About Sydney

Meet Sydney, a charming 1-year-old Shih Tzu currently living in a foster home with five other doggy pals of various breeds. Sydney gets along well with other dogs, and when he encountered cats at an adoption event, he showed little interest. Initially a bit shy, he warms up quickly and loves to soak up attention from his humans. He's been making great strides in potty training, often heading straight to the door when he needs to go out. With continued training, he's bound to excel even more. Sydney also does well in his crate, sleeping through the night without issue. Not only is he neutered and microchipped, but he's also up to date on his vaccines. If you're seeking a cuddly little companion, Sydney could be the perfect fit for you! What are you waiting for?
