Meet Curly, an adorable black Shih Tzu who is approximately 18 months old. She can be a little bashful when first meeting someone, but give her a little time and she warms up beautifully. A sweet, social young girl who loves spending time with people and being part of whatever they’re doing.

Curly still has plenty of youthful energy and enthusiasm, so she’s looking for a family ready for all the fun that comes with a young dog. She would benefit from basic reward-based training to help her develop good manners and channel that puppy energy into useful skills.

So far, Curly has gotten along well with two canine companions. As with any new relationship, introductions to potential doggy housemates should be thoughtful and gradual.

Curly’s favorite place is wherever his people are. If you’re looking for a cheerful, affectionate companion and are ready to continue helping a young dog learn and grow, Curly may be the one for you!
