💰 Pricing Overview

Our AKC Shih Tzu puppies are typically priced between $2,500–$3,500, depending on their size, color, and lineage.

📋 Adoption Process

Whether you're ready to adopt a puppy now or hoping to reserve one from a future litter, here’s how our process works:

👉 Adopting Now?
Start with our application. If it’s a good match and the puppy is still available, you’ll move straight to the reservation deposit.

👉 Joining the Waitlist?
Planning ahead? You’ll follow our waitlist steps below to secure your spot for a future litter.

Step 1: Puppy Application
Fill out our [Puppy Application] so we can learn more about you and what you’re looking for in a companion.

Step 2: FaceTime/Virtual Interview
We’ll schedule a FaceTime or video call to answer your questions, get to know each other better, and give you a chance to see the puppies before making a deposit.

Step 3: Deposit to Reserve

  • Available Puppies: To reserve a currently available puppy, a $500 non-refundable reservation deposit is required.

  • Waitlist: To hold your spot for a future litter, a $200 non-refundable waitlist deposit secures your place in line.

Deposits and payments can be made through Zelle, Venmo, or GoodDog. If you’ve already applied through GoodDog, all payments must continue through their platform.

Step 4: Puppy Selection (Waitlist Only)
When a litter arrives, we contact waitlist families in the order deposits were received. You’ll have 48 hours to confirm interest or defer to the next litter.

Step 5: Final Payment
Final payment is due 3 days before your scheduled pickup or delivery date.

Step 6: Puppy Pickup (10–12 Weeks)
Puppies go home between 10–12 weeks, depending on readiness. Pickup and delivery options will be coordinated individually.

That’s it! We’re here to guide you every step of the way and make this a joyful, smooth experience. If you have questions at any point, don’t hesitate to reach out — we’re always happy to help.
