Diggie Doodlebug Hoverfluff looks like a tiny, fluffy muppet with a perfect button nose! This approximately 4-year-old Shih Tzu mix is about 11 lbs of pure love. Freshly groomed, he's adorable, but as his scruffy grey coat grows out, he becomes full-on rescue-muppet magic! Diggie is a sensitive soul who forms deep attachments to his people. He's playful, incredibly smart, and full of personality once he feels comfortable. He adores toys and loves to dramatically dig through his dog bed. Diggie truly shines in a home with children and has successfully lived with cats. He can also do well with calm, easygoing dogs after slow introductions. While he can adapt to a busy lifestyle and enjoys outings, he's not an instant life-of-the-party dog. He's a relationship-first companion who needs a little time to settle in. For someone patient, Diggie will reveal his funny, loving, and toy-obsessed nature.
Ideal Home
Diggie would thrive in a home with children. He also gets along with calm, easygoing dogs with slow introductions and lives successfully with cats. A home with a secure yard would be beneficial as he is still building confidence with leash walking.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned in the listing.
Training & Support
Diggie is not currently leash trained but is practicing with his foster. Crates can be stressful for him, and he is trustworthy in the home without one. He needs a patient adopter willing to let him settle in at his own pace.
