Hello, I am a sweet little senior male Shih Tzu named Marley. I am about 12 years old, weigh 12 lbs, I have cataracts, and see mostly shadows, and I’m missing some teeth and the tip of my tongue sticks out, but I’m an easygoing gentleman, and friendly with everyone. I was a wreck and feeling pretty miserable when the San Antonio City Animal Shelter picked me up off the street. I was so badly matted they had to give me a full shave down, and underneath all that hair was the most handsome little man! These days my soft and silky tan and white coat is growing back nicely, I’m feeling great, and now I’m ready to find a loving forever home.
Besides being sweet and mannerly, and friendly with everyone, I tend to be a couch potato, but I do enjoy exploring my surroundings even if I bump into stuff. I co-exist nicely with canine companions, and maybe cats if I ever meet one, but my playful days are behind me. I’m more about relaxing, being affectionate and sharing little kisses on your hand, snacking on my favorite cheese, and going for a walk if you want to. I’m crate-trained, housebroken, well-behaved, and I rarely bark. I’m easy to love and easy to live with and would like to spend my golden years being loved and well cared for. I have gobs of love to give and will be the best little companion anyone could ask for. I hear the Eastern Seaboard is the place to be, so inquire about me today!
* 4 Little Paws is based in CT. We adopt in many different states along the East Coast. Transport costs are included in the adoption fee. If you are located outside the states we typically adopt to, we have options to get the dog of your dreams to your location.

Please DO NOT apply unless the entire family / household is on board with adopting one of our dogs. We must receive an application for you to move forward in the process. Thoughtful direct emails are welcome and will be answered. However, an application is still a necessary step. We want to make sure we find our dogs a perfect fit with a family so both the dog and the family are happy. We keep our dogs with fosters once we get them out of shelters for a little bit to learn and understand their personalities. Our relationship with families doesn't stop at adoption! We are always available for any follow up questions and are happy to be a resource as you and your new pet settle into a routine.
