He's known for his friendly demeanor and enjoys cuddling up close, making him the perfect lap companion. Dimitri is a sweet boy who thrives on human companionship and will greet you with enthusiasm, always eager for a gentle pet or a cozy spot on the couch.
As a Shih Tzu, Dimitri embodies the breed's classic traits: he's a devoted companion, known for being playful yet calm indoors. While he might be a bit of a pampered prince, he's generally good with respectful children and can adapt well to various living situations, including apartments, thanks to his moderate exercise needs. His alert nature means he's a good little watchdog, always ready to let you know if someone's at the door. He's neutered and ready to embark on his new life with a loving family.
Dimitri is looking for a patient and understanding forever home where he can continue to learn and grow. He is currently working on his housetraining, so a family committed to consistent positive reinforcement and a structured routine will help him succeed.
