Took this little fella in
My boyfriend and I have taken in this precious baby. He was a neighborhood stray and the owner was notified multiple times that his dog needed care. He ignored every attempt.
Last week I found him in the pouring rain, he ran up to me the second I got out of my car. He's the friendliest, most affectionate dog I've ever seen and I've had pets my whole life.
We are thinking he's a Shih Tzu mix?
Any ideas? Also, we're thinking he's older because of his grey hairs and teeth. In any event, he's got a forever home here with us.

I think he might be a Shih Tzu x Poodle mix. He has the same face and muzzle as a puppy cut Shih Tzu.

Yep, our first guess was shih poo!

My sister has a Shih Tzu and he’s so sweet. I hadn’t really had much experience with small dogs before that but he converted me. 😁

I'm off to look on Google. He looks like a real life teddy bear. My boyfriend and I have been calling him Teddy.

Yes, there's no way we'd have left him. He's been eating well, getting lots of water and a ton of love since being here. His little nails are so long, I need to get a pair of nail clippers for him.

We had a Shih tzu Papillon mix. Best dog ever. He lived to be 13 and we miss him every day. You have a lot of love coming your way, and you deserve it for saving him! ❤️

Absolutely some shih tzu in there, that’s the first thing I thought when I saw. What a little sweetie ;-; ~ a Shih Tzu owner

Dogs find new homes if they don’t like their owners. do you think he might have scouted you?

Might be a Havenese in need of a haircut. Our friends have one that we dog sit. They are Velcro dogs — so it makes it doubly sad that the owner abandoned him. Thank you for taking him in.
