Shih Tzu Dogs Available for Adoption

Buttercup – 6 Months | 6.5 lbs | Shih Tzu

Buttercup is a sweet and playful 6-month-old Shih Tzu boy who loves everyone he meets - people and dogs alike. At just 6.5 lbs, he’s the perfect little companion and enjoys being held just as much as he loves to play. Buttercup came to us from local animal control as a stray and needed a full shave down after arriving very matted, so his future family should be prepared for regular grooming to keep his coat healthy.

Fostered in Alsip, IL and available to meet with approved applications. Apply to adopt at dogs4u.org
