Adopt a Shih Tzu in Massachusetts

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.

Massachusetts has a highly active rescue dog community, with most local shelters running primarily on transport from Southern states. Boston, Worcester, and Springfield are major hubs. A rescued Massachusetts dog has usually traveled north through one of these well-established transport networks.
