About Royalty

Royalty is an eight-year-old, small Shih Tzu mix who weighs about 16 pounds and prefers a quiet, comfortable life. She would suit someone who works from home, is retired, or simply enjoys spending time at home. Royalty is completely housetrained, hardly barks, and moves around the house with calm confidence. She avoids getting underfoot and doesn’t try to dart through the door, making her easy to have around. She spends most of her day resting nearby on a cozy bed, only needing brief walks or bathroom breaks. Her coat is growing back in after being shaved, so future grooming is important to keep her healthy and comfortable. With her slight stiffness, a home without stairs will help her move comfortably. Royalty does well with other dogs, but her favorite thing is being close to her person in a peaceful home. If you want a gentle and undemanding friend to keep you company, Royalty might be the ideal fit. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
