Poodle and Shih Tzu Dogs Available for Adoption in Lisbon, Iowa

Meet Edison and Piper, a bonded duo who have made it very clear they are a package deal.

Edison is a 14-month-old, 12-pound Poodle mix (with strong “probably a ShiPoo” vibes, according to our groomer), and Piper, his 4-month-old protégé weighing in at 9 pounds. Edison is fully grown, and Piper is expected to stay under 20 pounds… though she’s currently focused on growing into her role as Edison’s full-time shadow.

They came into rescue when their previous family moved and couldn’t take them along. It’s been a big adjustment, and both are still a bit shy as they learn that the world can be a safe, kind place. The good news? They’re not figuring it out alone.

Edison is Piper’s compass. Piper is Edison’s biggest fan. Together, they are a tiny, fluffy follow-the-leader operation. They eat together, sleep together, play together, and navigate new experiences side by side. If one takes a step forward, the other is right there, like a built-in confidence boost with four extra paws.
Edison is housetrained and Piper has decided that whatever Edison does is clearly the correct life choice. Outside? She’s already on it. Learning curve? She’ll just trail behind him and take notes.

Both dogs do well with other dogs and would thrive in a calm, patient home that will give them the time and space they need to continue building confidence. A physically fenced yard is important for them, offering a safe place to explore, practice bravery, and perfect their synchronized “tiny parade of two.”

Edison and Piper aren’t interested in going their separate ways. They rely on each other for comfort and courage, and their bond is the heart of who they are.
If you’re the kind of person who understands that some stories are meant to be told in pairs, Edison and Piper are ready to write their next chapter with you. Expect twice the sweetness, twice the snuggles, and a loyal little duo always just a step behind.

Edison is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm tested and microchipped. Piper is spayed up to date on vaccinations and microchipped.
