About Harry

Meet Harry! He’s an exuberant 3-year-old Shih Tzu who is looking for a forever home alongside his brother, Kane. These two are inseparable, sharing everything from playtime to naptime. Harry is the more outgoing of the pair, always ready to cuddle in your lap and soak up attention. His cheeky personality is infectious, making every moment spent with him a joy. Kane, on the other hand, has a quieter demeanor. He takes his time warming up to new people, but once he does, his sweet nature shines through. His favorite pastime is lounging beside you and enjoying a nice belly rub. Both boys are housetrained and sleep comfortably in their crate at night. They’re eager learners who respond well to positive reinforcement, and they walk beautifully on a leash. While they enjoy outings, shorter walks are preferable for their little legs. If you're ready to bring double the love and joy into your life, Harry and Kane are eagerly awaiting their chance to fill your home with warmth and companionship. Will you be the family they’ve been dreaming of?
