Claude - Shih Tzu Dog for Adoption in Rochester, Minnesota

Claude is a 12-week-old Shih Tzu puppy with a heart full of love and a happy-go-lucky personality. He loves everyone he meets and is always ready to make a new friend, whether it's a person or another dog.

Claude enjoys playing with other pups and is already learning to respect the boundaries of the older dogs in his foster home. He's a quiet little guy overall, only barking occasionally when he's trying to convince another dog to play with him.

For such a young puppy, Claude is doing wonderfully with potty training and sleeps through the night in a kennel next to the bed. He thrives on treats, praise, and attention, and he's proving to be a smart little boy who enjoys learning.

Claude bonds quickly with his people and loves being close to them. Because he enjoys companionship so much, he would do best with a family that is home often, can include him in their daily activities, or has a plan for companionship during long workdays.

Like any puppy, Claude will need continued training, patience, and socialization as he grows. In return, you'll get a loving, affectionate best friend who is sure to fill your days with smiles, snuggles, and puppy kisses.

If you're looking for a sweet, friendly puppy to grow up alongside your family, Claude may be the perfect fit!

Claude was bought from a breeder, but his new owner wasn't prepared for a puppy.
He will be getting neutered on Tuesday June 23 and can be adopted Saturday June 27 at our Petsmart adoption event from 10 to 12.
