Meet Saylor | Rehome With Love Pet Adoption

Meet Saylor, a sweet and playful three-year-old Shih Tzu from New Braunfels, TX, whose journey from a timid, uncertain pup to a lively, affectionate companion is nothing short of inspiring! With her soft black-and-white coat and bright, curious eyes, Saylor is ready to find her next loving home where she can continue to grow, learn, and thrive.

Saylor is full of energy and adores playing, especially with other animals. She currently lives with two Shih Tzus and a cat, and they are the best of friends—so having furry companions in her new home would be a wonderful bonus! Squeaky toys are her absolute favorite, and she loves a good game of fetch, bounding after her toys with joy.

While Saylor is still working on her potty training, she’s making progress every day. She wears diapers when she can’t be monitored and sleeps soundly in her cozy kennel at night, which helps her hold her bladder. With time, patience, and consistency, she’ll continue to build confidence and understanding in this area. Since she likely spent much of her early life without proper care, she needs a guardian who can dedicate time to helping her adjust and thrive.

Saylor is affectionate and loves attention—she wants to be close to her people and soak up all the love she can get! Because of her sensitive nature, loud noises and barking dogs can make her a little nervous, so a calm and patient home would be ideal. A fenced yard would be perfect for her to safely explore and play.

She is up to date on vaccinations and requires regular grooming every couple of months, with baths in between to keep her looking and feeling her best! Saylor needs a home where she won’t be left alone for long periods and where she’ll receive love, patience, and structure.

Are you ready to open your heart to this loving, playful little pup? If you think she’s the perfect match for you, reach out to learn more about Saylor today!
