My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

MBR holds monthly adoption events on the 2nd Saturday of every month at Tractor Supply in Columbia Station, 24100 Royalton Road from 11 am - 2 pm. Questions can be emailed to rescue@mbrohio.com
Looking for a sweet, cuddly gentleman to add a whole lot of love to your life? Meet Lawrence! This charming 12-year-old, 20lb Shih Tzu mix is ready to find his forever home and shower his new family with affection. Don't let his age fool you – Lawrence has a playful spirit! He enjoys gentle romps around the house with his foster sibling and still has plenty of pep in his step for leisurely walks on a leash. He's also a pro at pottying outdoors, making him a wonderful houseguest for his foster.
Lawrence is a master cuddler and will happily snuggle up next to you on the couch for some quality downtime. He's a true homebody and while he might let you know he misses you if you leave, he settles down nicely in his bed for a nap, making him a great companion for those who appreciate a calm and relaxed dog.
While Lawrence's hearing is a little limited (he responds to louder voices/sounds), this doesn't hinder his ability to connect with people. In fact, his sweet nature shines through in every interaction. He's been friendly with the kids in his foster neighborhood and gets along wonderfully with his foster dog sibling. He even politely acknowledged the resident cats upon arrival and now completely ignores them, suggesting he could potentially live peacefully in a home with feline friends.
This adorable boy enjoys a good chew toy and will melt into a puddle of bliss with a gentle belly rub. He's not a fan of his crate or dry kibble, but with a little patience and perhaps some tasty additions to his meals, he's sure to thrive. Lawrence could benefit from losing a little weight (around 4-5 lbs.) to keep him feeling his best, and his future family can work with their vet to ensure he maintains a healthy lifestyle.
One of Lawrence's most endearing features is his adorable tongue that adorably peeks out due to his teeth – it's a permanent little quirk that only adds to his considerable charm! Lawrence is more than ready to find his permanent family. If you're looking for a devoted, low-key companion who will fill your days with sweetness and cuddles, Lawrence might just be the perfect match for you!
If you are interested in adopting one of our dogs, the first thing to do is submit an application for approval. All dogs available for adoption are in foster homes. Please do not visit the rescue location as it is a privately run boarding, training & grooming facility. Individual meet and greets are scheduled by appointment only for approved adopters.
