Yorkshire Terrier and Shih Tzu Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet adorable Ivan, an 8 month old, 8 pound neutered Yorkie/Shih Tzu Mix.

Ivan is a curious and playful dog who loves to explore and have fun. Despite his shyness, once he warms up, he’s all about cuddles and games. Ivan is housetrained, though he appreciates gentle reminders. He is also potty pad trained. His energetic and funny nature makes every day brighter. Whether it’s a game of fetch or a quiet evening snuggled up, Ivan is ready to be a loving companion.
Ivan is good with kids but he can be a bit nippy with those puppy nibbles. Respectful kids over age 8 would be best.

Ivan does not appear to be suited for an apartment since he will let everyone know if he hears anything.
Ivan also gets along great with the other small dogs in his foster home. However it can take him a few days to warm up. Cat compatibility is unknown. Adopt Ivan and discover the joy of a forever playful and affectionate friend.

Ivan’s adoption fee $495.

Ivan is up to date on shots, neutered, microchipped, fecal checked, heartworm negative and current on heartworm and flea prevention.
