Shih Tzu Dogs Available for Adoption

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Jax is very shy and needs a patient person or couple that is willing to bring him out of his shell. Having been owned by a single person, he is not used to chaos and chooses to hide when it arises. He probably would do well in a home with no young dogs or kids for this reason. He retreats to hide in his crate, corner or anywhere he feels safe, even when outside if he senses uncertainty. He loves to be petted and will fall asleep next to you if you pet him. He is lovable. He would love to be an only dog or would be okay with an older dog that didn’t require his attention. I don’t believe he would bother a cat, although, it had not been tested.
