Shih Tzu
Tan/Yellow/Fawn with White
Each organization sets the adoption fee for their animals. Adoption fees help cover the cost of this animal’s care as well as allowing the organization to help more animals.
She came into foster care full of puppy like energy but has shown that under that nervous energy, she is a well-mannered, sweet girl. She still has plenty of playful energy, but she now settles beautifully around the house and enjoys relaxing with both her people and her canine friends. She would still benefit from continued positive reinforcement and basic training, but she has blossomed into an incredibly easy and rewarding companion.
Because Dorthy is young, active, and enjoys having a canine friend, she would love a home with another playful dog who can match her enthusiasm. She loves all dog friendly dogs- big or small, and it’s a major bonus if they join her for zoomies!! That said, she would also do okay as an only dog if someone is home with her a lot and her family is excited to make her the center of their world.
If you’re looking for a funny, affectionate little sidekick who will keep you laughing, happily accompany you wherever you go, and then curl up in your lap at the end of the day, Dorthy is ready to steal your heart.
Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home.
