✨ Meet Gene! This adorable male Shih Tzu mix, between 3 to 5 years old and weighing 14 lbs, is ready to find his forever home! 🌈 Gene’s journey has been quite the adventure. He was rescued from a heartbreaking cruelty case, where he lived alongside more than 80 dogs in inhumane conditions, lacking love and socialization. 😢🐾 Can you imagine? Together, they faced a tough start with parasites, fleas, and a lack of basic care. But now, Gene is ready to shine! 💖 While Gene can be a bit timid and shy, he’s made wonderful progress in his foster home. They’ve shown him that love can be warm and cuddly. If you’re looking for a furry companion who needs a little extra TLC, Gene is your guy! 🥰 With a gentle touch and heaps of patience, he’ll learn to trust you and bloom into a loving family member. 🌼 Gene adores the company of other dogs, as it’s the only life he’s known. Having a furry friend around will be essential for him to learn the ropes of family life. Plus, he comes with a special requirement: a fully fenced yard to safely explore and play! 🏡🐕 If your heart is bursting with love, Gene can’t wait to meet you! Don’t wait—apply to adopt this precious soul through the Buddy App. Together, you’ll write a story of trust, love, and companionship! ❤️✨
