About Boots

Boots is about 10 lbs of total cuteness! This little Shih Tzu, at 2 years old, has a playful spirit and is full of life. He enjoys toys, from stuffies to small balls, and is still learning the nuances of fetch. Confidence defines him, and if you're seated, be prepared for Boots to leap into your lap without hesitation! Coming from a challenging situation where his previous owner had too many dogs, Boots has managed to keep his sweet nature intact. He gets along well with other dogs, especially those in his foster home, which range in weight from 10 to 30 lbs. He might be a bit uncertain around larger dogs, but his friendly demeanor shines through. Boots has adjusted well since arriving at Humane Tomorrow. He loves receiving attention and enjoys back scratches and cuddles. We're currently working on his leash training using a harness, and while he's still mastering house training, he prefers snuggling up in his doggie bed or, if you allow it, on your bed at night. Boots will brighten your day with his loving smile and gentle demeanor. If you think you can offer him the attention he craves, don’t hesitate to apply!
