Pumpkin is a lovely 8-year-old Shih Tzu who embodies sweetness. After landing in a California shelter last year due to health issues, he received the care he needed and had a brief stint in a home before the loss of his adopter brought him back into rescue. He's affectionate without being clingy and finds joy in toys and chews, happily entertaining himself for hours. Pumpkin enjoys short walks but is limited by a deformed front leg, so longer strolls aren't feasible for him. Following surgery for bladder stones, it's advisable for him to have filtered water and a low phosphorus diet to maintain his health. Potty trained and ready for love, Pumpkin is searching for a forever home where he can live out his days without the fear of being rehomed again. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
