Terrier and Shih Tzu Dogs Available for Adoption in Brookeville, Maryland

Meet Ewok — the tiny scruffy survivor with the biggest heart.

Ewok was found alone as a stray in rural Texas, trying to survive on his own before finally finding safety with Pep’s Pals Rescue. Despite his difficult start to life, this sweet little boy has remained incredibly loving, gentle, and full of puppy charm.

This adorable pup is currently heartworm positive and undergoing treatment, but he is doing wonderfully and soaking up all the love and care he can get. Ewok may be small, but he is resilient, brave, and already showing everyone what a happy, loyal companion he will become.

With his fluffy “teddy bear” face, soulful eyes, and scruffy puppy hair, Ewok turns heads everywhere he goes. He loves attention, enjoys cuddling close to his people, and is learning that life can be safe and full of kindness.

Ewok is still very much a puppy and would thrive in a home that can continue guiding him as he grows. He deserves a family that will give him patience during his recovery, lots of affection, and all the love he missed out on before rescue.

Ewok is currently fostered in Texas but available for adoption and transport out of state.

His adoption fee is $350. Transport ranges from $200–$250 depending on location. Health certificates typically range from $50–$100.

Our dogs are transported to a predetermined location agreed upon by the rescue. The adoption contract and fee are finalized prior to transport.

If you’ve been searching for a tiny best friend with a huge personality and an even bigger heart, Ewok is waiting to meet you.
