Hi, I'm Toledo, I’m adopted!
Lhasa Apso Shih Tzu | Baby | Male | Small
About Me
Toledo was adopted in July 2025.
Toledo is the 4th of five puppies born on 04/27/25 to Fiona (the bestest Mom!). He was the runt of the litter and is now the heaviest puppy. He is a beautiful chocolate color with greenish/brown eyes and white “socks” on 3 of his 4 paws. He is the little adventurer of the litter and likes to give his fosters a heart-attack by always “playing hide-and-seek”..lol. He is estimated to be about 12-18lbs when he’s full grown and he will need to be groomed every 8 weeks!! He will be neutered on 07/25/25 and will be available to go home with his new family soon after. He will be up to date with age-appropriate shots. Due to his size and puppy mouthing, we prefer he goes to a home with adults or teenage children. He will chew inappropriate things as he is still teething. He will need to be given alternatives to teach him right from wrong. This will require lots of patience!!
Toledo is not crate-trained. He has been kept in an x-pen for a few hours each day and at night along with his brothers. He is not house-trained; we are currently using pee pee pads and have been taking him outside at intervals. He will need continued work on house-training. Again, this will require lots of patience!!

Since he is a small dog, he will most likely live to be 15+ years. This requires a long-term commitment and an adopter that understands the cost of owning a puppy. Because of his young age, we prefer he goes to a home where someone is home most of the day so they can continue to work on his house-training and all the other training a puppy needs. He will benefit from puppy socialization and basic training classes as well.
He currently lives with his brothers and the foster’s 4 small dogs. Because he has been with other dogs since birth, we feel he should go to a home with other pets as he loves to run and play with other dogs. He is also good at going off and exploring on his own. He loves spending time outside
but should never be left unattended due to his size and adventurous spirit. He also is affectionate and generous with the kisses.

We require a fenced yard for Toledo. His adoption fee is $450 and we will not be adopting him with any of his siblings. Experienced adopter required.
