Description
Dog Breed: Maltese / Shih Tzu / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: $250.00. Meet Tater Tot! From forgotten to fabulous—Tater Tot is proof that a little love can change everything. This adorable 2-year-old Maltese/Shih Tzu mix is believed to have spent far too long fending for himself. He was found wandering, desperately rummaging for food, with no owner ever coming forward to claim him. His coat was severely matted and packed with dirt and debris, making it clear he hadn't been cared for in quite some time. Fast forward to today, and Tater Tot has made an incredible transformation! With a fresh groom, proper care, and lots of love, he's become the happy, handsome little gentleman he was always meant to be. Tater Tot is a total love bug. His favorite place is right by your side, whether you're relaxing on the couch, working around the house, or heading out on an adventure. He thrives on companionship and is happiest when he's with his people. He has been fully vetted and is ready to start the next chapter of his life: ✅ Neutered ✅ Vaccinated ✅ Dewormed ✅ Microchipped After everything he's been through, Tater Tot deserves a family that will never let him wonder where his next meal or cuddle is coming from. He's looking for a forever home where he'll be cherished, spoiled, and loved for the rest of his life. Could Tater Tot be the missing piece your family has been looking for? He can't wait to meet you!

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.
