Lets make it official, apply to adopt! Karev is a 4-year-old, 16 lb Shih Tzu with a soft, cuddly spirit just waiting for the perfect family. Though he may be a bit shy upon meeting new people, it doesn’t take long for Karev’s loving nature to shine—once he feels comfortable, he’ll eagerly come to you for pets and snuggles. He tends to enjoy the company of other dogs and may thrive with a confident canine friend to guide him as he settles into home life. Karev is heartworm positive and has completed treatment, but could need ongoing medical support in the future. He’s also missing one eye, but that hasn’t dampened his zest for life or his sweet disposition. A meet and greet at the shelter is required to ensure the best fit for Karev and any potential resident dogs. If you’re looking for a tender, affectionate little companion who will reward your patience with loyalty and cuddles, Karev may be the one you’ve been looking for. Fun fact: Karev was born under the sign of Sagittarius, which means he may have a naturally cheerful and adventurous side! Before rescue, many of our dogs experienced limited socialization and may need time to acclimate, with older kids often being a great match. Gentle patience helps most adapt quickly, making the rehabilitation journey deeply rewarding. Start your journey together! Apply now.
