Pumba's Story

Meet Pumba <br/><br/>Pumba is a 6-year-old Shih Tzu who is as adorable as he is complicated. He can be incredibly loving and sweet when he's comfortable, soaking up attention and showing off his charming personality.<br/><br/> The Good:<br/>Pumba enjoys being close to his people and has lots of love to give. With patience and the right environment, he'll happily show his affectionate side.<br/><br/> The Challenges:<br/>Pumba has ongoing medical needs, including GI sensitivities, allergies, and skin/ear issues that require veterinary management. Because of these struggles, he has shown reactivity and has bitten when in pain, startled, or handled in ways that upset him.<br/><br/> What He Needs:<br/>Pumba will require an experienced, patient adopter or foster who understands dogs with bite history and medical needs. He will do best in a calm, adult-only home without elderly family members or young children. His ideal match will be someone willing to work closely with a vet to manage his allergies and provide structure while respecting his boundaries.<br/><br/> While Pumba has challenges, he is not without hope. In the right home-with understanding, medical support, and patience-he has the potential to thrive.<br/><br/> If you think you could be the right match for Pumba and give him the safe, loving environment he needs, please reach out to us today.<br/><br/>#adoptpumba #shihtzulove #specialdogspecialhome
