About Mork

Meet Mork, a one-year-old male Shih Tzu who has a bit of a spicy personality but is also very timid. He enjoys finding cozy corners to hide in and has some quirky habits like marking his territory and being a bit vocal when he's scared. Yet, he absolutely adores his foster dad, Mike, showing that he can form strong bonds with the right person. Mork is easily startled and needs a patient and understanding home where he can gradually learn to trust. He thrives in a calm environment without children, as they make him anxious. Other dogs in the household may help him feel more secure and come out of his shell. Currently, he’s making good progress with potty training and getting along with the other dogs in his foster home. Mork is scheduled for neutering and some minor surgery soon, after which he’ll be ready to find his forever home. He might require a little extra time and attention, but the right adopter will see the potential in this sweet boy. Help Mork discover the safe world that awaits him. Give him the patience and love he deserves. Apply today!
