🌟 Meet JD, your future cuddle buddy and lovable little rascal! This delightful 8(ish) year-old Shih Tzu is eagerly searching for a forever home that understands his unique personality and quirks. JD’s past is a bit of a mystery since he came to us as a stray, but we've discovered a lot about this charming little fella. First off, JD prefers to be the star of the show—he needs a home where he can bask in the love of just one or two adult humans! 👫 He’s not a fan of sharing the spotlight with other pets, as he can be a bit selective about who he forms bonds with. Now, don’t get it twisted—JD is a sweetheart at heart! He enjoys engaging playtime with his favorite stuffed toys and loves to cuddle up on a lap (when he’s in the mood!). 🧸 This little guy also relishes the freedom of a fenced-in yard, where he can dash around, play fetch, or simply soak up the sunshine. ☀️ However, he isn't always keen on being petted and can get agitated when attention becomes a bit too much—so knowing when to give him space is key! Here’s the scoop: JD is a traditionalist when it comes to his comforts. He prefers not to be on furniture, as he likes to have his own comfy dog beds—a true little king! 👑🍌 He has a soft spot for banana and carrot treats—yum! While he’s a good boy about accepting treats from hand, it’s best to let him enjoy his meals or chew on his favorite bones in peace. JD has been crate trained and knows some basic commands, but he really needs a dedicated owner who can consistently work with him. 🎓 He thrives on positive reinforcement and needs someone to gently remind him he’s not the boss—while showering him with love, of course! 💕 For walks, sometimes he’s all in for a leashed stroll, but other days—let’s just say he prefers the freedom of his yard! Here’s the heartwarming truth: JD has so much love to give, but he likes to choose when he’s ready to show it! 💖 We are firmly seeking an adopter who’s committed to his well-being and willing to work hand-in-paw with him. And guess what? We’re happy to help with training sessions if you’re keen to keep working with him! JD is ready to be loved—as long as he can call you his one and only human!
