About Sunshinelittle Wookie

Sunshinelittle Wookie is a delightful little dog waiting for a loving home. This charming 2-year-old Shih Tzu, weighing about 8.8 lbs, is an absolute sweetheart. She has a unique, charming appearance that some might describe as a mix between a Wookie and a mop head, especially until her grooming appointment can give her a fresh look. Sunshine was surrendered to the Hico Animal Shelter after her owner moved out of state. Fortunately, she's friendly and gets along well with children, cats, and other dogs. While she's crate trained, Sunshine is still learning to fully house train, using the doggie door at the shelter but needing a little more time to catch on outdoors. She's up to date on all her vaccinations, including Rabies and Bordatella, is heartworm negative, microchipped, and on preventative treatments. Sunshine is just looking for a cozy lap to cuddle in and someone who will love her. If that sounds like you, reach out to learn more! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
