About Lee

What are you waiting for? Apply today! Meet Lee, a true vintage classic with a soft wash and a heart ready to be broken in with love. This nine-year-old Shih Tzu is a petite fellow, weighing around 12 pounds, with a gorgeous brown and white long coat. Coming from a breeder surrender environment, Lee can be a bit reserved at first, but he's patiently waiting for the right person to help him step into his new chapter. Lee will thrive in a home with another dog to guide him, and with a patient adopter who appreciates that the strongest bonds are built over time. He’s fully vetted—neutered, microchipped, and current on vaccines—and his $200 adoption fee covers all this. With kindness, Lee will become a devoted, timeless companion. As a Pisces (born February 20), Lee is especially sensitive and intuitive, often drawn to gentle, nurturing homes. Please note, our rescue prioritizes finding the best fit for each animal. Adoptions are not on a first-come, first-served basis, and approved adopters must be able to travel to Tulsa for a meeting. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
