Adoption Form

It is important to us for all of our puppies to be adopted into permanent, loving homes. We feel it is important to interview new puppy parents to make sure we match you with the right puppy. We want to be completely comfortable with the families our puppies join for their lifetime and we want you to feel comfortable with us. This is to ensure our puppies will be pampered and loved forever by the best puppy parent's ever!

Most of our tiny tots are reserved before they are born. If you see a puppy you would like to adopt or would like to be placed on our waiting list; please fill out our adoption form and email it to us at tinytotshihtzu@yahoo.com .

Tiny Tot Shih-Tzu does not sell to puppy mills, back yard breeders, pet stores, or other such undesirable prospects. We reserve the right to fully screen potential buyers and to refuse a sale that we believe is not in the best interests of our puppies.

Thank you for considering one of our sweet babies!
