Gizmo & Honey Shih Tzu Austin, TX

*** Meet me May 12 at Leander Pet Fur Fest ***

Gizmo and Honey are 6 y.o. Bonded siblings . These two precious pups are in rescue due to the health of their senior owner. They have been together since birth, loved and very well taken care of. They are in excellent health and regularly groomed every 2-4 weeks.

We will not accept applications to separate them so please do not ask. They are current on all shots, micro chipped, neutered and spayed.

Their foster family is learning more about their likes and dislikes and by the time they are ready to be adopted we will be able to tell you more about their personalities. They are experiencing shock and grief at the loss of their owner but are doing well in their foster home and are very sweet & loving. They will need time and a patient loving adopter who understands it may take them awhile to adapt to new surroundings. They are crate trained.

Their ideal adopter would be someone who works from home or who has time to help them acclimate to not having a human with them 24/7 like their previous owner. They did have a trial adoption arranged by the owner with an adopter who lived in an apartment and it did not go well which is easy to understand since they were bred to be the "palace guard dogs"! They also had a problem with outside stairs for potty breaks so we want to place them accordingly.

Adoption fee $800 for the pair.

We will initially accept applications for a minimum of 2 weeks before making a decision in our search for
a new forever home.

We are accepting applications
@www.lilpaws-malteserescue.Org.

Please do not email, this only delays processing applications. We do not adopt on a “first come” basis, we match the Adopter to the needs of the dog. Applicants approved to adopt will be contacted within 7 days. References are checked and you must reside in the Austin metro area.
Thank you for rescuing.


Adoption Fee $800

** Please note: Due to their size, our dogs are not suitable for homes with children under 5..

We do not have a facility, all dogs are fostered in the homes of our volunteers. If you are interested in adopting a dog from Lil' Paws Maltese Rescue and other Petite Paws, please visit our website at www.lilpaws-malteserescue.org and fill out an adoption application. This is the first step in our adoption process. Our goal is to place our dogs in safe, stable and loving homes in the Austin Metropolitan area. Thanks for looking!

Lil' Paws Maltese Rescue and other Petite Paws depends on donations to keep the dogs in our program healthy. Many health issues are taken care of before a dog leaves a rescue: spaying, neutering, immunizations, dental care, and in some cases major surgery. Because of the cost of this care, donations are essential to enable us to continue our work. If you would like to show appreciation for what we do and help us continue to do it please go to our website homepage and click the donate button. We thank you in advance for your support.
