If you’re looking for a pint-sized cuddle buddy with a big personality, meet Tortellini! This 9 month old, 8.5 pound Shih Tzu is as delightful as her name suggests. With her fluffy, non-shedding coat, she’s a great choice for allergy-sensitive homes—or anyone who just prefers to keep their furniture fur-free. But the best part? She’s got a heart as soft as a perfectly cooked noodle and is ready to bring love, laughter, and lots of snuggles into her forever home. Tortellini’s rescue story is one for the books. We got a call from the shelter, letting us know that this sweet girl was at risk—simply because she had an upset tummy and they didn’t have the meds to help her. We immediately hit the road, driving 2.5 hours to bring her to safety. After a few days of TLC and a diet that agreed with her, she blossomed into the happy, playful, and affectionate pup she was meant to be. The shelter may have been a scary place, but Tortellini never lost her spirit, and we’re grateful they reached out so we could give her a second chance. At home, Tortellini is the perfect companion. She loves spending her days lounging around the house, keeping close to her people, and occasionally showing off her new favorite trick—fetch! While she enjoys short walks (especially if she’s sporting a cozy sweater), she’s just as happy curling up next to you on the couch. At night, she sleeps peacefully in her crate nearby, but she’s adaptable and has done well in different setups. Tortellini gets along well with other dogs and has been polite, though a little wary, around cats. She’s met teenagers and done great, and while she hasn’t had much interaction with younger children yet, she’s such a sweet and friendly pup that we expect she’ll do well with a gentle introduction. She’s also doing wonderfully with potty pad training and has been an easygoing, well-mannered guest in her foster home. If you’ve ever loved a Shih Tzu, Tortellini is everything you adore about the breed and more! She’s adaptable, affectionate, and full of charm—ready to wiggle her way into the heart of her forever family. Whether you’re looking for a snuggle buddy, a loyal companion, or just a little fluffy sidekick to brighten your days, Tortellini is ready to be your perfect match. Come meet her and see why this little pasta pup is simply irresistible!February 18, 2025, 2:03 pm
