A NYC estimate for a dog this size and coat. Excludes the adoption fee and anything unexpected.
Fully grown at about 4 lbs.
Biscotti is just as sweet as her name suggests! When this darling Shih Tzu was surrendered to Animal Haven, we immediately noticed how skinny she was. Sadly, she was severely underweight and our veterinary team started her on a feeding plan to help her gradually, and safely, gain weight. She will need to continue her diet in her new home, but we're hopeful that she'll soon return to the healthy, happy pup she deserves to be. We are keeping things low-key for Biscotti while she recovers, but so far she has been a wonderful little dog, and should do well in most homes. Adopt Biscotti!
🧠 Temperament
Biscotti is just as sweet as her name suggests!. Bred purely for companionship — affectionate, cheerful and content to be near you all day.
🎾 Exercise
Low — short walks and indoor play.
✂️ Grooming
High. The long coat mats quickly; either commit to daily brushing or keep it in a short puppy cut.
🏙️ In a NYC apartment
An easy, quiet apartment companion. Flat-faced, so keep summer walks short and cool.
