About Shaker

Meet Shaker, a sweet and cuddly three-year-old Shih Tzu weighing thirteen pounds. He’s mainly low energy but enjoys a bit of playtime, especially with his favorite chick squeaky toy, which he brings to his new home. Shaker loves people and takes a little time to warm up, but a gentle introduction does the trick. He quickly bonded with his foster's dad, showing his affectionate side. While he tends to be indifferent toward other dogs, he’s adaptable in various environments. Potty training is going well; he just needs to go out every four to five hours and wears a belly band indoors. Shaker is crate-trained and settles down quietly after a bit of time. Each day, he becomes more confident on a leash. Calm and quiet in the house, he delights in belly rubs and cuddling up on the couch. Shaker is perfect for a home looking for a low-key companion, making him an excellent fit for an apartment or a house. His foster shares, “He is really sweet, loves belly rubs and cuddles up on the couch.” Click apply to start the adoption process.
