About Maz

Meet Maz, the Tiny Supervisor with soulful eyes. This lovely Shih Tzu is about 8 years old and weighs 13 lbs. After a challenging start as a puppy mill dog, she’s finding joy in the little things—soft beds, sunny yards, and people who adore her. Maz has embraced a peaceful life filled with cozy moments. Picture her as the quietly observant retiree who watches the world from her plush dog bed. She loves to curl up beside you, follow you around with curiosity, and supervise your chores, all while maintaining an air of dignified independence. This sweet girl is friendly with men, women, respectful children, and other pets. She is house trained if kept on a routine and rarely barks, making her a truly easy companion. Maz is good with both dogs and cats and gets along well with children. Although she enjoys having canine roommates, she's perfectly fine being the solo supervisor of her household. Maz thrives on routine and is currently adapting to the household life she missed out on. She knows simple commands like "outside" and "up," which she feels are sufficient for her leisurely lifestyle. With her summer haircut, she might look a little bare, but come fall, her luscious locks will return, bringing back her glamorous side. Maz only has three teeth, so her diet consists of five turkey patties from Smallbatch each day. She's up to date on all veterinary care and doesn’t require any medications. All she truly wants is a warm, soft bed, a cozy couch, and someone to shower her with love. After everything she's been through, Maz deserves to spend her golden years living in comfort and being adored. Ready to make Maz's dreams come true? Click apply to start the adoption process.
