About Sugar

Sugar is a spayed female Shih Tzu mix, around 6 years old and weighing between 10-15 lbs. She's a little chunky but absolutely charming, living up to her sweet name. Sugar made quite an impression at our recent adoption event. Currently, she's in a foster-to-adopt situation while we consult a vet regarding her eye. The rescue will cover all her care until we finalize her adoption once she's medically cleared. Sugar is friendly with both dogs and cats and is crate trained. She potties outside but also uses pads when needed, making her a resilient companion. Although she's good on a leash, a fenced yard isn't required for her. If you’re interested in bringing this lovable girl into your home, please consider fostering or adopting her. Local adoptions are currently prioritized as she will need to see our vet soon.
