Cricket's Story

Cricket is a senior male Shih Tzu with a charming mix of friendliness and independence. This little guy knows what he likes—especially a nice, cozy lap to curl up on when he’s ready for some quiet time. He enjoys companionship but is also perfectly content doing his own thing, making him a great match for someone who appreciates a more easygoing, low-key buddy. Cricket seems to do well with other dogs, but his compatibility with cats is currently unknown.<br/>He does have a few preferences when it comes to handling—Cricket does not enjoy being picked up and is not a fan of grooming. Because of this, he will need to be muzzled for grooming appointments. An experienced and understanding home that can respect his boundaries and help keep him comfortable will be the best fit for him. Despite his quirks, Cricket is a sweet senior who just wants a soft place to land and someone to share his days with. Come meet him at Dessin, open every day from 12-3, no appointment needed.

Adoption: You need to submit an adoption application. The link is below. Once approved, we'll schedule an appointment. Spay and neuter: No pet gets adopted without being spayed or neutered. We're part of the solution to the pet overpopulation problem. Ten point behavioral assessment: A formal, ten point behavioral assessment is conducted on each dog to attempt to identify aggression or behavior problems, as well as to learn about the dog's personality. This helps us determine the best type of home for each dog/puppy.
