JAYCE's foster mom has shared an update on our adorable little cruiser guy, and the details may help you to decide that his presence in your life is EXACTLY what you need. Besides his identity as a lovable lap fido, JAYCE is housebroken, great with other dogs, and sleeps through the night. He's a very gentle gentleman!


Meet JAYCE, our mature adult Shih Tzu blend buddy. As a Philly fido, JAYCE bleeds green and will joyfully occupy his spot beside you on the couch for every Eagles game. But he's also an all-around guy who will trot contentedly beside the stroller on your daily walks or happily spectate from the sidelines of youth soccer. He loves to catch the sunshine, follow his people around the house or yard, and find a comfy lap to enjoy hugs. This boy is not only beautiful but sweet as pie!!

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

The Shih Tzu is a small, affectionate dog breed known for its distinctive appearance, with a luxurious double coat, a short muzzle, and large round eyes.

With their low shedding coat and adorable face, Shih Tzus are popular among dog lovers worldwide.
