Shih Tzu Dogs Available for Adoption in Tampa, Florida

PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL'S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING!

Hi... I'm Rudy

I'm a 14-year-old Shih Tzu mix and a proud little old lady with a big personality and an even bigger heart. I've been through a lot in my life, but you'd never know it by how much love I still have to give

I absolutely love being close to my people-whether that's hanging out while you work, resting near your bed, or snuggling up for some quiet time. I'm a laid-back girl who enjoys the simple things: cozy blankets, comfy beds, gentle walks, and lots of love

Now, I'll be honest... I do have a little bit of sass. I'll let you know (with a tiny grumpy growl) when I've had enough pets or don't want to be picked up. I've never nipped-I just like my boundaries respected like the classy lady I am

I'm potty trained, leash trained, and very well-behaved in the house. I get along with other dogs but mostly prefer to do my own thing-no rough play for me, please! Calm companions are best.

My dream home :

* A quiet, calm home
* Someone who is home often (I love being near my people )
* Older kids (10+) who understand my boundaries
* A cozy space filled with soft beds and blankets
* A relaxed environment where I can enjoy my golden years

I've come a long way since my rough start, and I'm finally getting the love and care I deserve. Now I'm just looking for a forever home to spend my days feeling safe, comfortable, and cherished

Love,
Rudy
