Story
Dublin is a sweet and social young pup with a heart of gold. He came from a backyard breeding situation along with nine other dogs, but you'd never guess it by the way he loves.Although Dublin can be a little shy when meeting new people, he warms up quickly and is affectionate once he feels safe. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and is currently living in a foster home with several canine companions. He’s especially fond of running and romping around the yard with them.He also peacefully coexists with the resident cat, showing no interest—though it's worth noting the cat is calm and doesn't run, which likely helps.Children can be overwhelming for Dublin—he’s not aggressive, but he will retreat and hide when he feels unsure. Because of this, Dublin would thrive in a home with adults or older children who can respect his boundaries.Dublin is crate-trained, sleeps quietly through the night, and doesn’t bark unnecessarily. He’s doing good with house training and is getting close to being fully reliable, but will need continued support and patience.He’s eager to learn and very treat-motivated, which makes him a great candidate for his needed basic manners training. A moderately active home that understands the needs of a dog adjusting to the safe and loving home he deserves would be ideal.If you’re looking for a loyal, playful, and gentle companion who’s ready to blossom with a little love and structure, Dublin may be your perfect match.Name: DublinBreed: Shih Tzu/HavaneseSex: MaleAge: 2 years (estimated)Weight: 15.0Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Negative on recent testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:Good with Children: Over 12Good with Dogs: Yes!Good with Cats: Yes, dog savvyAdoption Fee: $550.00 (includes transport fee when applicable)Location of dog currently: Texas IMPORTANT INFORMATION - Paws New England is a foster-based rescue; our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south & New England.
