About Ember

Meet Ember! At just 4.8 pounds, this loving 8-year-old Shih Tzu mix is a bundle of joy.

This sweet girl brings a lot of personality and charm. Ember is looking for a forever home that will provide her with regular grooming and plenty of affection. She has been heartworm tested, vaccinated, dewormed, and given flea preventative. Before adoption, she will be spayed and microchipped.
