Sylvester is a 10-year-old Shih Tzu mix with a classic “grumpy old man” personality and a soft spot for a calm, respectful home. He’s independent, low-maintenance, and prefers to do his own thing rather than be constantly handled or fussed over. While he may not be the cuddly, pick-me-up type, he thrives with people who understand and respect his boundaries. Sylvester is house trained, heartworm negative, and gets along well with other dogs and cats. He would do best in a home with older children who understand how to give him space. He can be selective with men, so slow introductions are important. Ideal Home: Sylvester is looking for a quiet, laid-back home where he can relax, coexist peacefully, and be loved for who he is. He’s the perfect companion for someone who appreciates a more independent dog and doesn’t expect constant interaction.
