Adopting a Shih Tzu usually involves completing an application form, meeting the dog in person, and agreeing to any checks or requirements set by the current owner or rescue organisation. This helps ensure the Shih Tzu is matched with the right home.
Before adopting a Shih Tzu, consider the breed's exercise needs, grooming requirements, and temperament. Understanding the typical traits of a Shih Tzu can help you decide if it's the right fit for your lifestyle.
Browse the listings on this page to see Shih Tzu dogs currently available for adoption. You can filter by location to find Shih Tzus closer to you, making it easier to arrange a visit and meet the dog in person.
Many rescues and private owners charge an adoption fee. This fee often covers vaccinations, microchipping, and sometimes neutering, helping to ensure the dog is healthy and ready for a new home.
