About Shih Tzus
The Royal Kennel Club says the Shih Tzu is popularly accepted to have come from China, with an ancestry of Tibetan breeds, and was once known as the "Lhasa Lion dog". It says the first Shih Tzus were shown in England in 1933, and the breed was officially recognised in the 1940s.

How many rescue Shih Tzus are available for adoption in Oxfordshire?
As of 14 November 2026, no Shih Tzus are listed for adoption in Oxfordshire on LocalPetFinder. Rescues add animals all the time, so this page fills as they list them.
Are there Shih Tzu puppies for sale in Oxfordshire?
No. Rescues rehome Shih Tzus for an adoption fee rather than selling them, so be wary of any advert that asks for a deposit before you have met the dog. The nearest place with Shih Tzus listed today is Northampton, about 36 miles away, where each profile shows its rescue's fee.
Can I get a free Shih Tzu to a good home in Oxfordshire, or one under £500?
Usually not from a rescue: each asks an adoption fee towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations, and a "free to a good home" advert is a private one with no rescue checks behind it. Fees are set by each rescue: the profiles on Northampton's Shih Tzus page show them.
