Story
I am 15 lbs, and I am looking for my forever home. Meet King! This adorable white-and-beige Shih Tzu may be small, but he carries himself with sweet, regal charm. Just over a year old, he’s full of playful energy, affection, and gentle manners that make him a joy to be around. King is house- and crate-trained, politely announcing potty time by waiting at the door with a soft cry. He loves walks, car rides, belly rubs, and even bath time. He’s lived happily with adults and young children, is friendly with everyone he meets, and knows “sit” and “give paw.” With only a need for hypoallergenic shampoo for his sensitive skin, this little royal is ready to rule a new home with love and loyalty. Adoption Donation: $550 All dogs are microchipped, neutered, current on all vaccines, heartworm tested (if age appropriate), and up-to-date on preventatives at the time of adoption. All household members and any dogs from the household need to be present to be able to adopt. A photo ID will be required at the time of adoption. Appointments are recommended. All applications are considered general. Specific animals are NOT put on hold for adoption. When you visit, our adoption counselors will be able to make suggestions based on the type of pet you are looking for and help you find the best fit for your family.
