Shih Tzu and Tibetan Spaniel Dogs Available for Adoption

Chip is a two‑year‑old little mystery mix — his mom is a Shih Tzu, and his dad clearly had some opinions because Chip looks like he may have borrowed a few features from a Tibetan Spaniel. Whatever the combo is, it worked. He’s adorable.
Chip is a gentle soul who doesn’t rush into new friendships. He likes to take his time, watch the world, and decide when he’s ready. Give him a couple of days and a little patience, and you’ll see the sweetest, softest boy come out of his shell. Once he trusts you, he’s all heart.
He gets along well with other dogs and seems to find comfort in their company. A calm, understanding home would be perfect for him — someone who isn’t in a hurry and appreciates the quiet joy of earning a shy dog’s trust.
Chip doesn’t need much. Just kindness, time, and a family who will let him bloom at his own pace. And when he does, he’s absolutely worth the wait
