Story
Meet Sophie and Lizzie, two beautiful senior Shih Tzus who will instantly capture your heart. These inseparable sisters have spent most of their lives together and are now searching for a loving forever home as a bonded pair. At 10 and 12 years old, Sophie is a striking black-and-white girl weighing about 12 lbs, while Lizzie is a petite gray lady at just 8 lbs. Both are gentle souls with so much love to give. Sophie and Lizzie came into rescue only because their previous owners faced overwhelming health challenges and could no longer provide the care these girls deserve. Sophie is a classic independent Shih Tzu who enjoys having things her way. She loves being spoiled and is currently using all her charm to convince her foster mom that she deserves extra special treatment. Despite her independent streak, Sophie is very attached to her older sister, Lizzie, formerly known as Princess Lizzie, truly lives up to her royal title. One look into her soft, soulful eyes, and you can’t help but melt. While Lizzie isn’t as dependent on Sophie, both girls are closely bonded and always like to know where the other is. Now on a regular schedule, both girls are housebroken and crate trained. They sleep soundly through the night and know exactly when it’s bedtime, rising around the same time each morning. They’ve easily adapted to their foster mom’s work routine and can be left loose in the house without any accidents. Both girls are healthy for their age, though they do experience occasional Shih Tzu skin issues and ear infections. They thrive on a limited-ingredient dry and canned diet with no chicken, which has made a noticeable difference. However, they may require periodic medication to keep them comfortable. Sophie and Lizzie are two affectionate little love bugs who would make a wonderful addition to the right home. They walk well on a leash, are comfortable around older children, and prefer a calm, quiet environment. Both girls ride nicely in the car and enjoy stroller outings. Regular grooming is essential, so please keep that in mind. To learn more about these lovely ladies, please email or text Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com or 615-943-7311. An approved application and adoption are required. March 31, 2026, 4:37 pm
