My name is
Ruben!

Ruben appears to be a pure breed, Shih Tzu. He is pretty handsome!

He is estimated to be 4-5 yr old, but he acts like a 1-2 yr old. He LOVES to play. He is housebroken. He loves his human brother and sister. He demands to sleep in the bed like a human, lays his head on the pillow and will wait to be tucked in like a baby.

This handsome boy came to rescue after living on the streets of Houston and not being claimed.

Ruben will be great in any home, with or without another dog. He does want to be alpha, so another dog would need to be "not alpha." He is medium energy and would love to go on walks or hikes with you.

So, if you are looking for a dog with an excellent personality and one to spoil, Ruben is your boy!
