These now adorable dogs were living on the streets of Houston before they came into rescue.Murdock worships Lovie, and she adores him. As much as they love each other, they love their person just as much. This precious pair are dog and cat friendly. They have done fine around children over 5.Murdock does have a bit of a Napoleon syndrome, as he does want to be the alpha with other dogs other than Lovie. This sweet pair are both crate trained and house trained!! They are medium to low energy, so will require very low physical maintenance.They love to sleep in the bed with their person, or with each other on a bed.Whoever is lucky enough to bring these dogs into their life, will have a heartwarming experience that will definitely change their lives for the better.Name: Murdock & LovieBreed: Shih Tzu/MalteseSex: Male and FemaleAge: 6 years  (estimated)Weight: 10.0Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Negative on recent testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:Good with Children: Yes, Over 5Good with Dogs: YesGood with Cats: YesAdoption Fee: $550.00  (includes transport fee when applicable)Location of dog currently:  Texarkana Tx IMPORTANT INFORMATION - Paws New England is a foster-based rescue - our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south and New England.  Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher.
