About Brian

Brian is a spirited Shih Tzu mix who recently joined our rescue family along with his three siblings after the loss of their owner. Although this handsome boy carries some sadness, his warmth and eagerness to connect with people shine through. At just one year old, Brian weighs in at about 19 pounds and has a gentle, loving demeanor. He's good with dogs and thrives in social settings, always excited to be involved in activities. While he’s still honing his leash manners, his enthusiasm for exploration is palpable, making each outing an adventure. Brian has a grooming appointment coming up, and his flowing Shih Tzu coat will surely look fantastic post-styling. He's also neutered and fully vaccinated, making him ready for his forever home once the recovery is complete. With all he's been through, what he needs now is a family to nurture him back to fullness. Those looking for a loyal companion who will brighten every day with love should consider Brian; he’s a gem waiting for his second chance. He is currently in Oroville, WA, and applications are welcome. This could be the start of something paw-some.
