About Sir

Meet Sir! Don’t let the fancy name fool you—Sir is a fun-loving, easygoing Shih Tzu mix looking for his forever home. Found roaming on his own near an apartment building in the Twin Cities, his original owner didn’t come for him. Now with No Dog Left Behind, he’s ready for a fresh start. Sir got a much-needed groom and is feeling quite dapper. He’s friendly and well-mannered, with a variety of skills including being mostly potty trained, kennel trained, and a great walker on a leash. Sir rides well in the car, too. He gets along well with other dogs and people of all ages. Like many small dogs, Sir does have a bit of a voice, especially when he sees something interesting outside. He cherishes his toys, especially his favorite stuffy, Lamby. Sir loves playing fetch or spending time outdoors. Initially more of an independent spirit, he's become quite affectionate and now enjoys curling up in your lap for some quality time. If you’re searching for a sweet companion who loves being part of the family, Sir could be your perfect match. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
