Diggie Doodlebug is an approximately 4-year-old Shih Tzu mix who looks like a mini Chewbacca with adorable tiny paws and a perfect button nose. He's a scruffy grey sweetheart with a playful side, a sensitive heart, and a deep attachment to his people. Diggie can be a bit shy in new situations, but once he's comfortable, his foster describes him as lovable, extremely smart, and full of personality. He enjoys toys, digging through dog beds, and bonding deeply with his family. He would truly thrive in a home with children, and can do well with calm, easygoing dogs and cats after slow introductions. Diggie is not an instant life-of-the-party dog; he's a relationship-first companion, but for someone willing to let him settle in at his own pace, he'll be a funny, loving, and toy-obsessed best friend.
