Step right up, fabulous friends! 🌟 Meet Starkey, the darling of the canine world! This charming Shih Tzu is truly one-of-a-kind — not your average pooch, but a little aristocrat in a fur coat, ready to live life on his own terms! At 8-9 years young and weighing in at about 10 pounds of pure personality, Starkey is on a mission to find that special someone who understands the value of a bougie lifestyle! 🎩✨ Now, Starkey may sound like a tough little nugget, but beneath that feisty exterior lies a heart full of love 🌈❤️. He’s a cuddle bug who dreams of sitting on laps while receiving luxurious rub downs. Just a warning, though: when it comes to goodbyes, he might give you a growl and a playful nip to keep you from leaving! It’s just his way of saying, "Please don’t go!" 😭💔 This adorable guy is crate trained but requires a gentle nudge to get him inside. And while he’s mastered the art of pee pad training (with the occasional little accident), he deserves a home where he feels cozy and safe. Starkey is a toy enthusiast, often gathering all his playthings onto the couch like a tiny king with his royal treasures! 🎉 🧸 Starkey’s backstory isn’t pretty; he was found as a stray after experiencing severe neglect. 💔 Now, he’s ready to turn the page on his life’s story and embrace the loving home he deserves! He enjoys mealtime as if every morsel is a gourmet feast, so he’ll need a slow feeder to savor his treats. Starkey is dog-friendly but prefers it when fellow canines respect his space — no in-your-face nonsense for this king! 👑 A fenced yard is a must for Starkey, allowing him to strut his stuff in safety. While he hasn’t been tested with cats or kids, it’s recommended that any children in the house be older and dog-savvy, given his little nipper tendencies. So if you’re ready to invite this sweet little prince into your heart and home, don’t wait! Buckle up for a loving journey with Starkey and *apply through the Buddy App* today! 💖✨ He’s ready to find his forever family!
