About Howie

Meet Howie, an irresistibly cute three-year-old Shih Tzu weighing 12.5 pounds. This little man joined us from a local shelter as an unclaimed stray. Howie has a unique right front leg that he was born with, but don't let that fool you; he's not in any pain and runs around like a champ! Howie is a joy to be around, bringing laughter and curiosity wherever he goes. This friendly fellow enjoys the company of people and other pets alike. He's great on a leash, meaning he doesn't need a fenced yard, although he'd happily enjoy one if available. Currently in Lawrenceville, GA, Howie is ready for his forever home. He's fully vetted—neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up to date on vaccinations and deworming. The adoption fee is $300. Ready to make a life-long friend? Apply to adopt Howie today!
