About Johnny

Johnny is a 6-year-old male Shih Tzu who came to us as a local surrender after a neglect situation. In need of some serious TLC and grooming, he’s transformed into a delightful companion. He wasn’t thrilled about the grooming process, but now he feels fantastic. Just look at him! He's been a dream in his foster home, happily getting along with the two larger resident dogs. His favorite activities include going for walks, car rides, belly rubs, and being close to his people for all the love and snuggles. While he prefers not to be crated, Johnny has had free roam of his foster space and has done wonderfully—no accidents or destructive behavior. He’s ready for a fresh start with someone who will provide the love and comfort he deserves. Could Johnny be the little companion you've been looking for? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
