Gilbert is a 7-month-old Shih Tzu weighing 9 pounds. He is a friendly, playful little guy who loves spending time with other dogs. Gilbert enjoys staying active and thrives when he has opportunities to interact, play, and build positive experiences.
As he is still very much a puppy, Gilbert is continuing to learn and grow. The best fit for him will be a home committed to providing consistent training and ongoing socialization to help him develop into a confident, well-mannered companion.
To ensure the best possible match, a meet and greet at our shelter is required for all potential adopters. We want to make sure Gilbert finds the right home - and that your home is the perfect fit for him.

Before being rescued, many of our dogs had limited socialization, so they may need some time to adjust to life as a family pet. Older kids are often a great fit for our dogs, and homes with younger children will be considered based on each dog's individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may take a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of these dogs adapt quite quickly. Being a part of their rehabilitation is a truly rewarding experience. To learn more about mill dogs and start the adoption process, visit our website!
