***ADOPTION PENDING***

MEET GEORGE….a stunning, b/w, 12 lb, 1 yr old (DOB 3.11.2025) purebred Shih Tzu, who came to us because his owner’s health prevented her from providing the home a puppy needs 🙁 He was very attached to her and whimpered when he couldn’t see her! It was just her and George and he needed more stimulus than she could provide. That being said, she loved him to pieces and wanted what is best for this boy.

George is a very easy going, happy, sometimes insecure, pup who thrives with activity. THIS IS ALL NORMAL PUPPY BEHAVIOR!! He really loves being in the company of other dogs, which helps with his anxiety (which he really hasn’t exhibited much of in his foster home with multiple dogs). He will follow you everywhere and of course demands attention and lots of love! He gives sweet kisses in between tossing his toys around and playing! If you are a jogger, he’d probably love being your partner…and if you have kids with sports events, he’d love tagging along!! You can take him anywhere with you…just get him used to being in the car and you’ll have yourself a co-pilot!

George could probably fit into any home where the family is young and active, around/work from home, there is another dog (or two), kids over 8 yrs old would be great and one where he gets good exercise. Like a baby, he needs to be raised to be the best boy he can be…and you will be rewarded many times over. Are you ready for a playful puppy?
