Shih Tzu Dogs Available for Adoption in New York, New York

Arthur is a 6-year-old Shih Tzu weighing about 15 pounds, with a spirit that feels much bigger than his little body. Though he's mostly blind, you'd never know it from the way he moves through the world, with curiosity, trust, and a genuine joy for life.

Arthur greets everything as a new adventure. He explores with his nose, gently mapping out his surroundings, and even when he bumps into something, he simply recalibrates and keeps going. There's something incredibly special about the way he navigates the world, quietly brave, endlessly curious, and completely undeterred.

He absolutely loves other dogs. The moment he realizes he has a new friend nearby, his whole body lights up with excitement as he leans in to return the sniffs.

People are his favorite. As soon as Arthur senses a new human, he makes his way over and gently climbs into their lap, as if he's known them forever. Being close to his person brings him comfort, and he'll happily follow you from room to room, content just to be near.
