About Fabian

Meet Fabian, your potential new best friend and personal shadow! This charming 4-year-old Shih Tzu weighs in at 15 pounds and is the ultimate companion. Fabian has perfected the art of following you around, ensuring you never feel alone. Would you like company while you cook or go to the bathroom? He’s there, quietly supervising. Fabian is typically a quiet little guy, and you’ll mostly hear him when it’s time for dinner, as he takes on the role of Official Dinner Announcer. His gentle demeanor makes him a great match for a relaxed home. He enjoys the simpler pleasures of life, such as car rides and cuddles, though he’ll retreat to his own bed nearby when comfortable. While he’s friendly with cats and tends to shy away from competing with other dogs, he prefers a calmer space without young children. Having recovered from flea dermatitis, which is no longer an issue thanks to proper care, Fabian is fully vetted: neutered, heartworm negative, and microchipped. If you're seeking a sweet, low-key companion who loves to be near you, Fabian is ready to join your life. Start your journey together! Apply now.
