Story
Shong is a sweet and adorable 5-year-old male Bichon Poodle mix, weighing about 6 kg (13 lbs) with a small and compact frame. His charming looks and affectionate personality make him the perfect companion for anyone seeking a loving, playful dog. Unfortunately, due to personal circumstances, Shong’s previous owner was unable to care for him any longer, and he was surrendered to a shelter. Now, Shong is ready for a fresh start and is looking for a new family to love him.
Through his time in training, Shong has shown great adaptability, though he may still miss his previous owner from time to time. However, Shong is a people-loving dog, and he thrives on human interaction. He enjoys giving and receiving affection and often shows his playful side with sweet, endearing gestures. While he bonds closely with his humans, he is not as interested in other dogs, preferring quality time with his family.
Despite being 5 years old, Shong still has a playful, curious nature. He occasionally gets into mischief, like tearing up tissues or playing around when left alone—this is simply his youthful, energetic side coming out. While there are no major behavioral issues, it's important to keep an eye on him, especially when adjusting to a new environment, as he may express his excitement or curiosity in different ways. Since Shong is a male, he might mark in new places, so it’s recommended to use a belly band to help him adjust to his surroundings.
Shong is mostly pad-trained but may have occasional accidents in unfamiliar places. Fortunately, he loves walks, so with regular outdoor potty breaks, he can be trained to consistently go outside. Walks are an excellent opportunity for him to bond with his family, and he enjoys meeting other dogs, which helps him develop his social skills further.
When it comes to noise, Shong will occasionally bark, but he quickly responds to commands like "stop" and will immediately stop barking and come to his owner. This shows that he respects his humans and values the connection with them, a wonderful trait for building a strong bond.
Shong is currently on a chicken-based diet, but considering his tear stains and past ear issues, allergy-friendly food would be a better choice for his long-term health and well-being.
Shong is now eagerly waiting for a new family who will give him the love and attention he deserves. Life with Shong will be filled with joy, affection, and plenty of happy moments. If you’re looking for a companion who will bring warmth and happiness into your home, Shong might just be the perfect fit for you!
