Shih Tzu Dogs Available for Adoption

This sweet guy came to us from MCACC where he was at risk for some very treatable medical issues. Peluchin has a mild case of dry eye that will require continued management and also was diagnosed with valley fever while in the rescue (meds about $30/month). He is responding well and seems to be feeling better but does still have one lesion on his shoulder that is still healing. Peluchin could benefit for some more weight gain as he is still thinner than he should be even though he eats very well. Peluchin is 6 years old and around 12 lbs.

Peluchin has a great temperament and is friendly with people and other dogs. He does like to bark at cats but can be redirected and wants to please so is very trainable. He walks nicely on leash, is housebroken, tolerates a crate but also has very nice house manners and is just an all around very good boy according to his fosters. He also has met older kids and has done great so has good potential to live with respectful children. If you would be interested in adding Peluchin to your family he will be adoption ready by 3/20/26. Submit application HERE >>>> https://form.jotform.com/cherishedtails/dog-application
