Kane - Shih Tzu and Pug Dog for Adoption in Horn Lake, Mississippi

Meet Kane: Kane is about a 5 year old (as of August 2026) Shih Tzu / pug mix (best guess) that weighs about 10 pounds. Kane was surrendered to a northern Mississippi shelter by his owner. Kane was terribly matted and wasn't terribly fond of being touched when he was dropped off. Our guess is the owner didn't want to pay for a grooming and preferred to surrender him instead and he was very uncomfortable. Kane is currently being fostered in the south and would love to take the freedom ride north to Pennsylvania to meet more prospective families. Kane went to a groomer immediately and is now all cleaned up and comfortable. Once Kane was groomed and situated, he turned into a very affectionate little lap dog that is not the least bit reluctant to being touched or petted or even staying put for the groomer. Kane is a wonderful little dog that gets along with everyone and every dog. Kane will need grooming throughout his life and we want to be sure his new family understands that so he doesn't endure the discomfort he went through in the past. Kane is currently house trained to a doggie door and may need patience while learning a new process. We would love for Kane to have a home with a fenced in yard so he can run and play freely, but it is not a requirement. Kane is up to date on his shots and neutered.
