Meet Sprinkles, a sweet 2-year-old Shih Tzu looking for her forever home.

Despite her sheltered upbringing, Sprinkles is incredibly friendly and craves human affection. She only wants to be held, cuddled, and feel safe. Sprinkles would thrive in a quiet home where she can be a constant companion to someone who understands her need for comfort and security.

Story
Missy is a female Shih Tzu puppy.Missy is a spirited young pup with agility that impresses. She showcases this by jumping over gates and squeezing into unexpected places. Her foster thinks she is part cat, as her small stature doesn't deter her from having an adventure. A fun seeker, Missy would do well with some dog companions. Missy is curious about the world and has perfected the art of asking for belly rubs. Missy enjoys hard chews, being on your lap, and lots of pats. She is social and loves getting compliments on her wild hair style. She would rather be around her people at most times. Missy will absolutely be the first to climb into your lap for petting. She will mold to your body to reach you to give you maximum kisses (and her dog friends). She likes attention from kids as well.Missy is still young and learning. She loves to sit with the other dogs in the sun. She also will bow play and chase with the other playful dogs. Missy has a favorite person and favorite dog but is very social with groups of people or multiple dogs. She would love a home with other playful dog(s) who will also cuddle with her and someone who is home most of the day. She has one eye she cannot see out of but that does not slow her down. She is fairly well house trained and will use a wee wee pad as well. Missy is learning how to love her crateTo apply for this pet on Adopets, click the Adopt Me button below their profile picture.

Story
I adopted Milton from Bleus K 9. Milton is 6 years old. Want Milton to be safe and loved and taken care of like I would. He is a sweet and lovable dog. He needs attention. He loves everybody and he greets everybody that comes to the house. He would be good if he was the only dog. I think he has anxiety when he is left alone home by himself. He is pee pee pad trained and I do walk him like 3 times a day but he will use the pee pee pad, He is very cute and handsome. You see I have a Tea cup shi tzu and he is small and I can not leave him alone with my Shi Tzu. He love the attention. It is all about him. But otherwise he is a good dog.

Oscar

Shih Tzu Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 8 yrs 7 mos
Middletown, NY
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
First he's sour, then he's sweet. Much like a sour patch kid, Oscar is the definition of a rascal. The 13-pound, 7-year-old pup was surrendered to Pets Alive because he has one issue: He's a biter! While someone attempted to adopt Oscar recently, he just wasn't having it. So alas, this boy is back at the shelter, and we're working on training to determine his triggers. Given his selective attitude, Oscar is best suited for a dog-savvy home without children.
