My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

🐾 Meet Biddles — A Big Personality in a Small Shih Tzu Body! 🐾

Biddles is a 1–2-year-old Shih Tzu who is ready for a fresh start and a family to call his own. This adorable fluffball came from a backyard breeder case, where he unfortunately lived outside his whole life. But despite his rough start, Biddles is eager to learn what it means to be a loved indoor dog!

💙 About Biddles:
✔ Neutered
✔ Microchipped
✔ Fully vaccinated (Rabies, Distemper, Lepto & Bordetella)
✔ Will receive his final distemper & lepto boosters on November 26th — then he’s officially ready to go home!
✔ Flea-treated & dewormed
✔ Heartworm negative
✔ On monthly flea/tick & heartworm prevention
✔ Crate trained
✔ Previous eye ulcer fully treated

Because he wasn’t socialized properly in his early life, Biddles can be a bit bossy and unsure in new situations — but that’s just part of his charm! He has a huge personality packed into a tiny frame, and once he trusts you, he’ll show you his silly, spunky, and affectionate side.

🚽 Potty Training:
Biddles lived outside before coming to us, so he is not potty trained yet. However, he is crate trained and will thrive with structure, patience, and positive reinforcement. He truly wants to learn — he just needs someone willing to guide him!

💛 The Home He Needs:
Biddles will do best with adopters who understand that he’s still learning how to be a pet. With time, routine, and gentle guidance, he will blossom into a fantastic companion.
