About Stanley

Meet Stanley, the charming little bundle of joy who's ready to capture your heart! Though he’s the smallest of his litter at just 5 lbs, his personality is as big as his love to give. Stanley was likely born around August 1, 2026, and comes from a lineage of mixed breeds, including a 15 lb Shih Tzu mom. His future size remains a delightful mystery as he could grow into a medium-sized dog. Stanley gets along wonderfully with cats, dogs, and respectful children. He’s a sweet pup looking for a family that will provide a loving environment, positive reinforcement training, and all the cuddles he can handle. His adoption fee is $550, covering his spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations, and heartworm treatment, ensuring he steps into your home healthy and ready to thrive.
