In the shelter’s words

Meet Maryland: 11 Pounds of Charm, Cuddles & a Few Opinions Maryland is a 5-year-old, 11-pound, Shih Tzu with a sweet, laid-back personality, a little sass, and some very reasonable expectations for her forever home. Personal space? Overrated. Maryland loves being close to her people and would happily spend her days as your little shadow. Working from home? Retired? Perfect! She's looking for someone who enjoys having a constant companion. She also appreciates the company of another dog friend when her humans are busy. Exercise? Maryland loves exploring a fenced backyard, playing with her toys, and taking short, leisurely walks where she can stop and investigate all the neighborhood gossip. If you're looking for someone to help you rack up miles at record speed, you'll need to find a buddy with longer legs. House training? Maryland does best with regular potty breaks and a consistent schedule. She's looking for someone patient who understands that a lady appreciates a predictable routine. Crates? No, thank you. Maryland prefers the company of her people or a canine companion over spending time alone in a crate. She's much more interested in being part of the family than watching life happen from the sidelines. Maryland isn't looking for a particularly exciting life. Just a cozy home, a little playtime, a yard to explore, and someone who doesn't mind having an adorable 11-pound shadow. In return, she'll offer plenty of love, companionship, and just enough personality to keep you smiling. Applications are now being accepted. Maryland will be reviewing them from foster mom's pillow.
