Finally

It may take you a while to find a Shih Tzu in Pennslyvania.

Unless you are willing, or able to travel out of state, you will need to be a little patient.

As there are no dedicated Shih Tzu rescues here, it does mean you will need to inquire and remain in close contact with the rescues above.

Register your interest and keep an eye on their adoption pages.

If you are lucky, then they may even have one at the time of your search.

And while I spent a lot of time trying to find a Shih Tzu-specific rescue in PA, it may be I missed one. So do contact me if this is the case.

I’ll be sure to get them added!
