Shih Tzu Dogs Available for Adoption in Edgewood, Maryland

Leo is a sweet little man who loves to cuddle and play. He was surrendered to us as his previous guardian’s declining health meant they could no longer care for him. He loves to give kisses, play fetch with soft toys, and is always ready to relax. Leo is an easy-going guy who gets along great with other dogs and all people. He also enjoys his time to sniff outside as at his previous home, he wasn’t walked very often. He is a shih-tzu which means he will need regular grooming for life to keep him looking and feeling his best. Leo is housebroken and great on leash. He is an affectionate dog that will force anyone to love him as soon as they look into his big puppy-dog eyes! Leo is a little over 5 years old as of 5/14/2026.
