About Shotzie

Meet Shotzie, an adorable 5-month-old Poodle mix who is just starting his journey to find a forever home.

At 22 lbs, Shotzie is playful, loves cuddles, and is beginning to master his walks. He's a bit shy, experiencing new sights and sounds for the first time, so patience and kindness will help him flourish. A fenced-in yard and obedience training will set him up to become a wonderful companion.
