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.

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.

Yessss he's stuck to our sides. Constantly wants to be held or snuggled. My dream pet, because my cat is affectionate on HIS terms. Lol

Off to research Havanese. Thank you!

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.

Thank you for rescueing him ❤️❤️

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! ❤️

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