Shih Tzu Dogs Available for Adoption

🐾💕 Meet Our Precious Penelope! 💕🐾

Get ready to fall in love… because Penelope is just the sweetest little ray of sunshine! ☀️🐶

This 8 years, 8-month-old, 17.2-pound Shih Tzu is full of life, love, and a whole lot of fun. Don’t let her age fool you—Penelope is playful, happy, and always ready to be part of whatever you’re doing. 💖

Cooking? She’s supervising.
Watching TV? She’s your cuddle buddy.
Walking around? She’s right there with you.

Penelope is thriving in her foster home! She enjoys playing with the resident Pug, is doing great with her routine, and has shown herself to be pretty much housebroken—what a good girl! 🐾✨

Penelope came to us as a senior and recently underwent surgery where she was spayed and had a mammary tumor removed. The tumor was found to be low-grade malignant, and thankfully, the margins were clear. 💕

What this means is:
It should not return in that spot. She may develop additional mammary tumors in the future, which would need to be addressed promptly.

Right now, Penelope is feeling great and enjoying life—and she deserves a home where she will be loved, cherished, and cared for every step of the way. 💖
This sweet girl has so much love to give and is ready to be someone’s loyal little companion.

📩 If you’re interested in meeting Penelope, please submit an application on our website.

Let’s give this beautiful girl the forever home she deserves. 🐾💗
