About Figaro

Meet Figaro, affectionately known as "Figgy." This charming little guy is a 4-year-old neutered male Shih Tzu mix, weighing in at 16 lbs. Figgy thrives on human company, loving everything from stroller rides to car journeys and outdoor adventures. He truly enjoys being involved in family activities, making him a delightful companion for anyone seeking a social pet. Though he is mellow and affectionate, Figgy has a history of orthopedic trauma that has left him with some mobility and neurological challenges. He’s fully incontinent and needs a consistent routine, but his adorable personality shines through. He coexists well with other dogs but would prefer the calmness of being the only dog or with a compatible housemate. Figgy is crate trained and enjoys his cozy spot at night. His adoption fee is sponsored, making him an even more appealing choice. If you have experience caring for special-needs dogs, Figgy might just be the perfect fit for you. What are you waiting for?
