Shih Tzu Dogs Available for Adoption in North Haven, Connecticut

Meet Alfred! Alfred is a 5-year-old Shih Tzu with a heart full of love and a tail that’s ready to wag his way right into your home. He came to The Animal Haven when his previous owner could no longer care for him, and while that change was tough, Alfred has stayed sweet, social, and so eager to be someone’s loyal little sidekick.

Alfred is the kind of companion pup who truly doesn’t ask for much—just a brisk walk to stretch his legs, some cozy quality time, and a person who enjoys having a happy little shadow nearby. He has a friendly, easygoing temperament and is happiest when he’s included in the day-to-day—whether that means a walk around the neighborhood, lounging near you while you relax, or soaking up attention and affection.

He also seems to do well with other dogs and cats, making him a great option for many types of homes. For families, we recommend kids ages 10+ so Alfred can feel comfortable and confident as he settles in.

Alfred is ready for his forever chapter—the final one, the best one. Could you be the person he’s been waiting for? If you’re looking for a cheerful companion who will brighten your days, Alfred might just be your perfect match.
