Marshmallow - Shih Tzu Dog for Adoption in Gainesville, Virginia

Meet Marshmallow, a sweet young guy who has already had a rough start and is ready for much better days ahead.

Marshmallow is around 1 year old and was found as a stray after reportedly being attacked by other dogs. Despite what he has been through, he is now safe with rescue and getting the chance to start over.

Marshmallow will be heading to Gainesville, Virginia on October 9 and will be ready to begin the next chapter of his life from there.

Since Marshmallow is still new to us, we are continuing to learn more about his personality, energy level, house manners, and how he does in different situations. As he settles in, we will update his profile with more information.

Marshmallow’s heartworm status is currently pending, and his profile will be updated once those results are available.

His adoption fee is $600.

Most of our dogs are rescued from high-intake shelters in Texas or directly from the streets of South Texas. The adoption fee helps cover transportation to our foster homes, age-appropriate core vaccines, deworming, microchip, heartworm testing, and other veterinary and rescue expenses.

We partner with VCA Animal Hospitals. Every adoption includes a complimentary First Exam at a participating VCA location within the first 14 days of adoption. VCA also provides limited health guarantee coverage of up to $250 for certain minor illnesses diagnosed during that initial period.

We do not guarantee the breed of any of our dogs. Breed listings are our best guess based on appearance, known history when available, and personality traits. We also cannot guarantee that any rescue dog is not mixed with pit bull.

Paws Deep Animal Rescue is a nonprofit rescue. Any excess revenue is used to care for animals with additional medical needs and allows us to continue helping dogs who may otherwise be left behind.
