Galaxy

This dog is in Tennessee. Adoption Donation $250 if picked up in TN, $325 plus transport fee for out-of-state adoptions. Looking for a loving companion who's ready for any adventure and equally happy to cuddle? Meet Galaxy, the delightful Shih Tzu / Terrier mix with a heart full of love and a dash of pep! At 17 pounds and about 9 years old, Galaxy is the perfect size for your lap and your heart. Despite her estimated age, Galaxy is full of energy and loves to play, whether it's a game of chase with furry friends, running around with the zoomies, or lounging in the sun. She'll bring a smile to your face with her adorable "dance" that lets you know when she wants something. And don't worry, she's also perfectly content to snuggle up for a movie or relax with a chew toy when you're busy. House-trained with a consistent schedule and a champ at sleeping in her crate at night, Galaxy does fine on a leash and enjoys car rides once her initial excitement settles. She's good with other dogs, fine with cats after a quick introduction, and although not tested with children, she's likely to be just fine with them too. Galaxy will need to stay on special prescription dog food to prevent UTIs and bladder stones. Her sweet, loving disposition and eagerness to please make her worth every bit of extra care. She might need a little help getting used to new experiences, but with your love and patience, she'll thrive. Ideal for a single person looking for a best friend or a family ready to include her in their activities, Galaxy just wants to be part of your world. A fenced yard or daily walks would make her very happy, and she'd love a semi-playful fur sibling if you're away often. Ready to bring a little "Galaxy" into your life? She's waiting to fill your days with love and laughter! Interested in adopting?

Prior to adoption, all canines and felines are spayed or neutered, have received their age appropriate vaccinations, have been de-wormed for common parasites, and have received treatment for prevention of fleas and ticks. All canines over the age of 6 months have been tested for heartworm. All canines are put on heartworm prevention as soon as possible - this means dogs as soon as they are tested negative. Puppies are put on prevention immediately. All felines, regardless of age, have been tested for Feline Leukemia/FIV. Each animal receives a health check by a licensed veterinarian prior to adoption. Anything else found will be treated by our organization prior to adoption.
