Shih Tzu Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Sir Tashi - the sweetest little gentleman you'll ever know! ✨

Sir Tashi is a 15-lb Shih Tzu, approximately 3 years old, with a heart as soft as his cuddles. He's playful, affectionate, and truly an all-around good boy with so much love to give.

Doing great with potty training following other dogs through dog door.
Crate trained (sleeps in crate at night)
Walks beautifully on leash
Loves toys, playtime, and his foster siblings
World-class cuddle bug

Sir Tashi also has a silly, mischievous side — he's a sock, shoe, and "anything small enough to grab" thief. He doesn't chew things up, but he will happily steal items to parade around or play with them. It's more funny than destructive, but it does mean keeping small items picked up.

Sir Tashi is still learning and will need continued training. Like many Shih Tzus, he can be a bit stubborn, especially when it comes to house manners. He is making progress, but this breed does best with patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Short, fun training sessions work best for basic commands, and adopters should expect a learning curve — particularly with housebreaking.

Sir Tashi came into rescue alongside his Shih Tzu brother, Mister Tenzi (check k9ppr.org for his profile). While they are no longer fostered together and Sir Tashi will absolutely thrive independently, adopters interested in both brothers will receive a package adoption discount.

Important note: These boys were previously kept outdoors and neglected. Because of that, they will need a patient, understanding home committed to continuing basic manners and reinforcing potty habits as they settle into a new environment.

Sir Tashi (or the two of them together!) would make a wonderful addition to a loving, committed family.
Could that family be yours?
