Shih Tzu Dogs Available for Adoption in Jersey City, New Jersey

Bandit is a 5-year-old Shih Tzu looking for his furrever home!

Despite Bandit’s name, he’s one of the calmest, sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet, cool and collected in any situation! He’s very comfortable around strangers, but it takes him a while to be outwardly affectionate with people that he’s just met. He enjoys quiet, long walks where he’ll sometimes stop just so he can sit in a sunny spot or spend some time sniffing the dandelions near the sidewalk. While he isn’t the biggest fan of being picked up, he definitely enjoys a good lap to lay on, especially somewhere outside where he can watch the world go by. Bandit would be a perfect dog for just about anyone but would be ideal for a relaxed home or with a senior!

If you are interested in adopting Bandit, please go to jcnj.org/adopt to submit an application, or call us at 201-547-5700 during business hours for more information.
