About Maggie - 3 Year Old Maltese X Shih Tzu
Available for adoption 18/3/26 - Maggie Shih Tzu X Maltese 3yo, 7 months
Maggie’s been the most dedicated mama dog, and now it's her turn to be absolutely spoiled in her golden years. Once she has weaned her puppies, she will be ready for adoption around 18/3/26. Her 3 pups will be available also. If you are interested in one of Maggie’s pup’s please fill in the same adoption link attention “Maggie pup”.
Maggie is a cuddle enthusiast who adores her walks and will greet you at the door with that joyful tail wag and plenty of kisses. Just like any beloved family member, she needs to be inside with you, and she’s still mastering her toilet training, so a doggy door would be perfect. She will need a secure yard, no gaps to keep her safe.
Maggie’s great with other dogs, but she’d really love a peaceful, pampered life where she can just soak up all the love and finally put her paws up.
Maggie in brief:
Worm, Flea treated, will be desexed
Dog friendly
Kid friendly

Family committed to training, walks, and play
Allowed indoors
Not tested on cats, bunnies’ birds etc
