Shih Tzu Dogs Available for Adoption in Honesdale, Pennsylvania

Cricket is a senior male Shih Tzu with a charming mix of friendliness and independence. This little guy knows what he likes—especially a nice, cozy lap to curl up on when he’s ready for some quiet time. He enjoys companionship but is also perfectly content doing his own thing, making him a great match for someone who appreciates a more easygoing, low-key buddy. Cricket seems to do well with other dogs, but his compatibility with cats is currently unknown.
He does have a few preferences when it comes to handling—Cricket does not enjoy being picked up and is not a fan of grooming. Because of this, he will need to be muzzled for grooming appointments. An experienced and understanding home that can respect his boundaries and help keep him comfortable will be the best fit for him. Despite his quirks, Cricket is a sweet senior who just wants a soft place to land and someone to share his days with. Come meet him at Dessin, open every day from 12-3, no appointment needed.
