Adopt a Shih Tzu in Arizona

Shih Tzus are affectionate, playful, and outgoing dogs bred for companionship. They're common in rescue, especially from puppy mills or situations where their grooming needs became overwhelming. A rescued Shih Tzu will reward you with endless cuddles.

Arizona's rescue dog network is large and well-organized, especially across Phoenix, Tucson, and the surrounding communities. The state has high shelter populations year-round due to climate and border-region strays. A rescued Arizona dog often comes from a high-volume metro shelter.
