Meet Trillium, a 3 month old Shih Tzu mix — a delicate little bloom with a bright spirit, a thoughtful nature, and just the right touch of sass.
Like her namesake wildflower, Trillium is a lovely balance of gentle beauty and quiet resilience. She’s a sweet, friendly puppy who adores attention, happily soaking up pets and praise from everyone she meets. Smart and eager, she already knows “sit” and is highly food-motivated, making her a great candidate for continued training as she grows. Aka queue -- the liver treats!
Trillium brings a playful energy to her days, especially on walks and during playtime with her brothers. She enjoys toys, a good play wrestle, and then, just as happily, curling up for a peaceful rest once she’s had her fun. She’s well-mannered overall, but like many thoughtful pups, she communicates her boundaries — she may occasionally growl when she’s had enough, particularly around food with her siblings when overstimulated. With continued guidance and respectful interactions (especially with children), she’s already showing great improvement.
As a typical puppy, Trillium will benefit from formal training to help her blossom into a confident, well-rounded companion.
Trillium's bloodwork showed some mild abnormalities — the changes noted on her bloodwork are commonly seen in young puppies, and expected to normalize as she matures, but should be confirmed with the follow up bloodwork at 8-10 months of age at the expense of her adopter. Her final booster vaccination will be due between July 15–22.
Trillium is a bright, affectionate little flower — playful, perceptive, and full of love — ready to take root in a home that will nurture her as she grows.
