About Jersey

Meet Jersey – a little snowball with a big heart! This adorable, all-white Shih Tzu/Poodle mix weighs just 8 pounds and is here to steal your heart. Jersey arrived with a badly matted coat but has since had a spa day and is looking fresh and fabulous, eager to find his forever home. Despite his small size, Jersey is brimming with potential. He’s working on his manners, learning commands like ‘sit,’ and loves to play with other dogs, making him a great companion. Given his tiny stature, we recommend a home with older, respectful children who know how to handle little pups gently. A securely fenced yard would also be ideal, allowing him to explore safely. Jersey is ready for plenty of cozy moments, tasty treats, and a lifetime of love. If you’re looking for a pint-sized buddy with charm, Jersey could be your perfect match! This little bundle of fluff is waiting for you in Clinton Township, MI. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
