Richard Burton - Shih Tzu Dog for Adoption in Hilton, New York

Richard Burton is on the market and looking for his one true love! This little guy is 3 months old and 100% puppy mode — playful, curious, energetic, and full of personality! He loves tug-of-war and fetch and will keep you laughing all day long.

Like any young puppy, he is still learning his manners and has the typical puppy nipping/mouthing that comes with this age. He’s also much faster than you would think, so don’t let those little legs fool you! He’ll do best in a forever home with someone who understands puppy behavior and is willing to continue working on training, boundaries, and redirecting that puppy energy.

He is working on potty training and is already doing great with his nighttime routine — he sleeps through the night in his pen! He will likely transition to a crate well, too.

He came to North Paw Rescue as a surrender from a breeder when it was discovered that he had a deformity to his penis. He was not able to fully empty his bladder, but has recently undergone surgery to repair that and is now like a whole new dude! He's now officially ready to start his next chapter with his forever family.

He’s a sweet, fun-loving little guy looking for someone who will enjoy all the fun — and occasional chaos — that comes with raising a puppy.

If you’re looking for a playful companion and are prepared for the long term commitment, patience, and training that comes with a young puppy, this little guy may be the perfect match!

Richard Burton's adoption fee is $700! This adoption fee includes: his alter and surgery, a microchip, his rabies, bordetella, and age appropriate DAPP vaccines, flea/heartworm preventative, and a deworming treatment while in foster care.
