About May

Meet May! May is a 5-year-old, 14-pound Shih Tzu who is on a journey to find her forever home. This shy girl takes a bit of time to warm up, as she needs to feel secure with new people. If you approach her with patience and kindness, you’ll soon discover a loyal companion who loves nothing more than sitting by your side and soaking up your attention. Having transitioned from a nervous arrival, May has made significant strides in her confidence and now requires a loving family that understands the beauty of earning a shy dog’s trust. She thrives in a calm, low-traffic environment where she can continue to grow. A securely fenced yard would greatly benefit her, as she isn't used to leash walks yet. Additionally, having another friendly dog around will help her feel more at ease and encourage her blossoming personality. If you have the compassion to support May in coming out of her shell, you’ll gain a wonderful little buddy for life. She deserves all the love you can offer and time to shine in her new home. The adoption fee is $500. All UnderDogs are spayed/neutered, heartworm checked, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines and preventatives. Ready to bring May into your life?
