Hello humans, I’m a 4-year-old, 15 lb Shih Tzu named Parker and I’m looking for some new digs. I am a practical dog with a medium energy level and was living in San Antonio when my owner passed away at home. It was confusing, to say the least, and I was hungry and desperate for grooming. Thankfully I managed to get outside and make myself known so a dog rescue picked me up, placed me in a foster home, and look at me now. I’m groomed, vaccinated, neutered, chipped, and ready to start over again with brand new people to love me. My foster mom says I have a go-with-the-flow personality and am friendly with people after I get over some initial shyness. I can be choosy with my dog friends, a bit indifferent towards some, and not really playful with others, but I do have lots of fun playing with whiffle balls and other squeaky toys. I’m affectionate and loyal and enjoy spending time with my people. I’m housebroken and know how to live nicely in a home, and enjoy going on walks. I and I’m loveable. East Coast families, inquire about me today, and let's get this party started!
* 4 Little Paws is based in CT. We adopt in many different states along the East Coast. Transport costs are included in the adoption fee. If you are located outside the states we typically adopt to, we have options to get the dog of your dreams to your location.

Please DO NOT apply unless the entire family / household is on board with adopting one of our dogs. We must receive an application for you to move forward in the process. Thoughtful direct emails are welcome and will be answered. However, an application is still a necessary step. We want to make sure we find our dogs a perfect fit with a family so both the dog and the family are happy. We keep our dogs with fosters once we get them out of shelters for a little bit to learn and understand their personalities. Our relationship with families doesn't stop at adoption! We are always available for any follow up questions and are happy to be a resource as you and your new pet settle into a routine.
