Shih Tzu Dogs Available for Adoption in Hagerstown, Maryland

Hello! I’m currently listed on the Humane Society’s website to help me connect with as many potential adopters as possible. Although I’m available for adoption, I’m not quite ready to go to my forever home just yet as I’m waiting on my spay. I'm relaxing in a foster home, call 301-733-2060 Option 3 to set up a meet and greet. Meet Moon! A gentle little soul with a big heart.

Moon is a 5-year-old female pup who thrives on love, patience, and companionship. She can be a bit sensitive to loud noises and startles easily, so she’ll do best in a calm, reassuring environment. Around new people, Moon may seem shy at first, but give her a little time, and she’ll slowly come out of her shell.

Once she feels safe, her sweet personality truly shines. Moon gets along wonderfully with other dogs, cats, and kids, making her a great addition to a loving home with furry or human siblings. She’s still working on her house training but is making steady progress with consistency and encouragement.

Moon is the ultimate companion dog — she doesn’t enjoy being left alone and prefers to stay close to her person, always within sight. And when she bonds with you, she really bonds. She adores being held and will happily jump up to ask for cuddles once she’s chosen you as her special human.

If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate little dog who just wants to be by your side, Moon might be your perfect match.
