Hapoo, Shih Tzu and Maltese mix
Hapoo is a male Shih Tzu and Maltese puppy being kept at One Planet Rescue.
Hapoo plays well with others — he'll get along great with your children, dogs or cats. His vaccinations are up to date. Have no fear: he is already house-trained.
Here's what Hapoo's friends at One Planet Rescue think of him:
Are you looking for an adorable new friend who likes long slow walks on the beach? A good listener who always has a smile on his face? Introducing Hapoo! This sweet 8-year-old Shih Tzu mix was found homeless and neglected, living in a parking garage. A group of concerned animal lovers banded together to reach out to One Planet Rescue for help. Though he's only middle-aged and has plenty of life to live, Hapoo's years of neglect show up in his current state: he's near-sighted, mostly deaf, missing teeth, and takes meds for his kidneys, thyroid and heart. But Hapoo's shining personality makes up for all of that! He's perfectly house trained, good with all people and dogs, and only ever barks at cats when he wants to play. Hapoo is looking for a loving forever family to stand up and show him that his precious life matters. Could that be you? He's guaranteed to put a smile on your face every day and repay you with years of unconditional love!
