Cairn Terrier and Shih Tzu Dogs Available for Adoption

Hi there… my name is Hashbrown. 🤍

Before we go any further, I should probably tell you about the smile.
Yes… that one.
The glorious, can’t-miss, slightly crooked, absolutely perfect underbite.
It’s not an accident — it’s my signature. And once you see it, I promise you’ll never forget me.

I’m a 1½-year-old Cairn terrier mix, about 11 pounds, and I wake up every day ready to love the world. Truly. There is no such thing as a stranger to me. Dogs? Love them. Kids? Adore them. Cats? Besties. Chickens? Respectfully admired. If you exist… I already like you.

I’m neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and healthy, but the thing I want most isn’t found in a medical chart.
It’s found in a family…
a lap…
a warm voice…
a safe place to rest my head.

I am from Southern California and live with my foster family in Vancouver, BC and can travel to Washington or Oregon if there is a potential adopter for me. My adoption fee is $800USD

Here is my story:

I had a tough start and survived distemper, which left me with a little tic around my eyebrows and neck sometimes. It’s just part of me now — it doesn’t hurt, and it doesn’t stop me from living a full, joyful life. I’m healthy, strong, and ready for my forever home.

My heart is just as big as my smile. I’m affectionate, social, and happiest when I’m close to my people. I’ll follow you from room to room, sit proudly by your side, and look up at you like you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me — because to me, you are.

I’m easygoing and adaptable, the kind of pup who fits right into your life instead of turning it upside down. Want an adventure buddy? I’m in. Running errands? I’ll tag along. Quiet night at home? I’ll happily soak up every bit of attention you’re willing to give.

All I really want is a forever home — a place where my goofy smile is loved, my gentle heart is cherished, and I never have to wonder where I belong again. I promise to bring laughter, warmth, and unconditional love into your life… plus daily reminders that perfection sometimes comes with an underbite.

So if you’re looking for a dog with a one-of-a-kind smile, a joyful spirit, and enough love to fill your entire home…
I’m right here.
Grinning already. 🐶🤍

Love always,
Hashbrown
