Maltese and Shih Tzu Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Toto — Your New Best Little Buddy!

Toto is a 1 to 2 year‑old, 15‑lb cuddle bug with the softest coat, the sweetest eyes, and a heart that just wants to belong to someone. He’s the kind of dog who melts into you and makes every day feel a little cozier. We think Toto is a Maltese Shit-zu Mix..we know he is AMAZING!

Why Everyone Loves Toto:

✠̈ Affectionate, loyal, and people‑oriented
✠̈ Loves toys, belly rubs, and being right next to you
✠̈ Gets along with dogs big and small
✠̈ Walks nicely on leash + does well in a crate
✠̈ Mostly housebroken and eager to please..every day is better and better!

Toto can get a little jumpy when he’s excited or meeting new friends, but he’s learning his manners and improving every day. He’s neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated — all set for his forever family.

If you’re looking for a sweet, snuggly companion who wants nothing more than to love and be loved, Toto might be your perfect match.
