Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.Adoption Fee: $950 Meet the Dancer Puppies! These 8–9-week-old Shih Tzu mix puppies are ready to twirl their way into your heart! The Dancer litter—Charleston, Disco, Foxtrot, Hula, Jazz, Polka, and Tango—is a joyful troupe of confident, curious, and cuddly pups. Born into foster care and lovingly raised with dogs, cats, and lots of human interaction, they’re well-socialized, thriving, and absolutely adorable. They’re on a solid routine that includes structured play, potty time in the yard, group naps in their x-pen kitchen setup, and individual snuggles with their people in the evenings. They’ve been exposed to everyday household sounds, play nicely with large and small dogs, and are learning both outdoor potty skills and how to use pads indoors. Each puppy has their own unique flair—but they all share a love for stuffy toys, zoomies, and being near their people. They'll do great in a variety of home settings. Meet the Dancers Charleston (male)The tiniest of the group with the biggest personality. Bold, super social, and the first to befriend the family cat and big dog. A champion snuggler—he’s often found snoozing in someone's arms. Disco (female)An independent explorer who enjoys a little me-time during play but melts into a puddle during 1:1 cuddles. She’s adventurous, observant, and would thrive as a solo pup. Foxtrot (male)A curious climber who loves perching on pillows, boxes, or even his siblings. Smart and gentle, he was the first to master stairs. He starts out reserved, but warms up quickly when ready to play. Hula (female)The spitting image of her mama, Diva. Resourceful and clever, Hula keeps track of every last kibble and has a habit of sneakily stealing toys and leaves from her siblings. Greets humans belly-up for rubs—irresistible! Jazz (female)The social butterfly of the bunch, always the first to greet new people. Her coat is as soft as a bunny, and she loves stick-hunting adventures in the bushes. Feisty when her prized finds are stolen! Polka (female)Small but mighty—shy at first, but once she joins in, her personality shines. She prefers to follow the action rather than lead it and snores adorably during her deep, peaceful naps. Tango (male)The biggest pup with the fluffiest coat. He holds his own during wrestling matches but also likes to march to the beat of his own drum. This handsome boy loves to nap belly-up and soak in the calm. Ideal Homes These puppies are ready to thrive in a variety of homes—with families, singles, couples, or seniors. They’re used to other dogs and cats, and their adaptable personalities mean they’ll do well with continued socialization and love. Each will be adopted individually, not in pairs. Ready to add a little rhythm to your life? Apply to meet the Dancer Puppies—each one ready to groove their way into your heart.June 18, 2025, 10:17 pm
