Sweetie Pie is a Shih Tzu puppy. She is very sweet and completely calm. She has playful energy but is also very calm and cuddly. She will follow you around the house and loves to be with her people. She is absolutely amazing with small kids. She sleeps in a soft crate with access to water and a pee pad inside a playpen. She is great at sleeping mostly through the night but will bark in the morning to let you know she wants to go outside. She is really good at going potty outside as long as she is taken out frequently. She is having almost no accidents and getting better each day. She is a quick learner and is sometimes even walking to the door when she wants out.

She is absolutely amazing with small kids even letting them carry her around and invaded her space constantly and she seems to love it, she is so calm and patient with their kid energy. She is good with other dogs, at least small ones, and with children. She is fine riding in a car. She is definitely food motivated.

She will be an absolute dream for anyone looking for a sweet cuddly pup.

A Quick but Important Note to All Adopters:
Please remember that none of our dogs arrive fully trained. Most come from tough or uncertain beginnings and may have never lived in a home or known basic routines. That means:

✧ They are not potty trained on arrival. Most dogs regress in potty training when moving to a new environment.

✧ They may lack basic manners (like leash walking or appropriate chewing).

✧ They’re learning, growing, and doing their best—but they will need patience, structure, and compassion to succeed.

The majority of these pups have lived in the confinement of a cage or kennel run for most - if not all - of their lives. Because of this, we strongly discourage the use of crates for anything other than vehicle transport. They deserve the chance to decompress and learn what true freedom and comfort feel like.

Our amazing foster homes work hard to start these dogs on the right path, but they are rescues, not finished products. These dogs need time, consistency, and a loving home willing to meet them where they are.

Also, breed designations are our best guesses based on appearance and behavior. We can't guarantee breed, size, adult weight, or coat type.
