Story
Tuddles is a loving 7.5-year-old Bichon Frise/Shih Tzu mix (Teddy Bear breed), weighing 19 lbs. My daughter & I have cared for him since he was 8 weeks. He’s a well-behaved companion who adores people & thrives on belly rubs. While he gets along with most dogs, he may pull on the leash when larger dogs are nearby. A firm 'leave it' and a tightened leash help manage this behavior, which likely stems from an incident with a German Shepherd when he was 3. He loves running off-leash in grassy areas & playing indoor fetch with his plush toys, returning them on command. He’d do well in a home with or without other pets, whether it’s another small dog or even a cat. Raised on a farm, he’s not crate-trained but enjoys sleeping on a plush blanket or dog bed. Some quirks to keep in mind: Tuddles isn’t fond of rain and may need some encouragement to go outside during wet weather. He barks to alert when someone is at the door. He is a playful & loyal companion who would bring joy to a loving home.
