About Tatoo

Meet Tatoo, a delightful 12-week-old Shih Tzu pup weighing in at just 6 pounds. While he may be a bit shy at first, Tatoo is always ready for playtime and loves the company of both humans and fellow dogs. He’s been making great strides with his potty and crate training, though he's still learning the ropes and could use a patient family to help guide him. Tatoo will thrive in a home with a fenced yard where he can romp around safely. He’s young and adaptable, so he could also be content in an apartment if there’s an outdoor area for play. Although he hasn't met any cats yet, being a puppy, he would likely do well with dog-savvy felines. His future family should be ready to invest time in socialization and continued training. Puppies need a lot of love and attention, and everyone in the household should be committed to supporting Tatoo’s development. At an adoption fee of $150, Tatoo comes with his spay/neuter, vaccinations, wellness exam, heartworm test, and microchip. Ready to welcome this little guy into your home? Tatoo can’t wait to meet you! Just complete the application to get started.
