This pet is in a foster home. Please call to schedule an appointment. Meet Sugar! Sugar is a senior Shih Tzu mix who came to us from the Stanislaus Animal Shelter.

Sugar does best in a patient, understanding home that respects her boundaries and lets her move at her own pace. As a senior, Sugar appreciates gentle handling and may be a bit nippy if she feels uncomfortable, so she would thrive with an experienced adopter who can read her cues and give her the space she needs. With the right person, Sugar can be a sweet, easygoing companion who enjoys quiet companionship and a cozy place to rest. Excited to find your new family member at Wags and Whiskers?

Story
The DNA results are in… and Riley is officially a Super Mutt Extraordinaire  Care to guess what’s in the mix? Trust me—it’s a plot twist. Drum roll, please…  A whopping 45.8% toy dog royalty! And what does that mean, you ask? Picture this: a delightful blend of Shih Tzu charm, Maltese sweetness, and Chihuahua sass. Honestly, it’s a dream team. No wonder he’s the king of calm when he’s lounging at home like a tiny, fluffy emperor  But wait, there’s more! When it’s time for adventure, his 15% terrier spirit kicks in: “Walk? Did someone say WALK?! Let’s GO!!”  Riley is the best of both worlds, equal parts couch companion and enthusiastic explorer. He might be a little shy at first, but once you earn his trust… that’s it. You’ve got a loyal best friend for life  Seriously, you just have to meet him to see the magic for yourself. Breed: ShihTzu/Maltese/Chi/Terrier mix Sex: Neutered Male Age: 1 year Size: 22 lbs Arrival Date: 1-15-26 Riley is up to date on shots, heartworm tested negative, microchipped and neutered. If you would like to meet Riley, please email ResQpaws at info@resqpaws.org or call 530-713-9079 for more information. You can fill out an application on our website,  resqpaws.org.  Under the Applications tab is the Foster Dog Adoption Application.   April 6, 2026, 12:07 am
