Mossie
Maltese x Shih Tzu
Mossie is a 5 and a half year old Maltese x Shih Tzu who came into rescue after his owner could no longer care for him due to health issues. He is a quirky, clever and loyal small dog who enjoys affection once he has had a moment to assess new people. Mossie gets on well with other dogs and would ideally like a canine companion in his new home.
In the care of West Cork Animal Welfare Group, Cork.
