Story
Bosier is a darling little Shih Tzu puppy with a personality that’s equal parts sweet, snuggly, and spunky. This amazing little guy might be a bit hesitant if you reach right for him, but the moment you get down on his level, he’s all in—trotting over to climb into your lap for cuddles like he’s known you forever.
Bosier has that perfect puppy balance—he loves to play, chase his toys, and show off his impressive fetch skills (seriously, he’ll retrieve like a pro and bring the ball right back every time!), but he’s just as happy curling up beside you, in your lap, or in his cozy bed for a nap. At night, he’s a total dream, sleeping soundly in bed with his people—usually perched on a pillow where he can catch a little breeze from the fan.
He’s already off to a fantastic start with his potty training. Bosier is very consistent with potty pads and also goes outside first thing in the morning and after playtime. Like any puppy, he’s still learning to let you know when he needs to go out, but he’s doing so well and picking things up quickly. He eats and drinks great (though he can get a little distracted—there are toys to play with, after all!), and does best when he has a calm space to finish his meals.
Bosier is respectful, gentle, and gets along beautifully with other dogs. He takes correction well and only needed one reminder about giving other pups space during mealtime. He can live with cats too—he might be curious if they run, but once he gets close, he just wants to sniff and say hello. He hasn’t been around very young kids yet, but he’s friendly and responsive, so with guidance, he should do just fine. He may get a little excited and jump, but with his tiny legs and eagerness to learn, it’s easily manageable.
He rides great in the car, does wonderfully during bath time, and is overall a pretty quiet pup—he doesn’t bark much, but will give you a little alert when someone comes through the front door.
Bosier absolutely adores people and will happily nap wherever his humans are—on the couch, in his bed nearby, or curled up right next to you. While he loves his brother, he’s also perfectly comfortable doing his own thing and settling in independently.
This sweet boy truly is something special. So many of the typical puppy challenges have already been worked through, making Bosier an absolute dream for someone ready to welcome a loving, playful, and cuddly companion into their life.

A Quick but Important Note to All Adopters:
Please remember that none of our dogs arrive fully trained. Most come from tough or uncertain beginnings and may have never lived in a home or known basic routines. That means:
✧ They are not potty trained on arrival. Most dogs regress in potty training when moving to a new environment.
✧ They may lack basic manners (like leash walking or appropriate chewing).
✧ They’re learning, growing, and doing their best—but they will need patience, structure, and compassion to succeed.
The majority of these pups have lived in the confinement of a cage or kennel run for most - if not all - of their lives. Because of this, we strongly discourage the use of crates for anything other than vehicle transport. They deserve the chance to decompress and learn what true freedom and comfort feel like.
Our amazing foster homes work hard to start these dogs on the right path, but they are rescues, not finished products. These dogs need time, consistency, and a loving home willing to meet them where they are.
Also, breed designations are our best guesses based on appearance and behavior. We can't guarantee breed, size, adult weight, or coat type.
