Shih Tzu puppies and dogs in Gladstone, Oregon

If sunshine could grow fur and wag its tail, it would probably look a lot like Happy. This adorable 1-year-old Maltese/Poodle mix is 10 pounds of pure courage, joy, and fluffy white perfection. With the softest cloud-like coat you’ve ever touched and a tail that’s seemingly powered by an endless supply of happiness, Happy lives up to his name every single day. Life threw Happy a small curveball in the form of cerebellar hypoplasia, a neurological condition that makes him a little wobbly on his feet. He may occasionally tumble over or zig-zag his way across the room, but don’t tell Happy he’s different—because he certainly hasn’t noticed. His spirit is unstoppable, and he approaches every day with enthusiasm, confidence, and a permanent grin plastered across his adorable face. Look how adorable he is in his YouTube video now https://youtu.be/EcgM3FGzCjQ?si=N-fPFB3EQeMzrBXJ Happy loves making friends and currently lives with two large dogs that he enjoys playing with, as well as several cats. He has never met a toy he didn’t like and is a champion self-entertainer, happily zooming around, tossing toys in the air, and creating his own fun whenever the mood strikes. When playtime is over, Happy transforms into a world-class cuddle bug. He loves being close to his people, soaking up affection, and taking cozy naps after a busy day of adventuring. He’s crate trained, though if given the choice, he’d much rather be wherever you are. Speaking of adventures, Happy is an excellent road trip companion. He rides like a pro from his dog bed in the passenger seat, carefully watching the road ahead and taking in all the sights. Curious by nature, he loves exploring new places, investigating interesting smells, and discovering what exciting things the world has to offer. Happy has that perfect balance of playful and relaxed. He’s always ready for fun, but he’s equally happy curling up beside you for some quality snuggle time. Through it all, his tail keeps wagging, his smile keeps shining, and his joyful spirit reminds everyone around him to appreciate the little things. If you’re looking for a dog who will make you laugh, melt your heart, and brighten every single day, Happy is ready to prove that being a little wobbly doesn’t stop you from living life to the fullest. After all, happiness isn’t something he feels—it’s who he is. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Meet Haruto Male DOB: June 10, 2022 Weight: 15 pounds Breed: Shih Tzu Neutered (Fixed) Vaccines: Up to Date Microchipped Healthy & Adoption-Ready Personality, Breed Info & Expectations Haruto is a silly, friendly little dog with a big personality packed into a tiny package. At 3 years old, he has the perfect combination of playful charm and adult maturity. He loves being around people and has a fun-loving spirit that brings smiles wherever he goes. Haruto enjoys attention, companionship, and being involved in everyday activities. Whether he's making you laugh with his goofy antics, following you around the house, or curling up beside you after a busy day, he thrives on spending time with his family and being part of the action. As a Shih Tzu, Haruto is likely to be affectionate, social, and people-oriented. Shih Tzus were bred to be companion dogs, and they excel at forming close bonds with their families. They enjoy being included in daily life and are happiest when they are surrounded by love and attention. Haruto would thrive in a home prepared for: Daily companionship and interaction Continued training and guidance Mental stimulation and enrichment Structure, consistency, and routine Plenty of love and affection A lifelong commitment to his emotional and physical well-being His small size and friendly personality make him an excellent companion for a variety of households. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Many rescue dogs come from uncertain beginnings and may not have had structure, socialization, or training before arriving at rescue. Because of this, most rescue dogs arrive with only basic training at best, and some may have had no formal training at all. The rescue environment itself also does not always allow for extensive one-on-one training. While we work hard to provide safety, structure, socialization, and basic guidance, adopters should expect to continue training and support after adoption. Like all rescue dogs, Haruto may need time to adjust to a new home and routine. Patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement will help him settle in and feel secure as he learns his new environment. Haruto will benefit from: Positive reinforcement training Daily structure and routine Continued socialization and exposure Exercise and mental stimulation Patience, consistency, and supervision Please remember the 3-3-3 Rule: 3 days to decompress 3 weeks to learn your routine 3 months to fully feel at home With patience, guidance, and commitment, dogs like Haruto blossom into deeply loyal lifelong companions. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Owning a dog is a lifelong commitment that includes training, daily exercise, companionship, routine veterinary care, financial responsibility, and emotional commitment throughout every stage of life. Haruto will need: Daily walks, exercise, and interaction Continued training and guidance Routine veterinary care and wellness exams Preventative care including flea, tick, and heartworm prevention Proper nutrition and weight management Regular grooming and coat maintenance Mental stimulation and enrichment A safe, stable, indoor living environment Because of his Shih Tzu coat, regular grooming and coat care will be important to keep him comfortable and healthy. Consistent veterinary care, emotional stability, proper nutrition, and daily companionship are all essential to helping Haruto thrive in his future home. Haruto is an indoor family dog and is not to be chained or left outside.

Princess & Precious are an adorable pair of mother/daughter tiny Shih Tzu mixes. Precious the Mom is 10 and scruffy, and Princess the daughter is 9 and smooth-coated. They both have brown heart-shaped patches of fur on their sides. Both are quite friendly, snuggly and cuddly, and make excellent alarm clocks/burglar alarms. Both love to eat anything you give them. Both are friendly to other dogs, and people of all ages. No idea about their opinion of cats. They both sleep on my bed, either under the covers or wrapped up in a blanket on top. Both are potty trained. They came from an older person home that was moving to an assisted living facility and not able to take the dogs. Vet care was sadly lacking at their former home, and both dogs had to have several teeth removed. Princess (the smooth-coated daughter) has a dry left eye and will need drops for that for life. These are delightful cuties who want nothing more than to love and be loved forevermore. And of course well-fed. They are fully vetted, microchipped, spayed and dental done. Their adoption fee is $420 total for both dogs. To meet this little girls please go to our website - OFOSA.ORG and fill out the Dog Adoption Application and the foster mom will get back to you to meet them.

He would love to be your little lap dog. Oreo has resource guarding issues so only an experienced pet owner or a home as an only pet would be appropriate.
