Description

Tufty's ideal home

Tufty the nearly 7-year-old Shih Tzu is looking for his forever home, he’d love someone who is home most of the day, he enjoys time a secure garden, he is happy to sleep in his bed, although he does prefer sitting next to you on the sofa. Tufty has settled well in his foster home, his foster mum describes him as ‘adorable’

Could you be Tufty's perfect match?

Tufty loves going out on walks, he enjoys snoozing in the sunshine on his bed, or snuggling himself alongside you on the furniture, once he settled he has been keen to perch on his foster families knee, he is housetrained and enjoys company of other dogs. He took a little time to suss out all of the changes in his life and was a little apprehensive to begin with, he was given time to settle and he has been good to handle at vet check and in the foster home. Adopters will need to take things at Tufty’s pace to allow him to settle in. Tufty has played with toys and he will take treats gently once he gets to know you. Like many a Shih Tzu Tufty does like to vocalise. Tufty is unable to live with children.

Shih Tzu Buying Checklist

We highly recommend every buyer reads through the below advice when purchasing or rehoming a Shih Tzu.

View the animal in the place it was born and raised - check for genuine home environments if buying privately, or the quality of the breeders set-up if applicable.
If viewing a puppy under 6 months, by law they MUST be seen with their mum.
Make sure the animal's old enough to be rehomed. 8 weeks should be the earliest a puppy can be rehomed.
By law, all dogs MUST be microchipped

Avoid Potential Scams

There are a number of red flags to look out for when purchasing a new puppy:

Seller demands a deposit without allowing you to see the dog first - never send any money before meeting the animal in person
Seller is reluctant to send you additional photos or videos
Seller offers to deliver the dog/puppy
Seller asks to meet in a mutual location
Seller uses fake or stolen photos from the internet. Always carry out a "Google image search".

Although we have a number of automated systems in place to prevent scam and fraudulant adverts, these can never be 100% accurate and its important to use caution when buying online. We do not accept any responsibility for transactions between our users, especially when our safe buying advice is not followed.
