About This Dog for Adoption

Mini's ideal home

Capri and Mini are a bonded pair of 2-year 7-month-old Shih Tzus who must be rehomed together. These sweet girls are shy and worried when meeting new people and need a calm, adult-only home where they can take their time to settle. Capri can be conflicted around food and has shown a little guarding, so they are fed separately to keep things peaceful. They are low-energy dogs who prefer a gentle pace of life and are happiest pottering around rather than going on long walks. A secure, private garden is essential to help build their confidence, support lead training, and offer a safe space to explore especially as both girls are flight risks.

Could you be Mini's perfect match?

Capri and Mini have had a very sheltered life and will need all training from scratch, including house training and lead walking. They cannot be left alone at first, and alone time must be built up very gradually. They’re not comfortable with being handled yet, so new owners must let them come forward at their own pace. With time, patience, and consistency, they’ll begin to build trust and confidence. If you have a quiet home, a secure garden, and the dedication to help two nervous little dogs grow into happy companions, Capri and Mini could be the perfect addition to your life as long as they stay together.

Shih Tzu Puppy Buying Checklist

We highly recommend every buyer reads through the below advice when purchasing or rehoming a Shih Tzu.

  • View the animal in the place it was born and raised - check for genuine home environments if buying privately, or the quality of the breeders set-up if applicable.
  • If viewing a puppy under 8 weeks, by law they MUST be seen with their mum.
  • Make sure the animal's old enough to be rehomed. 8 weeks should be the earliest a puppy can be rehomed.
  • By law, all dogs MUST be microchipped
  • Review and verify any documents, such as KC registration paperwork where applicable

Avoid Potential Scams

There are a number of red flags to look out for when purchasing a new puppy:

  • Seller demands a deposit without allowing you to see the dog first - never send any money before meeting the animal in person
  • Seller is reluctant to send you additional photos or videos
  • Seller offers to deliver the dog/puppy
  • Seller asks to meet in a mutual location
  • Seller uses fake or stolen photos from the internet. Always carry out a "Google image search".
  • Seller asks to immediately switch to communication off the Shih Tzu Owners website
  • Seller uses a different phone number to the one listed on the website - especially if that phone number is in one of the advert images

Although we have a number of automated systems in place to prevent scam and fraudulant adverts, these can never be 100% accurate and its important to use caution when buying online. We do not accept any responsibility for transactions between our users, especially when our safe buying advice is not followed.
