Slick Jones is a 3-year-old, 9 lb Shih Tzu mix who was found abandoned and severely matted in a Los Angeles park. After weeks of roaming, a kind stranger intervened and brought him to us, where he can now find the loving forever home he truly deserves.
Slick is the complete package in a ridiculously cute, small body! This affectionate pup is a "Velcro pup" who adores being close to his people and will happily follow you from room to room like your tiny, loyal sidekick. If you've ever wanted unconditional love with a wagging tail, this is your guy. He's equal parts cuddle bug and playful adventurer. Slick loves his toys, especially anything he can carry around like a proud little prize. He enjoys a good game of fetch and is perfectly content soaking up the sunshine like he's on a permanent vacation. When the day winds down, he settles in beautifully and sleeps soundly through the night—no chaos, just good vibes.
Social and sweet, Slick gets along great with kids and other dogs. He’s friendly, curious, and approaches the world with that perfect mix of confidence and charm. Even better? He’s incredibly responsive and eager to please, which means he’s going to be a dream to train. This is a dog who wants to be your good boy. We cannot ignore his signature look—Slick’s adorable little overbite gives him a permanently goofy, endearing smile that will absolutely melt you on a daily basis. In short: Slick Jones is joyful, loving, easygoing, and just plain delightful. He’s ready to find his person (or family) to stick to like glue—and trust me, you’ll want him to.
