MEET HAYLEY AND MATEO….a pair of youngins who will steal your heart! This father and daughter are both brindle, Mateo (11 lbs) is 2 yrs old and Hayley (13 lbs) is a 1 yr old, both Shih Tzu…who originally came from a breeder (we know nothing about them) and given to “someone” who couldn’t care for them. So, she put them up on Next Door! Fortunately, for the dogs and for us, a rescue savvy Good Samaritan reached out, got them and turned them over to us. She said she wanted them to go to the best home. Rescue, especially this rescue, will find that home!

Both dogs were intact and needed everything — vaccinations, spay/neuter, hernia — the works! Then, the makeover! They came to us so matted and dirty — but our groomer worked her magic and above is the result!

Hayley is 100% puppy! When she kisses you it’s like going through a car wash! She is uber active, loves toys, loves to play and chase her dad around! We have her walking on a leash and so far her potty training skills seem to be pretty good, especially with outside access. Mateo is 100% sweetheart. He is the calmer of the two but to watch them play with each other is a sight to behold. Adorable. He seems to be getting the hang of potty training too — they are both smart and want to please! You can’t help but fall in love with them…they are such good puppies. Plus, they are relatively quiet and don’t seem to have any separation anxiety but they are bonded and love to be with each other. If separated to do a grooming or to the vet…they are fine waiting until the other comes back!

The ideal home for this wonderful pair would be a home with a yard for them to play in and exercise, practice their potty training and get some of their energy out! They are so kind and sweet we would love for them to have children (5+ years) to play with. They would be great to go with you to brunch, kids sports events and they can also stay home with each other. They are the best of all worlds — Hayley is a little crazier than her dad…but they are both 1000000% sweet. Do these two sound like they could fit into your home? Let us know!
