About Mopsy

Meet Mopsy! Mopsy is a 5-year-old, 13-pound cream Shih Tzu with a heart full of resilience. She spent the early part of her life in a breeder hoarding situation, which left her feeling neglected and wary. When she first came to rescue, Mopsy was incredibly timid and shut down. Thanks to the patience and kindness of her foster family, as well as the comfort of fellow dogs, her true personality has begun to shine through. These days, Mopsy is discovering life’s joys: cozy beds, tasty treats, and the warmth of a loving home. This sweet and gentle girl is learning to embrace her surroundings day by day, each milestone a mini-celebration. For Mopsy to thrive, she needs a home with another friendly and confident dog. Having a furry companion helps her feel safe and boosts her confidence. Mopsy is good with other dogs and truly comes alive when she has a canine buddy. This little one is looking for a patient family that will let her blossom at her own pace. In return, you’ll witness the heartwarming transformation of a pup learning what love really means.
