Shih Tzu Dogs Available for Adoption in Arlington, Texas

Lance is a gentle 3-year-old Shih Tzu with a heart full of love and resilience. After being found wandering the streets in rough condition—severely matted and clearly having gone far too long without care—he’s now getting the second chance he truly deserves.

Despite everything he’s been through, Lance’s sweet nature has never wavered. He’s incredibly affectionate, loves being around people, and soaks up every bit of attention he can get. He does wonderfully with kids, gets along great with other dogs, and is even friendly with cats, making him a perfect fit for just about any loving home.

Now cleaned up and on the road to feeling his best, Lance is ready to leave his past behind and start a new chapter filled with comfort, safety, and love. All he needs is a family willing to open their hearts—he’ll take care of the rest.
