Why I need a new home

Relocating

My story

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


Copito is a 3-year-old Shih Tzu with a strong, expressive personality. He is loving and loyal, and does best in a home where he isn’t left alone for long periods. When alone too long, he can become anxious (crying/scratching doors).

He is very attached to his family and especially bonded to my wife. He follows you everywhere, makes eye contact, and likes sleeping close to us. He is house-trained and goes outside for walks every morning and evening.

Like many small dogs, Copito can be territorial. He loves toys and will bring them to you; he may growl or nip if you try to take a toy away—more like intense play/guarding than true aggression. He has never bitten or shown aggression toward strangers.

He loves wearing his walking vest, enjoys toys, and thrives as an emotional companion. Best match: a calm adult or couple who can offer time, affection, and stability. He responds to basic commands in Spanish and English (mostly Spanish at home).
