Shih Tzu Dogs Available for Adoption in Peyton, Colorado

Meet Secret, a sweet 9-year-old Shih Tzu weighing just 12 pounds. Secret can be a little shy when first meeting new people, but with a little patience and kindness, her friendly personality begins to shine through.

Secret gets along well with other dogs and does very well in play group. She enjoys the company of canine friends and may do best in a home with another dog to help her feel safe, comfortable, and secure as she settles into her new environment.

Because compatibility is important, a meet and greet at the shelter is required with any potential canine housemates to make sure it is a good fit for everyone involved.

Secret is looking for a calm and loving home where she can continue building confidence and enjoy companionship, comfort, and affection.

Before being rescued, many of our dogs had limited socialization, so they may need some time to adjust to life as a family pet. Older kids are often a great fit for our dogs, and homes with younger children will be considered based on each dog's individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may take a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of these dogs adapt quite quickly. Being a part of their rehabilitation is a truly rewarding experience. To learn more about mill dogs and start the adoption process, visit our website!
