Brandy Shih Tzu & Bichon Frise Mix Rochester, MN

My name is Brandy, a cute Teddy Bear (Shih Tzu and Bichon) and definitely a lap dog. My surrendering owner went into a nursing home and her family wasn't sure of my age. At my first vet visit with the rescue, the vet estimated I was about 5 years old.

I have 3 foster siblings from 100 to 7 pounds, and I get along with them all. I like to go for little walks, sleep with my family, and snuggle on the couch. I absolutely love treats and will sit pretty if you ask me to.

I used to be afraid of stairs but now I do ok with them. I think maybe my nails were too long and stairs were kind of slippery. I enjoy a bath and even nail trims.

My foster family has cats and occasionally I chase after them, but I never hurt them.

My foster mom was told that I didn’t like toys! I DO like them! I like the little ones that squeak the best. I also like chewy bones. They’re so tasty.

I hope that you’ll choose me to be your new fur baby. I promise to love you for the rest of my life!

Foster mom here - With patience and understanding, Brandy should continue to adapt and thrive in a new forever home. Brandy has shown a preference for to older adults (probably sees them as similar to her previous owner). She does not like being crated, but we are teaching her that she gets yummy treats when she goes in.

My adoption fee is $350 + MN state sales tax.
