Shih Tzu and Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Potomac, Maryland

The perfect little companion for someone who wants a loyal shadow by their side.

Willie is an 8-year-old, 7.8-lb Shih Tzu with a calm, loving personality and wonderful manners. He's easy on a leash, great in the car, and perfect in public. Whether it's errands, a pup cup run, or quietly visiting friends, Willie is happiest simply being near his person.

He was found alongside two other little dogs on the side of the road by a man on a motorcycle. They had clearly been surviving outside for quite some time - covered in fleas and buried beneath painfully matted coats.

Despite all of that, Willie remains incredibly sweet and trusting.

He ignores other dogs and prefers focusing on his humans. Willie is truly the definition of a perfect little old soul dog - calm, affectionate, portable, and ready to spend the rest of his life being loved.

If you're looking for a tiny companion who will happily follow you anywhere, Willie is waiting.

Willie is neutered and up-to-date on vaccines.

The adoption fee for this dog is $250 which includes routine vetting and spay/neuter.
