Thank you!<br/><br/><br/>Waffles is a very active and curious Shih Tzu puppy who is a beautiful shiny chestnut brown. Her personality is spunky and happy. She was born March 20, 2026 so shes just a young puppy and is still sharing her life with her littermate brother and sister. While shes the largest of her littermates, and usually the first to learn new things, we think shell grow to be a small ten pound girl like her mom.<br/><br/><br/>Waffles has an opinion and shes going to let you know. Shes very vocal and has been learning to bark, whine and growl. She is very playful and displays daily zoomies and sometimes the pounces. She loves to follow you around and would really enjoy another small dog friend to play with. This is not a requirement but she does wear out her two littermates with plenty of energy to spare. Shes going to need an active family that can keep her busy and challenged.<br/><br/><br/>Waffles has a bit of a stubborn personality, and when called, she sometimes gives a look, asking Why? And you can tell shes deciding if coming will result in what she wants or doesnt want. Shes starting potty training and will pace and whine when she needs to go outside. But she sometimes unfortunately forgets why shes outside because of all the interesting smells and rolling to do.<br/><br/><br/>In the evening before bed she really enjoys some lap time and snuggles next to you to sleep when shes done with her lap time.<br/><br/><br/>Waffles is friendly and fun! We think she would do well with another small dog of equal energy and would benefit in playing and learning from them. She would also do well with respectful older children.<br/><br/><br/>These are the requirements for Waffles new family:<br/><br/><br/>1. Because Shih Tzus can live 16+ years, applications will only be accepted from age appropriate individuals who will be able to provide the care, activity and support for Waffles for her entire life.<br/><br/>2. A family with children over the age of ten who have demonstrated how to gently and appropriately interact and care for a small dog will be considered.<br/><br/>3. A secure fenced yard would be great, but Waffles needs close supervision because shes so curious. When shes older shell enjoy daily walks.<br/><br/>4. Waffles will shine with training. She loves to learn new things and catches on quickly. Training classes are important and are highly recommended for her to bond, socialize and learn good manners.<br/><br/>5. A family where someone is home much of the day and night to continue her housetraining. Little puppies need to initially be taken out at least every two hours.<br/><br/>6. Provide lots of opportunities to socialize. Waffles would like to be an integral part of her new familys life and will need lots of new experiences and challenges to grow into a well adjusted pup.<br/><br/>7. Live within 30 miles of Shoreview, MN.<br/><br/>8. Agree to attend the annual Shih Tzu Rescue Reunion held in September each year.<br/><br/><br/>Waffles has had her first puppy DAPP vaccination and is microchipped. Her adopters must provide required vaccinations as she becomes a bit older. Because she is too young to be spayed, her adopters must agree to have her spayed within six months after adoption and pay a spay deposit which will be refunded upon proof of her spay surgery.<br/><br/><br/>The adoption fee for Waffles is $520.00 plus $46.93 sales tax and the additional refundable spay deposit of $150.00, for a total fee of $716.93.<br/><br/><br/>To meet Waffles, please complete an adoption application at the website listed in the first paragraph. Or you can also see her and the other dogs available for adoption from Shih Tzu Rescue of Minnesota by visiting with us from 10:00 AM to 12:00 noon the first Saturday of every month at Chuck & Dons, 8537 Lyndale Avenue S., in Bloomington.
