Hi, I’m Shiny!I’m a 9-month-old Shih Tzu with a big heart and an even bigger love for life. My story hasn’t always been sunshine and rainbows. I was rescued from a very sad situation where my previous owner kept me in a crate all day, every day and if cried, well, i would get a beating! I was just a tiny pup—only 5 weeks old when they got me—and I thought that crate was my whole world. But then, a kind and wonderful lady heard my story and came to my rescue. She showed me what freedom and love feel like, and now I can’t stop wagging my tail!
Despite my rough start, I’ve blossomed into a happy-go-lucky girl who adores humans. I love attention and cuddles, and I’m always up for some fun playtime with my furry friends. I get along well with other dogs, but I’ve never met a cat before, so I’m not sure what I’d think about them. Grooming is no problem for me—I’m a good girl when it comes to brushing my teeth, trimming my nails, and keeping my hair looking shiny and beautiful (pun intended!).
I’m looking for my forever family—a special someone (or someones) who will love me as much as I love them. If you’re looking for a fun, loving, and loyal companion, I’m your girl. One look at my sweet face, and I know you’ll fall head over heels!Let’s make some amazing memories together—what do you say?

Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue.
Please Note: LALDR highly encourages adopters to research some local dog trainers before their dog arrives. Although a 1-on-1 trainer is often not needed, it is good to have someone in mind in case any problematic behaviours arise. Most bad behaviours can be modified if caught early enough, so make sure to nip undesirable behaviours in the bud before they become serious problems.
Basic training should be taken seriously, but should not begin until your dog is well settled in - at least a couple of weeks. After you feel your new dog is relaxed and comfortable in their new home, check out training courses in your local area. Even basic beginner courses like those taught at a local pet store can have a huge benefit in helping your dog learn to socialize and get used to being in public situations, all with the added benefit of strengthening their bond with you.
The age and breed of a dog is usually an educated guess, so we are not able to guarantee the accuracy of age or breed of our dogs.
Information included in the profile is provided to us from the international rescuer or local fosters. LALDR does not have access to overseas dogs and cannot always verify the accuracy of their descriptions. Every dog is an individual and can act differently in different situations based on the person adopting them and the environment in which they live.
Normally, we will not approve adoptions to homes with children under 12 years of age. However if a dog has been determined to be good with children we will approve applicants with children 8 years or older. More information can be found on our website.
