About Doogie

Meet Doogie, the charming Shih Tzu mix puppy! At just three months old, he’s an energetic and playful little guy, ready to bring endless joy to your home. He came to us shortly after birth, following his mom's rescue from the streets. Though we’re not sure about his dad’s breed, his sweet Shih Tzu heritage shines through. Puppies like Doogie need plenty of patience, training, and socialization as they grow. Remember, they require a 15-year commitment and regular grooming to keep them looking their best. Currently, Doogie is on the mend from ringworm and some puppy pyoderma, but he is no longer contagious and is responding well to treatment. If you're interested in welcoming Doogie into your family, please apply online. We're excited to help you schedule a meet and greet soon!
