Meet Bender, a charming 5-year-old Maltese Shih Tzu mix who weighs in at a petite 20 pounds. Bender can be a bit reserved when he first meets new people, and he's not afraid to let his feelings be known if he's uncomfortable. However, with a little patience and some tasty treats, he blossoms into a friendly companion. He gets especially excited for mealtimes and outdoor adventures, often showing his joy with a happy spin! Bender is still working on his potty training and would benefit from a family to help him master this skill. He's also a bit wary of leashes, so a home where he can safely roam and play outdoors would be ideal. Bender is eager to learn and adapt to his new environment, and with the right support, he has the potential to be a wonderful addition to your home.
Ideal Home
Bender would do best in an adult-only home. He is also selective with other dogs and needs a home where he can have his boundaries respected, especially regarding leashes and being picked up.
Ongoing Health
All necessary veterinary care, including vaccines and microchipping, has been provided.
Training & Support
Bender is still perfecting his potty training and would benefit from continued guidance. He is also afraid of leashes and needs a home that understands this.
