Puppy Application

We are you excited that you are taking the first steps to become part of the The Shih Tzu Nursery Family. If you are interested in adopting one of our babies, we must have an application on file for you. This also helps us to get the information we need to contact you about the availability of the puppy you are looking for.

Once we have the application, we will contact you by phone. If we do not have your perfect puppy available, we do keep a waitlist for future litters &/or first pick of litters. Our Waiting List consists of an agreement and a $300 deposit. We allow visits, virtual or in-person, with puppies before an adoption commitment is made but, puppies need to be at least 6 weeks of age. Our waiting list rolls over from litter to litter to ensure you find the puppy that is the right match for you.

- Our Puppies START at $3,500. It is hard to give a precise estimate on each dog, as they are priced based on breed, size, color, confirmation, & pedigree. The MAJORITY of our pups are between $3,500 & $4,500, but that does not mean that some are less & some are more. Our pet price is determined by conformation, temperament, color, & size.
