Shifu's Story

Meet Shifu — the wisest little Shih Tzu you’ll ever meet.<br/>Shifu knows exactly what he wants in life… and exactly how to get it. What he wants, above everything, is human companionship — 24/7, if possible. And if he’s not getting it, he’ll absolutely let you know. <br/>Shifu isn’t looking for affection from just anyone. He prefers someone who understands his rhythm and respects his boundaries. If someone is too pushy — like young kids who haven’t learned dog etiquette yet — he can be a bit snappy. The same goes for grooming: if he’s not in the mood for a haircut or nail trim, he’ll tell you! He can get a little spicy… but never too much for the right person to handle. <br/>With his staff favorites, Shifu is a total angel. They can groom him, trim his nails, and spoil him endlessly. But that’s because Shifu is the kind of guy who needs to choose you before you choose him. <br/>He does great with other dogs, big and small, although he isn’t much of a “playmate.” His world revolves around his human, and he’s happiest being close to his person. He also hates being kenneled — he’ll bark to let you know that someone as adorable as him simply shouldn’t be behind bars. According to Shifu, “they don’t make faces this cute anymore,” and honestly… he’s not wrong.<br/>Shifu is available for adoption, and he’s ready to meet the person who truly gets him.We recommend a home with no children under 12, simply to ensure his boundaries are respected.If you’re looking for a devoted, quirky, charming companion who wants nothing more than to be by your side (and occasionally run the household), Shifu can’t wait to meet you — and to choose you.<br/>weighs 15 pounds and his adoption fee is $240, it includes registration of my microchip, a sample of my food, new leash/collar and toy & treat packet. I am neutered and vaccinated.
