Shih Tzu and Maltese Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet the cutest little blind pooch with the biggest heart

This sweet senior boy is looking for a calm, loving home where he can comfortably live out his golden years. While he may not see the world with his eyes, he sees perfectly with his heart.

He absolutely LOVES being with his people — your presence is his favorite thing. Whether it’s relaxing on the couch, following you from room to room, or napping nearby while you go about your day, he just wants to be close.

Because he’s blind, he does best in familiar, consistent spaces where he can easily learn his surroundings and navigate with confidence. Once he maps out his home, he moves around like a little pro! ✠̈

He doesn’t need much — just:

• A predictable layout

• A patient, loving family

• A cozy spot to rest

• And someone who understands that senior dogs deserve the very best

In return, you’ll get the sweetest companion, quiet loyalty, and the kind of love only a senior dog can give.

If you’ve ever considered opening your heart to a special little soul, this precious boy is waiting for you.

Give him the soft landing he deserves.

We do not have a facility for you to visit. You are welcome to email ccrcdogs@ccrcdogs.com with specific questions, but please complete the online application, which can be found at www.ccrcdogs.com, to secure your position in line for one of our dogs. You can also find a description of our process on that same page. Puppies will not be available to be seen until their 10-day quarantine has passed. Our adoption fees are listed on our website and cover the cost of the spay/neuter, age-appropriate shots and tests, medications to bring the dog to full health, and a free visit with one of our approved vets after adoption. Most dogs at CCRC are obtained from animal control centers so there is often very little known about their history or current habits. You can always expect to do some training, regardless of whether you adopt a dog or a puppy, including crate training, house training, and basic manners. CCRC has a variety of materials and resources to assist you with this, and we have trainers who will offer free phone/email support.
