Shih Tzu Dogs Available for Adoption

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Meet Bella, a sweet senior Shih Tzu around 9 years old who is looking for a quiet, loving home to spend her golden years. Bella is mostly blind, but that doesn’t stop her from enjoying life—she gets around just fine and has a gentle, trusting spirit.

She is house trained and does well with both cats and dogs. Bella is a true little lady who isn’t asking for much—just a soft bed, a comfy spot, and a family to love her. She would be perfect for someone looking for a calm, affectionate companion.

Adopting a senior could be ideal for someone who wants a dog without the super high energy level that some puppies or young dogs may have, and more for those who would be content with a couch potato most of the time instead. Senior dogs often have a calmer, more laid back demeanor which could potentially make for an easier transition when coming into a new home too. I’m sure these girls will fit in with their new family in no time once adopted.

She is super friendly and love pets and treats! Will you be the one to give these sweet girls a chance?
