About Blanche

Meet Blanche, a lovable member of our Golden Girls litter! This little lady is a mix, with a charming personality that draws everyone in. Born on August 1, 2026, she currently tips the scales at around 9 lbs. While her mom is a 15 lb Shih Tzu, Blanche is expected to grow to a medium size. Blanche is friendly and sociable, getting along well with cats, dogs, and even kids who know how to treat a pup right. She’s eager to find a family that will support her growth with positive reinforcement training and plenty of affection. If your home is ready for a bundle of joy, Blanche could be the perfect fit! Her adoption fee of $550 covers her spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations, heartworm treatment, and any other necessary medical care, ensuring that she arrives healthy and ready to be your new companion. As a foster home-based rescue, we value home visits during the adoption process, and we can only adopt to families within Chicago and its surroundings. Thank you for your understanding!
