Meet Berlioz, a shy little sweetheart seeking the right home to call his own. This 2-year-old black and brown Yorkie mix weighs about 10 pounds and carries a quiet charm with his scruffy coat and soft, watchful eyes. He’s not the type to demand attention, but he quickly leaves a lasting impression. Berlioz arrived at the shelter with three other dogs from his previous home, and the sudden changes have made him a bit uncertain. He prefers to observe before diving in, but once he feels safe, his gentle and affectionate nature starts to shine. This loyal companion prefers a calm, patient household that understands shy dogs and offers him the space he needs to build trust. Give him some time, and you’ll find him snuggling up on the couch asking to sit in your lap. He gets along well with other dogs and enjoys their company, while also being good with cats, although he may initially be a bit nervous. A mellow cat would be best, allowing him to settle in comfortably. Berlioz is fully house trained and is working on his leash skills. At just 10 pounds, he fits perfectly for cozy laps and peaceful evenings. With love, patience, and some consistency, Berlioz has incredible potential to become a devoted little shadow who’ll follow you everywhere. If you have a soft spot for the underdogs and the patience to help a timid pup come out of his shell, Berlioz is ready to meet you. Click apply to start the adoption process.
