Shih Tzu Dogs Available for Adoption in Portland, Oregon

What my friends at OHS say about me:

I may do best with an owner who has had experience owning or caring for shy and fearful dogs.

I may be shy at first, but once we get to know each other I will shower you with love!

New places and things are a little scary to me, but I all I need is time and someone to show me it's okay.

I have been known to shower my favorite people with love.

Are you ready for me and you to be stuck like glue?


I can be sensitive to meeting new people, slow introductions and understanding my body language will be important as I gain my confidence.

I love to run around and play with my person! I am energized and ready to zoom!

I have chronic ear infections which will require long term management.

Escape Artist: I have a history of escaping doors or fences. I will need supervision when outdoors or we can go on adventures together - on leash of course!

I have chronic skin issues which will require long term management. It can be caused by different factors such as fleas, food or environmental factors.

Shy and Nervous: I can be worried about new people, new surroundings and touch. I prefer to take things at my own pace and will need to live in a calm environment.




The type of home I'm looking for:
I would prefer to go to a home without small children.
I would do best in a calm, low-traffic home.
