LOUANN - SHIH TZU / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Shih Tzu / Mixed (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 650. Hi, I'm LouAnn! If you're looking for the perfect puppy, you found me. I'm a Shih Tzu mix, born approximately late May 2026, and a little over 3 pounds of pure personality. I've got typical puppy energy, so be ready to run around and play with me — but I also love to lounge on the couch and bed with my foster family for puppy naps, and I sleep all night like a champ. I'm an adventurous little explorer and love checking out every room, the backyard, and anywhere I go. I'm already a pro with potty training, car rides, and my crate. I love playing with everyone, especially my puppy sister, but I'd also do just fine as an only dog. I haven't been around young children or cats yet, so if your family has kids, I'd do best with respectful kids ages 8 and up who understand I'm a tiny girl who can get hurt easily. I also need a family who's home much of the day, since I'm still little and need lots of care and company. If you think you can handle all this cuteness, fill out an adoption application — I can't wait to meet my new family! 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 be in touch! The adoption fee of $650 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm, and any other necessary medical treatment to ensure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe the 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.
