Kiko is a 17 pound, neutered male Shih Tzu, approximately 5 years old.

Kiko is very sweet and loyal and loves all people. He's confident in public places and loves going for car rides. He will bark excitedly at other dogs but we have worked on this and he is improving. He will need continued training to maintain these improvements.

He is selfish about his resources around other dogs, especially when it comes to squeaky toys and other items that he cherishes. For that reason, we are not going to place him in a home with other dogs, cats nor children under age 10. He does share his toys well with adult humans.

He will need someone that can afford the extra expense of his dog food and grooming.

He doesn't like being left home alone so an adopter that is home most of the time would be best.

As a housebroken and well-mannered indoor companion, Kiko is ready to bring joy and companionship to his forever home. While he'd love a house with a yard, he's not suited for apartment or condo living.

The Shih Tzu is a small, affectionate dog breed known for its distinctive appearance, with a luxurious double coat, a short muzzle, and large round eyes. Originally bred as companion dogs for Chinese royalty, Shih Tzus are friendly, outgoing, and loving pets. They are known for their playful and charming personality, making them great family pets and suitable for apartment living. With their low shedding coat and adorable face, Shih Tzus are popular among dog lovers worldwide.
