About Raggs

Meet Raggs, a delightful 1-year-old Shih Tzu mix with a heartwarming story. When Raggs arrived, his fur was so matted that he couldn't see well. Thankfully, after a much-needed bath and haircut, his charming features were revealed, including his lovely long eyelashes and adorable overbite. This sweet boy adores his humans, following them around like Velcro. He's great about bedtime, happily snoozing through the night in his cozy doggy bed. Raggs is housetrained and walks nicely on a leash, although he might get a bit distracted by squirrels. With a penchant for zooming around in the backyard, he’ll need a secure, fenced space to let loose. Raggs enjoys laps around the yard, followed by well-deserved naps or lounging at your feet. He's good with other small dogs but is still figuring out how he feels about cats. With a gentle demeanor and a love for treats, he truly is a little gentleman ready for his forever family. If you're looking to welcome a loving companion into your home, Raggs is waiting for you!
