Jeffrey - Shih Tzu and Terrier Dog for Adoption in Lewis Center, Ohio

Sweet Jeffrey is looking for a new forever home after his elderly owners moved into assisted living and could no longer care for him. Jeffrey is fully vetted, neutered and even had a recent dental. Jeffrey is used to a quiet life with his people and probably would do best in a similar quiet household. Senior owners would be great for him! He is untested with cats and he has not really been around a lot of dogs either. Jeffrey also has not had a lot of interactions with children. Jeffrey is crate trained and goes in his crate on his own when home alone. Grandparents who would have the occasional visit of grandkids could easily crate Jeffrey in a quiet room during visit time. Jeffrey is leash trained and walks well on leash. We have Jeffrey marked as partially housetrained because he was having some accidents in the house lately. However it is unclear if this was his fault or if his owners could no longer take him out on time for potty breaks. Jeffrey is a cuddler. He just wants a person to love him, to sit next to on the couch and to hang out for treats!
