Adopt a Shih Tzu in Louisiana

Shih Tzus are affectionate, playful, and outgoing dogs bred for companionship. They're common in rescue, especially from puppy mills or situations where their grooming needs became overwhelming. A rescued Shih Tzu will reward you with endless cuddles.

Louisiana has one of the highest rescue dog populations in the country, with active organizations throughout New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Shreveport. The state's hurricane history led to robust rescue and transport networks. A rescued Louisiana dog often comes through one of these well-established programs.
