Shih Tzu Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Earl 🤍
10-year-old Maltipoo | Good with dogs, kids & cats

Earl is one of those dogs who wins hearts instantly. He has the funniest little personality and the sweetest way of connecting with his people. If you stop petting him too soon, he’ll gently nudge your hand as a reminder. When it’s time to cuddle, he patiently waits for an invitation before hopping onto your lap, curling up, and getting perfectly cozy.

He tilts his head back and forth when you talk to him like he’s truly listening—and honestly, it feels like he understands every word. Earl is very dog-social and loves saying hello to every pup he meets. He’s just as friendly with people and happily accepts pets, snuggles, and being held by anyone willing to give him some love.

Earl does great in the car, splitting his time between happily gazing out the window and relaxing in the passenger seat. He has impressive pep in his step for a 10-year-old and enjoys going on walks, but he’s just as content lounging beside his person and soaking up the moment.

This sweet senior is the total package: gentle, social, affectionate, and endlessly charming. Earl is truly an amazing little pup and would make a perfect companion for someone looking for a loving best friend.
