Maisie - Shih Tzu and Yorkshire Terrier Dog for Adoption in Cedar Mountain, North Carolina

Hi, everyone! My name is Maisie, and I’m a tiny little girl with a whole lot of love to give!

I’m a 5-pound, five-year-old Shih Tzu/Yorkie Mix, and my foster family says I’m pretty much the ultimate pocket-sized companion. I may be tiny enough to fit in your lap, but I promise I’ll fill your heart in no time.

My favorite thing in the entire world is snuggling. If you have an open lap, I’m there. A cozy blanket? Even better. A spot right beside you on the couch? That’s exactly where I want to be! I’m happiest when I’m curled up with my people, soaking up all the love and attention I can get.

But I’m not just a professional cuddler! I love going for my daily walks, and I’m a very good girl on leash. I enjoy getting out and exploring, and then I’m perfectly happy to come home and settle in for some quality couch time with you.

I’m also fully house trained, so I already know how to be a good girl in the house. I’m dog friendly, cat friendly, and kid friendly, too! I’m spayed, vaccinated, and ready to start the next chapter of my life with my forever family.

If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle, easy-going little best friend who will happily trade you kisses for a cozy lap, I think we might be a perfect match. I’m just looking for someone who will love me, snuggle me, take me on walks, and let me be your little shadow.

Could you be my forever person?
