Hey world! My name is Snow. I’m a 5-year-old, 13-lb white Shih Tzu with lots of spunk packed into a small, fluffy body. I’m incredibly sweet, love playing with toys, and I’m great at entertaining myself and inviting my humans to join in the fun. Belly rubs are one of my favorite things, I enjoy going for walks, and car rides are a blast—especially when my ears get to flap in the breeze. I’m affectionate, playful, and truly a one-of-a-kind little guy. My story has a sad chapter. I ended up at Forsyth Animal Shelter as a bite case after a child picked me up and didn’t respect my boundaries. Because of that, and because children make me uncomfortable, I need a home without kids where my space will be respected. The shelter environment was overwhelming for me, and I was scared and anxious there. However, once I arrived at Faithful Friends (and after a much-needed grooming session!), my true personality came shining through. I’m back to being the spunky, adorable, affectionate boy I was always meant to be. The humans at the sanctuary and the groomer both said I am handleable and have picked me up multiple times with no issues. I just need to know what to expect, and I do just fine! I play nicely with other dogs and have been polite and curious when around cats. I’d be a wonderful match for an adult household looking for a small companion with a big personality and a whole lot of love to give. I've had my first round of adult vaccinations, have been dewormed, am heartworm negative, and am on heartworm preventative. I will be neutered and microchipped on February 3rd and will be available to bring home after.
