Description
Dog Breed: Maltese / Shih Tzu / Mixed (long coat). Meet Bitsy! Her name could not be more perfect for this tiny girl. Bitsy is an adorable 1 year old Maltese mix who weighs just 7 pounds and is full grown. What she lacks in size, she definitely makes up for in personality. She is spunky, playful, and loves chasing toys. Walks are another favorite, and Bitsy likes to greet the people she sees along the way with a little bark. She is currently learning her manners and working on house training, so her new family will need to continue helping her practice both. Bitsy lives with two other dogs in her foster home and loves playing with them, especially when she can steal one of their toys and convince them to join the fun. She may be the smallest of the group, but she certainly has the biggest personality. When meeting someone new, Bitsy needs a few minutes to decide they are okay, but once she does, she is ready to become their best friend. She loves sitting in laps, snuggling, and giving plenty of kisses. When her foster mom needs to leave, Bitsy may initially protest being in her crate, but she eventually settles down and takes a nice nap until she returns. Bitsy is looking for a family who will appreciate her playful spirit, continue teaching her how to be the best little dog she can be, and include her in their everyday adventures. She is young, affectionate, and eager to be part of the action. If you are looking for a tiny companion with a big personality and plenty of love to share, Bitsy would love 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.
