Shih Tzu

Details

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained,

Story

Meet Presley! At just three years old, Presley was found homeless, wandering the streets of a rural Tennessee neighborhood northwest of Nashville. His fur was so severely matted and tangled that the animal control officer struggled to safely capture him. (Video footage and photo number 4 show the heartbreaking condition he was in.) Presley was in so much discomfort he could barely move. His mats were so extensive the officer couldn’t even determine his gender. After sedation, Presley was gently shaved, and Mr. Randy painstakingly removed every tangle. When he woke up, Presley was like a new dog! He ran joyfully up and down the hall, then rushed to find Mr. Randy, who had saved him, expressing his gratitude with happy tail wags and affectionate rubs. The once-scared, nameless pup was now a handsome, happy Presley. Presley is a 3-year-old, 19-pound Shih Tzu with a loving heart. He adores being close to his foster mom and follows her everywhere. Presley gets along well with his canine foster siblings—their favorite pastime is playing and running together in the fenced yard. He’s also perfectly content entertaining himself with a game of toss-the-toy. Presley is a wonderful companion, but he can’t resist chasing cats, so his forever home should be feline-free. Presley will make a delightful addition to your home. He’s a quick learner—he’s mastered the doggie door and is fully housebroken. While Presley will use a crate if needed, he much prefers being out with his family. Presley would thrive with an active family who enjoys walks and adventures. To learn more about welcoming Presley into your home, please email Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com or text 615-943-7311. An approved application and adoption fee are required. Presley is currently in Tennessee and can be transported north after adoption.August 23, 2026, 9:52 pm

Story

Rocco is an approx 10 year old Shih Tzu boy looking for his furever family! This handsome boy Rocco is a quiet, gentle soul who loves nothing more than a soft bed and a peaceful nap - he will happily snooze the day away. He is incredibly well-mannered, making him the perfect calm company. He loves long walks and car rides too. He prefers all four paws on the ground when interacting. He can be a bit sensitive when being picked up, so he needs a patient owner who goes at his pace. He is dog friendly and living with other dogs in his foster home, but would do best in a home without small children. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped and had a dental. If you're looking for a quiet, sweet, low-key buddy who will be your loyal shadow, he is your guy.He doesn't ask for much - just a warm bed, a quiet home, and someone to love him. https://peytonsplaceanimalrescue.org/adoption-application/ ##2818953##
