Shih Tzu and Pomapoo Dogs Available for Adoption in Lakeport, California

This adorable little Shih Tzu mix boy is around 2 years old and ready for a fresh start.

When he first arrived to us from the shelter, he was extremely matted and clearly had not been well cared for. Despite everything he’s been through, he is slowly learning that people can be kind, gentle, and safe.

He can still startle easily if someone suddenly reaches for him or tries to pick him up too quickly, so he will need a patient and understanding home that will continue helping him build confidence at his own pace. Once he feels safe, he loves cuddling up next to his person and enjoys going for walks.

He is dog friendly and would do best with adopters who understand that rescue dogs sometimes need a little extra time and compassion while adjusting to a new life. Watching him learn to trust has already been so rewarding.
