About Nyx

Nyx is a playful 7-pound Shih Tzu mix puppy born around July 29th. He showcases a delightful mix of enthusiasm and laid-back charm. While he enjoys being part of the fun, he’s also quite content to relax and observe the world around him. With his gentle nature and endless supply of snuggles, Nyx is bound to bring joy to his forever family. He will come spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated, along with heartworm treatment and any necessary medical care to ensure he's the picture of health. Keep in mind that while we strive to describe each breed accurately, our pups come from various shelters, so we cannot guarantee precise breed or size.
