Gonzo - Shih Tzu and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Enterprise, Alabama

Meet Gonzo!

If you’re looking for a little dog with a BIG heart and an even bigger personality, you need to meet Gonzo!

Gonzo is a 4-year-old Shih Tzu mix weighing about 25 pounds, and he is pretty darn amazing. He loves his person and wants to be right there with you, soaking up all the love and attention he can get.

And then there’s that UNDERBITE. Gonzo has one of the most significant underbites we’ve ever seen, and honestly, it just makes his little face that much more adorable. That smile is 100% his signature look!

Gonzo is a great car rider, walks nicely on leash, and appears to be potty trained. He is also crate trained. He can be a little whiny in his crate because he would much rather be with his people, but he has actually started putting himself in his crate, so clearly he’s doing just fine with it!

And when it comes to kids? Gonzo is AMAZING. He absolutely loves children and has also been great with cats.

Gonzo will need regular coat maintenance to keep his Shih Tzu mix coat healthy and comfortable. His future family should be prepared for routine brushing and grooming.

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.
