Diggie Doodlebug Hoverfluff

Diggie Doodlebug Hoverfluff is an 11 lb Shih Tzu mix, estimated to be about 4 years old. He looks like a tiny, fluffy version of Chewbacca, especially when his scruffy grey coat grows out. Diggie is a very affectionate and intelligent dog who bonds deeply with his people. He loves toys, enjoys dramatic digging through dog beds, and once he's comfortable, he's a playful and bouncy boy. He especially loves children and would thrive in a home with them. Diggie has also successfully lived with cats and can do well with calm, easygoing dogs after slow introductions. While he can be a bit shy in new environments, he has a soft temperament and never reacts roughly. He is adaptable to a busy lifestyle and enjoys going on outings.

Ideal Home

A home with children would be ideal for Diggie. He would also do well with calm, easygoing dogs after slow introductions. A home with a secure yard is recommended, as Diggie is still gaining confidence with leash walking.

Ongoing Health

No specific health conditions are mentioned in the description.

Training & Support

Diggie is not currently leash trained but is practicing with his foster. Crates are also stressful for him, and he is trustworthy in the home without one. He is a "relationship-first" dog and needs time to settle in and build trust at his own pace.
