you do not buy pets from the shelter. you adopt and the animal will have all shots, microchipped, spayed or neutered, heartworm checked and fecal done. the adoption fee may still be $67.00. puppies go fast. you may also be able to contact a Shih Tzu rescue but the price you pay would be the full price for all the vetting. but still less than if you bought a pup from a breeder and had all the vetting done yourself. I just had a small dog spayed with pain meds, all the shots, blood check, fecal check, ear cleaning with meds, and microchipped with (lifetime register) and it cost me over $500.00. (it was a high-end vet but the dog was also very fearful) but it still would have been cheaper to turn it into the shelter, let them vet it and then adopt it.
Puppies tend to go quick. They have dofs, cats, and kittens galore though.
You'll have to go in to see. It changes daily.
