Snowy - Chihuahua and Shih Tzu Dog for Adoption in Ruskin, Florida

Snowy arrived at our shelter on 8/22/2026. She came with her mother and two siblings. She is about 3 months old. She is the smallest of the litter and has more Chihuahua features than her mother and siblings. She also seems the most timid but she has come out of shell very well in a short amount of time. Due to her size we would prefer to have her go to home without very young children.

She has been vaccinated and is ready to go. Come by to see her Tues-Sat; 10-2:30 All adoption application will need to be submitted and approved before she can leave our shelter.
