About Reeses Pieces

Meet Reeses Pieces, a lovable four-year-old Shih Tzu searching for a patient and caring forever home. He spent his early years with his previous owners but now needs a new start due to their health issues. Reeses is a little shy, and while he might take some time to adapt to his new surroundings, he has so much love to give once he feels safe. With his charming personality and the cutest face — often with the tip of his tongue peeking out — you'll find him hard to resist. Reeses thrives in a quiet environment, ideally with adults or older children. He is pee pad trained and is looking for a foster-to-adopt situation. For potential adopters, there are certain requirements such as living within 80 miles of Adams, NY, having experienced pet owners, and ensuring he meets the family for a proper introduction. A physical fence is recommended to help him adjust, and he will need regular grooming. His adoption fee of $500 is waived for those fostering him. Reeses has his vaccinations up to date and will be neutered before adoption. If you think you might be a fit for this gentle guy, we’d love to hear from you!
