Here's what the humans have to say about me:
🐾 Big Red 🐾
Shih Tzu | Neutered Male | DOB: April 5, 2024
Big Red is a sweet Shih Tzu who came to us from a backyard breeding situation and is now looking for a patient, loving forever home.
Because of his background, Big Red was not well socialized early on and can be nervous at first. He is also not fully potty trained yet and will need a home willing to continue working with him using consistency and positive reinforcement. Since arriving at the rescue on December 17, 2025, Big Red has made wonderful progress and has really started to come out of his shell.
When Big Red arrived, he had fleas and was heavily matted. He has since been fully treated, groomed, and is now feeling much more comfortable. He is a very sweet boy who enjoys affection once he feels safe and settled.
🩺 Medical & Vetting:
• Neutered
• Microchipped
• Heartworm tested negative
• Rabies vaccinated
• Distemper (DHPP) vaccinated
• Leptospirosis vaccinated
• Bordetella vaccinated
🐶 Other Pets:
Big Red has done well with other dogs. He has not been tested with cats or children.
🏡 Ideal Home:
Big Red would do best in a calm, patient home that understands he is still learning what life in a home is like. With time, routine, and love, he will continue to build confidence and make a wonderful companion.
