Niles is about a year old and an intriguing blend of Shih Tzu, Yorkie, Cocker Spaniel, and Lhasa Apso—at least that's the best guess. There’s a sweet, gentle nature to him, though he starts off shy. Once he warms up, his playful side comes out in the most endearing way. At about 18 pounds, he’s likely fully grown and fits comfortably in the small breed category. Niles has been through a little lately—he needed a shave because of matting and fleas, but his big, floppy ears and distinct nose still give him plenty of charm and promise he’ll look even better as his coat grows back. He’s good with other dogs, housebroken, and crate trained, ticking off a lot of the practical boxes for a new home. Niles is on track with his medical care and has been neutered and vaccinated. He's a Capricorn, so expect a loyal, steady companion once settled. If you’re in Boca Raton, FL, and looking for a steady little friend who just needs a secure, loving place, Niles is waiting. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
