Shih Tzu Dogs Available for Adoption in Ssl, Utah

Meet Gary, your future tiny shadow and professional cuddle expert!

This handsome little gentleman is an 8-ish-year-old Shih Tzu mix weighing in at a perfectly portable 12 lbs. Don’t let his small size fool you—Gary’s heart is huge and full of love for his people and furry friends.

Gary is the sweetest little dude who just wants to be part of the pack. He gets along great with other dogs and would be thrilled to have a playmate or two in his forever home. His favorite activities include leisurely daily walks, enthusiastic games of tug-of-war, and, of course, cozy nap sessions curled up beside you.

Gary can feel a bit nervous in new situations. But give him a few days, some gentle reassurance, tasty treats, and plenty of scratches, and he’ll blossom into a snuggly, affectionate companion who won’t want to leave your side.

Gary is doing great with pottying outside when kept on a consistent routine. As he settles into a new home, he’ll just need a little patience and guidance to keep up his good habits.

He’s all set to go home – neutered, vaccinated, heartworm negative, microchipped, and even sporting a fresh dental cleaning

If you’re looking for a loyal little buddy with a soft heart and an even softer coat, Gary might just be your perfect match.
