Fozzie - Shih Tzu and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Oak Creek, Wisconsin

Fozzie needs a forever family!

Fozzie is my favorite kind of dog, what I like to call wonderfully weird. Let’s start with the fact that he has no teeth. It’s true, he recently had to get all of them pulled because he had exposed roots. So now his tongue hangs out and his chin gets a bit wet. Then it kind of looks like he has a handlebar mustache. And he has a very feisty attitude. If things are new, he can be a little scared, and he will let you know in a very feisty way. My husband says it’s a bit reminiscent of a TanTan in Star Wars. But two seconds later he wags his tail and wants to play! He’s just a hoot.



He also likes to snuggle, gets along great with other dogs, but takes a little time to get comfortable with men. A patient one will win him over, though. He is 7 years old, perhaps a terrier mix, and was found as a stray in Texas . This guy will bring character, laughs and a wonderfully weird love into your life!

While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
