JD is an 8-year-old Shih Tzu looking for an experienced adult home where he can be the only pet. He came in as a stray, so his past is a mystery, but his personality has unfolded with time. JD picks his people carefully. When he bonds, he shows sweetness—curling up in a favorite dog bed or enthusiastically tossing stuffed toys in the air. He loves playing fetch in a securely fenced yard and has real energy for a dog his age, but walks only appeal to him some days. Crate trained and familiar with basic commands, JD thrives with clear rules. He gets agitated with too much petting or being moved from his spot, so he needs someone comfortable setting boundaries and understanding when to leave him be. JD has no patience for other animals and does best with one or two adults who understand that his affection is best on his terms. Bananas and carrots win him over, and he’ll take treats gently. Positive reinforcement works, but his new owner must stay consistent. JD comes with an offer for training support—a commitment to making sure both sides succeed in the match. Born October 21, he’s a Libra, bringing just the right balance of independence and affection. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
