About Dick

Meet Dick! Looking for a pint-sized shadow who thinks your lap is the best place in the world? Dick is your guy! This adorable 7-month-old Shih Tzu/Terrier mix may be small, but he's full of personality and has a heart full of love to share. Dick seeks attention in the sweetest way possible. He loves being close to his people, soaking up affection, and chatting about his day. His happiest moments are spent curled up in a lap, taking in all the love he can. He’s house-trained and crate-trained, gets along well with cats and other dogs, but would thrive as your one-and-only companion. Dick is especially suited for an older couple or a family with older children. This little guy is still a young pup, so he may mark in new environments. He has one important preference: he doesn't like having his neck touched from behind, so his family should respect that boundary. If you're in search of a small companion with a big personality who loves lap time and has plenty to say, Dick is ready to meet you! Think you are the one? Submit an application!
