About Winter

Meet Winter, an affectionate Shih Tzu mix who is about 5.5 years old, born on December 18, 2020. She came to Beagles and Bentleys with her buddy Coffee, and they must be adopted together. Winter loves attention, cuddles, and pets, and she has a playful side when it comes to squeaky toys and zoomies outside. Winter is crate trained and knows commands like sit, stay, and come. She's also food motivated, especially when it involves wet food mixed with her treats. Up to date on vaccinations, dewormed, and microchipped, Winter is ready for a loving home in Richmond, VA. It's important to note that all adopters should be prepared for ongoing training and socialization. Winter has not yet been spayed, but this will be scheduled as part of the adoption process.
