About Bumpass

Bumpass is a delightful male Shih Tzu, around 5 years old, looking for a loving home. He came to us from animal control as a stray in rough shape, but after a grooming, he is now thriving and ready for adoption. This little guy weighs approximately 11.14 pounds and has a sweet, social nature. He gets along well with other dogs and enjoys human company. Bumpass walks beautifully on a leash and has a playful personality. He knows the command "sit" and might be familiar with other commands too. While he has a medium energy level, he thrives best as an indoor companion, as all our dogs do. Potential adopters should be prepared for regular grooming to keep his coat in good condition. It’s important to note that Bumpass is best suited for a home without small children, as he may be overwhelmed in a very active environment. He will make a wonderful pet for someone who can provide him with the care and attention he deserves. If you think you can offer Bumpass the forever home he needs, consider applying to adopt him today. Click apply to start the adoption process.
