Shih Tzu puppies and dogs in Washington

Meet Pretty! Pretty is an almost 1 year old Shih Tzu / Havanese mix. She was bottle-fed and it shows in the best (and wildest) ways. Pretty is extremely social and absolutely convinced that every person and every dog on earth is her best friend. She loves people of all ages and thrives on being right in the middle of whatever is happening. Privacy? Never heard of her. ,She adores other dogs and must have a confident, playful companion dog in the home, ideally one who enjoys being parkour equipment. She is way too energetic for a senior person or senior dog and will happily bounce off furniture, walls, and occasionally your dignity. Her zoomies are legendary: not quick one-minute bursts, but full half-hour cardio sessions. True to her breed, Pretty does bark at people she sees but it is less of a "get off my lawn" and more of a "GET OVER HERE AND PLAY WITH ME". Cats, however, are a different story. After being slapped by one, she decided to hold a lifelong grudge and is now a committed cat chaser.  She is athletic, nosey, and always where the action is. She also loves mud like it's a lifestyle choice, so her future family should expect regular grooming to keep her mat-free and clean. Party girl energy, spa-day maintenance. Pretty has an oversized tongue, a tiny jaw, and malformed or missing teeth, which means her tongue is always out and somehow always adorable. Annual dental and oral checkups will be important, as dental disease could be a concern down the road. Her biggest flaw? A complete lack of survival instincts. Pretty fully expects you to catch her when she launches herself into a trust fall or trust leap. She operates under the unshakable belief that the world is safe, everyone loves her, and gravity is optional. She's never met a stranger in her life. If you are looking for a fearless, chaotic, affectionate little rock star who lives life at full volume, Pretty is ready to steal the spotlight (and your heart).  Pretty is vaccinated, spayed and chipped. Her adoption fee is $450 We cover the medical to prepare the pet for adoption and the adopt donations go directly to cover those costs and range from $295-$495.  Thank you for stepping up to save a life! To expedite to meet with this dog, please go to our site at www.savinggreatanimals.org and fill out an application. We look at the first applications to arrive, so we hope to hear from you soon!

Peter Cottontail is a 13-lb pocket gentleman with main-character energy and zero interest in drama. He’s estimated around 5 years old (birthday TBD because rescue life keeps things mysterious), and he’s possibly a Shih Tzu / wire-haired terrier mix… or maybe a rare woodland sprite who moonlights as a nap consultant. No promises on breed, but we can promise this: Peter is an absolute delight. Take a look at his unique, long-legged cuteness in action here: https://youtu.be/JrF3gcSHGJo He’s fostered in a loving home with a variety pack of dogs, and somehow he’s universally adored. Big, bold dogs? Peter’s unbothered. Small, sassy dogs? Peter’s still unbothered. He’s confident, socially savvy, and gives off “I’ve got this” vibes wherever he goes, whether he’s greeting new friends or simply wandering the yard like he’s inspecting the property lines of his kingdom. Peter is also the kind of dog who makes you wonder why everyone can’t be this easy to love. He’s crate trained, sleeps peacefully through the night, and is a total pro for grooming. Car ride? Hop in, your chauffeur awaits. New environment? Noisy and busy place? Peter handles it all with ease. He especially enjoys attention, and will happily wiggle his way into your heart while pretending he’s being cool and casual about it. On leash, he’s responsive and easy to guide, and keeps a great walking pace. With dogs, he’s calm and confident, reads social cues well, and is happy to share affection or treats without getting possessive. He’s not here to start trouble… he’s here to sniff, stroll, and look charming while doing it. Cats? Peter is sweet, curious, and respectful. He did wonderful when introduced to a house cat. He was gently interested, but easily redirected for cuddles or a sniff elsewhere. He’d likely do well with dog-savvy cats, or calm, cat-independent cats who won’t mind a tiny bunny-named roommate politely investigating their existence. Apartment friendly? Yes. Kid friendly? We can’t imagine why not. Peter’s overall vibe is confident and loving, and he’s been wonderfully easy to handle. If you’ve been searching for a small dog who’s equal parts charming houseguest, confident social butterfly, and adorable sidekick… Peter Cottontail is ready to hop straight into your life.

FOREVER HOME NEEDED Meet Anise! Anise is a 1-year-old, 11 lb Shih Tzu mix who came to us as a stray from an overcrowded shelter. This little guy is super sweet, goofy, and full of charm! Anise loves being held, carried, and enjoys sticking close to his people. He’s treat-motivated, eager to please, and always up for a walk or an adventure by your side. Whether it’s daily strolls, outings, or just tagging along with his humans, Anise is happiest when he’s included. He does great with other dogs and would love a home with another friendly pup as a full-time playmate. He could also thrive as an only dog as long as he continues to get regular socialization and doggy playdates. Anise will need adopters who are committed to keeping up with his grooming needs. He has not been tested with cats. If you’re looking for a small, affectionate companion who’s equal parts cuddly and adventurous, Anise could be your perfect match! Anise is UTD on vaccinations, microchipped, and will be neutered prior to adoption. His adoption fee is $500.
