Shih Tzu Dogs Available for Adoption in Brookhaven, New York

Rizzo is a sweet senior gentleman estimated to be around 8-10 years old who came to us as a stray. While he may have a few special needs, none of them have taken away his gentle, loving spirit. Rizzo is vision impaired and currently takes daily medication. Despite this, he remains a playful, easy going boy who simply enjoys the comfort of companionship and a peaceful environment. He especially seems to enjoy the company of calm, older dogs who match his mellow energy.
This little guy would thrive in a quiet home where he can relax, feel safe, and enjoy his golden years surrounded by love. Rizzo is incredibly sweet, gentle, and appreciative of kindness. He’s the kind of dog who just wants a soft place to rest, some affection, and someone to give him the chance he deserves. After ending up in the shelter later in life, Rizzo is hoping for a fresh start and a family willing to open their heart to a special senior boy. He may require a little extra care, but in return he’ll give endless love and gratitude 💙
