About Waffles

Meet Waffles! Sweet as can be, Waffles is an adorable 3–4-month-old Shih Tzu mix puppy with a fluffy coat and a face that melts hearts. This little guy was rescued from a hoarding situation in South Texas, alongside his littermates. Despite his rough beginnings, he's ready for a loving family to cherish him forever. Waffles is expected to stay on the smaller side, likely under 20 lbs when fully grown, but exact sizes can’t be guaranteed. Like any puppy, he will require a family committed to potty training, socialization, and basic obedience training. His fluffy coat means regular brushing and grooming to keep his fur healthy and prevent matting will be needed. Waffles is scheduled to arrive in Virginia on November 13th, and more insights into his personality will follow once he's settled into his foster home. Waffles gets along well with both dogs and children, making him a great addition to any family. He's still too young to be neutered, so his adopter must sign a spay/neuter agreement. The adoption fee is $650, with a $100 refund after proof of neuter. Ready to welcome Waffles into your home? Click apply to start the adoption process.
