Pooh Bear - Shih Tzu and Lhasa Apso Dog for Adoption in Plain City, Ohio

Meet Pooh Bear!

Pooh Bear is an adorable 5-6-year-old, 19-pound Shih Tzu/Lhasa Apso mix who has quickly shown us what a sweet, social little guy he really is!

Pooh Bear came to Canine Collective after getting a much-needed fresh start, and he's been gaining confidence ever since. He enjoys being close to his people, happily hops into the passenger seat for a ride, and has become quite the little star at our adoption events. He's now attended several-including a very busy, noisy event with lots of people and dogs-and handled it all beautifully. He's also done great meeting kids! Back at the kennel, we're seeing that same confidence continue to grow. The little guy who was uncertain when he first arrived is now much more comfortable and ready to greet the world.

At 19 pounds, Pooh Bear is a great companion size-small enough to curl up beside you but big enough for plenty of adventures. He's neutered, vetted, and ready for the best part of his fresh start: a home and family of his own. Could Pooh Bear be your guy? Apply at caninecollective.org.
