Blinker is a charming 1-2 year old, 15-pound Havanese/Shih Tzu mix with a non-shedding coat. This gentle dog was born with one eye that doesn't function correctly, yet it adds a unique touch to his character—sometimes, it looks like he’s giving a perpetual wink. He’s affectionate and loves to be near his people, often choosing a cozy spot for a nap rather than needing constant attention. His day starts around 7 a.m. with a morning potty break and a brisk 20-30 minute walk, which he thoroughly enjoys, exploring every interesting bush and patch of grass. After breakfast and some treat-driven training, Blinker happily settles beside his person and snoozes. He repeats this routine at dinner time with another evening stroll, playtime, and curling up close to his loved ones at night. Though he can be a bit nervous in new settings, it doesn’t take long for Blinker's affectionate nature to shine through once he feels safe. He’s a loyal companion, following you around as a devoted little shadow, ready for cuddles. Blinker has met dogs, enjoys their company, and has shown he is calm around children, opting for gentle retreat when playtime gets too energetic. He’s well-mannered and does not bark excessively, only giving a brief alert when guests arrive before welcoming them with friendly enthusiasm. Blinker's full personality emerges in a loving environment, where he appreciates the comforts of a blanket, some good walks, and the presence of his people. He’s housetrained and adapting well, requiring continued support in crate training. With his endearing wink and affectionate disposition, Blinker is ready to bring warmth and companionship to your life. Don’t miss out on this sweet boy—apply to adopt him today!
