Trading is another excellent way to get a Shih Tzu, especially if you have rare pets or items to exchange. Here’s what you need to know:
Trading Strategy: I recommend offering pets of similar rarity or slightly higher value to secure a good trade for your Shih Tzu.

The Shih Tzu costs 975 Bucks when purchased directly from the Pet Shop in Adoption Island. This price was set when the pet was released on November 14, 2025, and has remained consistent since then.
The Pet Shop is located next to the main bridge in Adoption Island. You can easily identify it by its white building with a blue “Pet Shop” sign and a large white bone on top of the building. The NPC Niles can be found inside the shop.
Yes! You can hatch a Shih Tzu from both Basic Eggs and Crystal Eggs, though it’s based on chance. The Pet Shop purchase method is more reliable if you specifically want a Shih Tzu.
The Shih Tzu learns 6 tricks as it grows: Sit (Newborn), Joyful (Junior), Beg (Pre-Teen), Jump (Teen), Trick 1 (Post-Teen), and Trick 2 (Full Grown).
To create a Neon Shih Tzu, you need to age four full-grown Shih Tzus and then combine them at the Neon Cave under the bridge in Adoption Island. The Neon version glows peach on its ears, front paws, eye spots, tail, and back.
The fastest ways to earn Bucks include pet task farming (completing sleeping, eating, showering, playing, and school tasks), AFK farming setups, and completing daily tasks from the Task Board for bonus rewards and Aztec Eggs.
Yes! As an uncommon pet released in November 2025, Shih Tzus have good trading value, especially in their Neon and Mega Neon forms. Many players collect them for their cute appearance and trading potential.
You’ll need 16 regular Shih Tzus to create a Mega Neon Shih Tzu. This breaks down to 4 regular Shih Tzus for each Neon, and then 4 Neon Shih Tzus to create the Mega Neon version.
Based on previous pet releases in Adopt Me, the Shih Tzu will likely remain available in the Pet Shop permanently, but this isn’t guaranteed. It’s always best to get pets you want sooner rather than later.
