Maltese and Shih Tzu Dogs Available for Adoption in Hopkinton, Massachusetts

PLEASE NOTE: This dog is currently out of state but will be transported to Massachusetts shortly with no additional travel costs. Roughly 90% of our dogs are adopted prior to their transport up to MA and 10% are adopted locally.

Meet Archie! Archie is approximately 4 years old and 11 lbs currently and he likely has some Maltese/Shih Tzu in his mix. Archie was surrendered after his person could no longer care for him. In his foster home, he is doing great with his house training, crate training and leash walking. He could join households with dog-savvy kids 10+, and other small, calm dogs. He has not been exposed to cats. He would not be a good fit for an apartment. Archie does have a chicken allergy and needs to be on prescription food and apoquel.

His foster says, "Archie has been an only dog most of his life. He lived with an older person. He is an absolute joy. A Tiny Gentleman with a silly side. Perfect blend of snuggles and spunk. With his sweet and soulful eyes he can make every moment feel a little brighter. Archie is part fluff, a little Silly, and 100% irresistible. Life is always better with a little fluff and a lot of love."

He is available for adoption in N Dartmouth in May. Please fill out an application on our website at https://www.browndogcoalition.com/adoptable as a first step.
