Shih Tzu and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Fall River, Massachusetts

Meet Yoshi!

Yes, this is a dog and NOT, in fact, the enchanted ottoman from the animated Beauty and the Beast movie.

Yoshi is a 10.5lb shih tzu/yorkie mix. That's a complete guess on our end just based on his entire...everything.

This guy is IMMEDIATELY friendly with everyone. He has zero concerns about meeting new people and making friends instantly. He doesn't know the term "stranger danger" and he doesn't care to know, thanks. He's perfectly happy being the handsome, extroverted social butterfly that he is.

He's pretty good on a leash but he is prone to zoomie zigzags every so often. He's a young guy, zoomies are a given. He has mild interest in squeaky toys but not much else other than that - he prefers hanging out with people and getting attention. He SEEMS to know some cues...but he knows them by the hand signal. It's possible he knows the spoken cues themselves, just perhaps not in English.

Yoshi is great with other dogs, if maybe a little bouncy with questionable boundaries so he may try to bounce off of them to entice them to play with him. He would also do well with dog-friendly cats. Kids 12+ because, as friendly as he is, we don't know if he's ever been around children and are unsure how he would be with them.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
