Shih Tzu Dogs Available for Adoption in Newark, New Jersey

Sanzon is a 4-year-old pup with quite the story. He was found wandering alone in a warehouse parking lot, severely matted and overgrown, leaving us to wonder how long he had been fending for himself. Despite his rough start, Sanzon has proven to be an incredibly loving and devoted companion.

We believe he may be a Shih Tzu mix, though one thing is certain-he is absolutely adorable. Sanzon appears to be both crate trained and potty trained, and he has wonderful manners, including taking treats gently. His favorite place to be is right by your side, earning him the title of ultimate velcro dog. He thrives on human companionship and will happily soak up all the attention you're willing to give.

We have not yet seen Sanzon interact with other dogs, so any potential canine siblings would require a proper meet before adoption. With his affectionate nature and sweet personality, Sanzon is more than ready to leave his past behind and find a loving forever home where he can truly shine.
