We have a blast together, exploring our surroundings and engaging in friendly play. I may be a little shy, but once I warm up to you, you'll see my loyal and loving side. I'm the perfect companion for someone who understands my need for personal space, yet appreciates my love for other dogs. Adopting me means gaining a friend who will respect your space, cherish your companionship, and bring joy to your life with my playful antics with other dogs.

Story
Meet Wizard, a 6 year old, 8 lb Shih Tzu boy! You may remember he was rescued by a Good Samaritan after being seen thrown from a car. We named him Wizard because he sometimes just suddenly appears next to you! He is good with other dogs but we have not seen him with cats. Wizard is adorable, however he is a SPECIAL ADOPTABLE! Wizard prefers women to men — probably due to his prior experience and we are seeking an EXPERIENCED ADOPTER who has dealt with behavioral issues and a NO KIDS home! Wizard quickly bonds to his human and is a velcro dog once he knows and trusts you.- until then he requires a go-slow approach and ideally it is best to have a "let him come to you" attitude - afterall he has been through quite a traumatic experience and we suspect his past living conditions were not much better nor kinder. With that said, he is an ace snuggler and likes to be as close as possible while on the couch. He has excellent house manners and has free roam of his foster home when his humans are out. He enjoys joining his humans on outings and does great in the car. He also loves to go on walks and is a great on a leash. Wizard is a low key guy but will alert you to any unknown activity outside by barking. He would do best in a single family quiet home. Our cutie patootie has a selective appetite — he must have been fed people food and will turn down dog treats. We are confident over time he can be reacquainted with food and treats more appropriate for dogs. His ADOPTION FEE is $300

These pups are in Arcadia, Florida too!
