Story

Luigi is a sweet senior Shih Tzu who’s ready to level up your life. This senior gentleman has still got plenty of extra lives left — especially when it comes to neighborhood walks and making new dog friends. He enjoys companionship (both human and canine), and he’s happiest when he’s part of the team. Whether he’s trotting along on a stroll or powering up with a cozy nap afterward, Luigi keeps things steady, cheerful, and low-drama. No boss battles here — just a loyal sidekick with a soft heart and a wagging tail. Ready to press start on your next adventure? Luigi is waiting to join your player two. Here's some notes from his foster: Luigi is a sweet boy… does great in the car and enjoys his naps! He was only with me 36 hrs but I saw him become more curious and interactive in that time. Definitely on the “chill” side! He was a bit picky with his food but enjoys chicken and cheese! He’s house trained!

Story

Sir Tashi - 3 yr old Shih Tzu gentleman looking for his person 💙Sir Tashi is a 15-lb Shih Tzu, approximately 3 years old, with a big heart and a sweet, affectionate personality. This adorable little guy loves being close to his people &#194&#151 whether that's going for a walk, playing with toys, or curling up next to you for cuddles.Sir Tashi has been doing wonderfully in foster care and is learning what it means to be a cherished indoor companion.About Sir Tashi&#194&#149 15 pounds&#194&#149 About 3 years old&#194&#149 Friendly, affectionate personality&#194&#149 Loves toys and playtime&#194&#149 Very cuddly and people-oriented&#194&#149 Gets along well with other friendly dogsSir Tashi is crate trained and sleeps quietly in his crate overnight. He is doing well with potty training and happily follows the other dogs through the dog door. He also walks nicely on leash, making him a wonderful companion for neighborhood strolls, patio lunches, or coffee outings.When meeting new people, Sir Tashi is polite and gentle. He enjoys accepting treats and soft pets from strangers and will exchange polite sniffs with other dogs, although he may be a little reserved at first.Sir Tashi also has an adorable mischievous streak &#194&#151 he loves to 'borrow' socks, shoes, or small items around the house and proudly parade around with them. He doesn't chew them... he simply thinks they're toys!Like many Shih Tzus, Sir Tashi can be a little stubborn, but he responds very well to patience, routine, and positive reinforcement. He is still learning some household manners and will need adopters who are willing to continue reinforcing potty habits and structure as he settles into his forever home.Sir Tashi bonds deeply with his people and can feel anxious when left alone. Because of this, he would do best in a home where someone is around much of the time &#194&#151 such as a work-from-home household, retirees, or a home with another calm dog.💔 Sir Tashi came into rescue with his Shih Tzu brother, Mister Tenzi, after the boys were previously kept outdoors and somewhat neglected. They are now learning the joys of indoor life and the comfort of being part of a family.Sir Tashi can absolutely thrive on his own, but adopters interested in both boys will receive a package adoption discount.Adoption Requirements&#194&#149 Another friendly dog in the home is ideal&#194&#149 Gentle, respectful children age 10+&#194&#149 Temperature-controlled indoor home (Shih Tzus are prone to overheating)&#194&#149 Short walks rather than strenuous exercise&#194&#149 Professional grooming every ~6 weeks (this breed requires regular coat care)Sir Tashi is a loving, loyal little companion who will bring joy, laughter, and plenty of snuggles to the lucky family who welcomes him home.A detailed adoption application is required. Only applications that clearly meet the criteria and provide meaningful information will be considered.At K9 Paw Print Rescue, we believe every dog is a precious soul deserving of a home that truly fits them.Apply to adopt:www.K9ppr.orgMarch 14, 2026, 1:54 am

Story

Meet Tenzi ✨Tenzi is simply gorgeous. While a fella shouldn't be judged on looks alone, it must be said&#194&#151he's quite the looker. With his soft, fluffy coat, beautiful markings, big dark eyes, and his tiny Van Dyke-style beard, he's undeniably dashing.Tenzi is a Shih Tzu, estimated to be 2-3 years old and about 14 lbs. He is gentle, playful, and affectionate, with a big love for toys&#194&#151especially balls. Blankets are his favorite treasures and will always be gathered into his bed. He enjoys both playtime and quiet cuddles on the couch.Sadly, Tenzi spent most of his life neglected and kept outdoors, which is especially inappropriate for this breed. Because of his past, he will need a patient, understanding home willing to help him continue learning basic manners and fully adjust to life as an indoor, pampered companion such a potty training which is going to take some time. ⸻🐾 Ideal Home & Requirements &#194&#149 Another dog required - he thrives with canine companionship &#194&#149 Gentle children ages 10+ &#194&#149 Indoor-only home with climate control (breed is prone to overheating) &#194&#149 Short walks only; not a high-endurance dog &#194&#149 Commitment to continued potty training & basic manners &#194&#149 Professional grooming every 6 weeks (regular brushing or kept clipped short)⸻🐶 Sibling NoteTenzi does have a Shih Tzu brother. While they are not being fostered together and it is not required that they be adopted as a pair, we would consider a slight adoption fee discount for an approved adopter interested in giving this duo a home together.⸻Tenzi's grooming was previously neglected, and his coat and ears required significant care when he arrived. This breed is not low maintenance, and adopters must be prepared to meet his ongoing grooming needs.With patience, structure, and love, Tenzi will make a devoted and affectionate companion who truly blossoms in the right home. 💛⸻📩 Adoption InfoA detailed adoption application is required. Only applications that clearly meet the criteria listed will be considered. Applications that do not reflect an understanding of Tenzi's needs or fail to share meaningful information about the applicant will not be considered.We believe every dog is a precious soul deserving of a home that truly fits them.👉 Apply at: www.k9ppr.orgMarch 9, 2026, 2:33 pm
