MEET DWEEZIL…. and there is no question, he is a rockstar! This adorable 12 lb, 3yr-old, tri-colored, Lhasa Shih Tzu mix came from the Harbor Animal Shelter and he was meant to come to LHH.  Another person tried to adopt him after he had been available 10 days and we were on our way to get him. They did not have enough money, and they obviously were not the right home, so we picked him up and brought him directly to our groomer.  The picture below shows you how matted this poor baby was and in obvious pain.

Didn’t affect his personality whatsoever!  Dweezil is very affectionate, high energy, happy go lucky.  Surely he was in pain, but never complained.  He is a sweetheart and will fall asleep in your arms while you rub his belly.

Dweezil loves everyone.  He is kissy, active, extremely playful, loves toys and is a very happy pup! At 12 pounds, he is very underweight and eats like he hasn’t seen food in a month! He is getting plenty of good nourishment at LHH.  One thing we do know, he does not like being left alone, so the best home for him would be one where there is another young dog where he will get oodles of love and attention. We are working on his potty training and it’s going very well, but no guarantees at your house. He is potty-pad trained.

Dweezil just arrived, so we are still learning more about him.  He will be at our adoption events until he finds his forever home!  We know he won’t last long so if you’re interested, please apply!
