Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu / Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 650. My name is Hattie Mae but my foster mom calls me “Sweetness”! I was born around 9/20/25 and I weigh around 2 pounds at 8 weeks old. We don’t know what breed I am or if I will shed or not. The vet thinks I’ll be around 15 pounds full grown, but that’s not a guarantee! I have 2 brothers, but I keep up with the rough and tumble play just fine. I am a quiet little girl and haven’t found my barking voice yet. I do make the cutest play grunts though when I get the puppy zoomies or I’m wrestling with my brothers. Due to my very petite size, I need to go to a home with no children or children 13 and up If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: .starfishanimalrescue/adopt/dog-adoption-application . Your application will be reviewed by our team and if it is a good fit, we will send to the foster family to set up a meet! The adoption fee of $650 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed! *please note that we are a foster home based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding.

Breed overview
Overview:
The delightful ShiChi, a charming crossbreed between the spirited Chihuahua and the affectionate Shih Tzu, originated from the desire to blend the best qualities of both parent breeds. These small companions typically inherit a varied appearance, often featuring a soft, medium-length coat that can be a range of colors, with their size generally falling between 6 to 12 pounds. Temperamentally, ShiChis are known for being playful, affectionate, and generally good-natured, making them suitable for many living situations. They adapt well to apartment living due to their compact size and moderate exercise needs, and with proper socialization, can be wonderful additions to families with older children. While generally robust, potential health considerations can include patellar luxation, eye conditions, and dental issues, inherited from their parent breeds, making regular veterinary check-ups essential for a long, happy life.
