Panda arrived with hope and his own set of Xrays—because apparently he’s the kind of gentleman who brings his medical records to the first meeting. This handsome 6yearold Shih Tzu mix was surrendered to a shelter, and it didn’t take long to see why he needed help: Panda requires hip surgery. But here’s the good news—he’s safe now, he’s getting the care he needs, and he’s facing it all with the sweetest, most unshakeable spirit. Panda is a blackandwhite heartmelter with an adorable face that could convince even the grumpiest human to smile. He’s friendly, he’s happy, and he radiates that soft, gentle sweetness that makes you want to scoop him up and promise him the world. He loves people, enjoys other dogs, and has that calm, grateful energy of a pup who knows he’s been given a second chance. Despite everything he’s been through, Panda is pure love—affectionate, trusting, and ready to start the next chapter of his life with someone who will cherish him the way he deserves. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a brave little soul and a whole lot of charm, Panda is your guy. Apply to adopt him at www.rescuedogsrocknyc.org.
