Shih Tzu Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Louie the Shih Tzu and yeah, this little guy has seen some things.







When Louie first came to us, he was covered in scars and carrying the weight of a past that clearly wasnt easy. Hes safe now, but hes still learning that the world doesnt have to be scary.


Louie can be selective with other dogs (especially ones that arent his sibling buddies), and he does struggle with some separation anxiety but honestly? Considering what hes been through, hes doing so well. With patience, structure, and love, he really blossoms.


Unfortunately, Louies current foster needs to transition him back to boarding, and we would love to find him a new foster or even better, a forever home as soon as possible. Boarding is safe, but what Louie truly needs is a calm, consistent home where he can continue building trust and feeling secure.


In foster care, weve seen glimpses of his true self: a sweet, sensitive little survivor who just wants stability and a person to call his own. Once he feels safe, his gentle, loyal personality shines through.


Louie would do best in a patient home that understands he may need a little time to settle in. In return, youll get a devoted little companion who just wants to love and be loved.


Louies story isnt over yet but we need your help to keep it moving in the right direction. If you can foster or are interested in adopting, please reach out. Lets get this boy back into a home where he belongs.
