Both pups love treats and aren't too picky when it comes to their meals. **Scrappy is in foster care, if you are interested in him, please complete an adopter's profile at parl.org and email Claire cshamgochian@parl.org**

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.

Story
Meet Callie, a laid-back sweetheart with a heart full of love! Rescued from a shelter where she was brought in as a stray, Callie is estimated to be around 10 years old. She’s spayed, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and on preventative care, and she recently had a dental cleaning. Although Callie is completely blind, she navigates her surroundings with amazing confidence, easily getting around her foster home and keeping up with her furry siblings. She’s very food motivated, so her foster mom feeds her separately to keep her from snacking on everyone else’s meals. Given the chance, Callie will definitely explore the trash, so keeping things out of reach is a must! Callie is mostly housebroken if taken out frequently and is fantastic about standing still for her harness. She walks beautifully on a leash, and while she will use pee pads indoors, she may occasionally “mark,” which we hope will improve now that she’s been spayed. Don’t let her age fool you—this sweet girl has a playful spirit and absolutely loves her squeaky toys! Currently located in Wheelersburg, Ohio, Callie is ready to find her forever home. If you’d like to welcome this sweet girl into your home, please apply today!

Story
If you would like to apply to take Milo home, click the link next to their picture, or Visit our website at Www.godogsgorescue.org and fill out an application! We look forward to hearing from you. Milo is a 14 month old, Lhasa Apso. He is a fun, little guy who weighs approximately 17 lbs. This adorable boy loves to play with his toys, chew his bones, and chase his favorite ball. Tug of war is also one of his favorite things to do. Milo loves being with his people friends and likes to go on walks and car rides. He's great with all the other dogs in his foster home but sometimes chases the cats. Milo is fully house trained and does well in his crate, although he sometimes tries to "guard his area" when he's in there. We are working on that. He does let you take things out of his mouth that he's not supposed to have, so overall, he is an affectionate, happy dog who will warm up to you as soon as he feels comfortable and loved. He would like a home with no small children, also would love to have a doggie friend but not a must. Milo is available for a meet and greet in CT or RI
