Shih Tzu Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Pookie a sweet little girl who is about 3 yrs old. She is a shih tzu/bichon mix and weighs 21 lbs.

She was given up because she and her brother started fighting which many times happens when you adopt siblings. She is in a foster home now with 9 other dogs and there hasn't been any fighting.

She loves to give kisses and sit by you. She would also like to sleep with you if you would let her.
