Meet Yuki, the delightful 9-year-old Shih Tzu mix with a heart full of love waiting to be discovered! 💖 While he may initially be a little wary of strangers, give him a bit of chicken 🍗 and some patience, and watch as he melts into a lovebug right before your eyes! This mellow fella just wants to lounge in the sun 🌞 and take cozy naps next to someone he adores. Yuki might be a gentleman at heart, but don’t let that fool you—he’s secretly a playful spirit, always ready for a game of fetch with his stuffed animals! 🎾 He walks like a champ on the leash and has a unique ability to let you know when someone’s too close for comfort. Yes, he prefers to play it cool, but once Yuki warms up to you, he’s all in! He’s the perfect blend of chill and play, enjoying car rides with the enthusiasm that might just startle a drive-thru cashier! 🚗 And while he’s social with other dogs, he knows how to respect boundaries—especially when it comes to older, grumpy pooches vs. energetic pups. 🐶 Just a heads up! Yuki may show a little food guarding, so it’s best to feed him separately for peace of mind. For those ready to be Yuki's special someone, patience is key! Older, respectful children who understand boundaries will make great companions for him. He’s currently on a little Prozac to help with his anxieties, but he really thrives in a loving and understanding environment. 🥰 Once trust is established, prepare to be showered with unparalleled affection. Trust us, Yuki’s gaze is something you won’t forget! Gently remind yourself: love takes time, but oh, how rewarding it is! 🥳 If you’re looking for a mellow buddy who will fill your life with sweetness, Yuki is the one! This cuddle-loving canine is crate trained, potty trained, and has excellent house manners. He may take a little time to warm up, but once he does, he’ll be sleeping soundly until you return. There’s a world of love waiting for you, so what are you waiting for? Ready to bring Yuki home? Please make sure to *apply through the Buddy App* to start this beautiful journey together!
