My name is Pudding !

Pudding is a tiny Shih Tzu puppy with a huge personality. She’s got spunk, confidence, and just enough sass to keep things interesting. She’s pretty independent and likes to explore on her own, but the second you sit down, she’s more than happy to curl up next to you for a cuddle.

She’s super curious about everything going on around her and is always ready to investigate a new sound, toy, or corner of the house. She loves to play and would do great with someone who wants a little sidekick with personality. Pudding is sweet, kind, and just wants to be your tiny best friend. Pudding sleeps in an indoor play pen and is starting to sleep through the night, but with very early wake ups! She also loves napping by your side throughout the day.

Pudding is still working on potty training. She’s a young puppy but she catches on quickly. Taking her out on a regular schedule, using positive reinforcement when she goes outside, and watching for her signals at the door will help build the habit. She is good with other dogs and cats and cars, but doesn’t have experience with kids yet. She is food motivated, Good with cats, She might bark a little at with, but will bark a little bit at cats, depending on the moment

Pudding is one of those little dogs that feels like she was meant to be someone’s best friend. She’s independent enough to explore and entertain herself, but she absolutely lights up when she gets attention. She’s playful, sweet, and so full of personality. You can already see what a wonderful companion she’s going to grow into with a little guidance and consistency.

A Quick but Important Note to All Adopters:
Please remember that none of our dogs arrive fully trained. Most come from tough or uncertain beginnings and may have never lived in a home or known basic routines. That means:

✧ They are not potty trained on arrival. Most dogs regress in potty training when moving to a new environment.

✧ They may lack basic manners (like leash walking or appropriate chewing).

✧ They’re learning, growing, and doing their best—but they will need patience, structure, and compassion to succeed.

The majority of these pups have lived in the confinement of a cage or kennel run for most - if not all - of their lives. Because of this, we strongly discourage the use of crates for anything other than vehicle transport. They deserve the chance to decompress and learn what true freedom and comfort feel like.

Our amazing foster homes work hard to start these dogs on the right path, but they are rescues, not finished products. These dogs need time, consistency, and a loving home willing to meet them where they are.

Also, breed designations are our best guesses based on appearance and behavior. We can't guarantee breed, size, adult weight, or coat type.
