Shih Tzu and Poodle Dogs Available for Adoption in Bowie, Maryland

Puff may not be a magic dragon, but she is a pretty magical little lady. This sweet senior girl is looking for a calm, loving home where she can enjoy leisurely walks, cozy naps, and spending time with her favorite humans. She absolutely lights up when you talk to her and greets her people with the sweetest smile.

Puff gets along well with other dogs, does well with respectful children over 8, and would be happy in a townhouse or apartment thanks to her low activity level and quiet nature. She’s also doing great with working on her house training, doesn’t seem to need a crate, and rides wonderfully in the car.

What Puff needs most is a patient, loving person to give her a soft place to land and enjoy her golden years. Could you be the one to give this precious girl the peaceful next chapter she deserves?
