Lilo - Shiba Inu and Maltese Dog for Adoption in Houston, Texas

Hello, I'm Lilo. I was found across from a park in some bushes with my pal, Stitch. I wasn't too sure about my rescuers at first but quickly learned that with good people come good things- flea baths, meds and shots to keep me healthy, plenty of grub, and the good ole air-conditioned indoors! I'm a little bug and warm up quickly to people! I get along with other dogs in my foster home where there are all kinds of pups up to 30 pounds. I'm happy to sleep in my kennel overnight with a treat and am always ready for a walk. Just let me sit in your lap and you'll want to take me home!

Maltese dogs are playful, intelligent, and alert, with a confident demeanor despite their small size. They require regular grooming to maintain their luxurious coat and are suitable for apartment living due to their size and adaptability.

The Shiba Inu is a small to medium sized dog breed known for its fox like appearance, with a curled tail and upright ears. Originating from Japan, Shiba Inus are independent, alert, and spirited dogs. They are loyal to their families but can be reserved around strangers.

With a thick double coat and a distinct red, sesame, or black and tan coloration, Shiba Inus are charming companions for active individuals or families.
