Story
Herman is a 20lb pup who is in need of a forever home. We believe him to be a Shih Tzu mix around 1-2 years old. He’s a man with insecurities and can be fear-reactive, unfortunately that led him to be returned to us due to previous owners not understanding how to help guide him. However, with desensitization and counter-conditioning in his foster home paired with an anti-anxiety medication, Herman is learning how to safely navigate the world and is ready for a permanent home to thrive! Herman stats -
🐸Herman is very insecure. Understandable for a little boy who has had a inconsistent life! He needs a supportive, understanding owner who can help him explore new things. He’s been doing well in his foster home using fear-free desensitization and counter-conditioning to introduce him to the world around him.
🐸His favorite pastimes include playing with stuffed toys, eating & following his foster mom around. He enjoys keeping a regular routine and will often remind you when it’s meal time, walk time, or time for his bedtime treat!
🐸Herman sees his caregiver as his sun & moon- he's incredibly affectionate and loving to his person, it's very sweet and hard to resist his sweet face! He's a bit of a velcro-dog and will follow you everywhere.
🐸Herman is very sensitive to handling and is touchy about his boundaries. His new owner needs to seek a fear-free groomer and vet who are willing to work with him, without over-stressing him. He is currently on an anti-anxiety medication, which we recommend his new owner keeping up on.
🐸Herman is enthusiastic, playful & quite food motivated. This means he’s incredibly trainable! He already knows sit, down, dance, and roll over.
🐸Herman does enjoy the company of other dogs, however, he’s like a sponge and soaks up all the traits of the pups around him regularly. A calmer dog around his size would be best for him.
🐸No kids or cats.
🐸Shih Tzu’s are known for their loveable, quirky personalities, but can also be stubborn, demanding & unwilling to cooperate at times. If you love the Shih traits you will love Herman!
