About Rootbeer

Meet Rootbeer, the small dog with a big heart! He's back on the adoption circuit after a brief stint with a new family who faced unexpected challenges. At about 6 years old, this Yorkie/Shih Tzu mix weighs around 10 lbs and is ready for his forever home. Rootbeer is spirited and full of life, demonstrating that age is just a number. He carries himself with the confidence of a king, so he prefers to keep all four paws on the ground instead of lounging on laps or couches. Rootbeer coexists well with other dogs and even cats as long as they respect his space. His love for people makes him an excellent companion dog, but he doesn’t do well with young children. If you're looking for a furry friend who brings a special kind of joy, Rootbeer might just be your match! Email Jonesm4318@gmail.com to meet him today.
