We here at Pine Tree would like to give a warm welcome to our newest "staff member" - Voo Doo! For years (since 1990!), a shih tzu has always walked the halls of Pine Tree, and little Voo Doo here is the next to carry the torch. After only a couple weeks, he's already settling in beautifully and befriending staff and clients alike. We are excited to see what new experiences and energy the little guy brings to the table! Thank you to Mollie at Tatnicland Shih Tzus for breeding & raising such a wonderful pup 💕

For those wondering why we didn't pick a rescue/shelter pet, we did explore those options! Unfortunately, the leads we had did not pan out, including a delightful short-term foster that unfortunately was not a good fit for the busy environment here (don't worry- he was promptly and happily adopted by his previous foster mom once he went back to the rescue!). When appropriate, we highly recommend adopting a rescue or shelter dog, but we also support ethical breeders who strive to better their breed of choice. It takes a certain type of dog to thrive here, and Voo Doo checked all the boxes. Plus, Denise has admired the shih tzus from Mollie's kennel for years and is delighted to have gotten the chance to bring one home!

So let's give a warm welcome for Voo Doo! 🤗 He has some big paws to fill, but we're sure he'll do a spectacular job in creating his own legacy to be proud of 💖🐾
