and affectionate. Jax is 1-2 years old and 8.8 pounds. He likes to be picked up, sit on your lap, or he does great in his little bed. He is calm tempered, but enjoys short walks on the leash and playing fetch. He is good with other small dogs and lived with cats in his initial foster home. He’s fine with older kids (a 7 year old) but hasn’t been around any babies since we’ve had him so we don’t know about that. He’s smart; housebroken and so far we taught him to sit, he comes, goes to his bed, and he’s a really good boy. Grateful Dogs Rescue incurs substantial veterinary and other expenses in rescuing our dogs. In order to recoup some of these costs, we request a tax-deductible donation for each adoption. The suggested donation for Jax is $500. If you are interested in adopting Jax, please complete our online adoption application at .gratefuldogsrescue/adoption-process/ . One of our volunteers will get back to you. Adoptions are local, confined to the SF Bay Area. Jax is being fostered in San Francisco.

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.
