About Summer Breeze

Meet Summer Breeze, a spirited 6-year-old Shih Tzu currently looking for a foster-to-adopt home. She has a charming personality and knows what she wants, especially when it comes to food. Summer had a loving home but is now ready to find a new family that can provide her with the patience and attention she needs. Though she has a guarding instinct over her food, it's understandable; who wouldn't want to protect their plate? This little diva warms up quickly but prefers a slow introduction to new friends. She thrives in calm, adult environments and is pee pad trained. Summer has specific requirements for her new home: she should live within 80 miles of Adams, NY, and ideally with experienced pet owners familiar with regular grooming, as she needs a trim every 6-8 weeks. She is good with dogs but should be fed separately to avoid food dominance. Her ideal home would have no younger children and preferably a physical fence for her comfort. If you're ready to provide Summer with the love she deserves, she could be the perfect match for you. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
