Shih Tzu Dogs Available for Adoption in Alafaya, Florida

AN INQUIRY FROM PETFINDER IS NOT AN APPLICATION! READ THE ENTIRE POST FOR INFORMATION HOW TO APPLY.

Meet Lenny! Lenny is a 2 month old male shih tzu mix and he weighs about 4 pounds. Lenny is still a growing puppy and we do expect him to get larger. Lenny arrived in rescue after being from an accidental litter. He has been thriving in foster care, but is ready to find a family that is up for all of the puppy challenges, such as leash training, house training, continued socialization and learning what to chew and not chew. His foster mom says: If you’re looking for a puppy with equal parts personality, playfulness, and snuggles, Lenny is ready to steal your heart. This adorable Shih Tzu mix loves to romp around with his puppy pals and isn’t afraid to get rowdy during playtime, so he’d do best with dogs that can match his energy rather than older, laid-back pups. Lenny is still learning the ropes of housetraining and will need regular trips outside along with patience and routine to help him succeed. He’s a very affectionate little guy who loves attention and isn’t shy about using his voice to ask for it! Because he tends to stay close — very close — to his humans while moving around, a home without seniors or toddlers would be ideal. Lenny is the perfect match for someone who wants a lively, cuddly companion and is ready for all the fun (and chaos) that comes with puppyhood.

Lenny is neutered, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heartworm prevention and microchipped.

Lenny is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $525. If you are interested in applying to adopt Lenny, please visit www.floridalittledogrescue.com to read the adoption process and complete an application! Please note that emails simply asking "Is this dog available" will not be returned, as applications are worked in the order received and availability largely depends on when you apply:) Please also know we do not adopt out of state! Thank you!
