Pocholo is a 10-year-old male Shih Tzu with a gentle spirit and a heart full of love. Surrendered by his family when they were no longer able to care for him, Pocholo is now hoping to find a devoted home where he can be someone's cherished companion. This sweet senior is affectionate, calm, well-mannered, and house trained. Pocholo loves being close to his people - whether he's curling up beside you on the couch or quietly following you from room to room. Pocholo is social and friendly with new people and gets along well with other dogs. He would be happy sharing his home with a respectful canine companion, but he'd also be perfectly content as your one-and-only, soaking up all the love and attention! Pocholo has a seizure disorder that has been very well managed with medication, and he has been seizure-free for years. He will need an adopter committed to continuing his medication and routine care. Before Pocholo arrived at ARF, he needed surgery after swallowing a peach pit, but he has healed beautifully and is feeling great. At 10 years old, Pocholo brings all the best qualities of a mature dog: a calm presence, loving nature, and deep appreciation for companionship. He's not looking for adventure; he's looking for connection, comfort, and a home where he can feel safe and adored. If you're ready to open your heart to a loyal little companion who will repay you with endless affection, Pocholo is the perfect pup for you!
