🐾 Scotty -- The Sweetest Dog You'll Ever Chase Around the House 🐾<br/><br/>(Shih Tzu * cuddle expert * part-time escape artist)<br/><br/>Allow me to introduce Scotty, the 10-month-old Shih Tzu mix who has mastered three things in life:<br/><br/>1️⃣ Being adorable<br/>2️⃣ Being sweet<br/>3️⃣ Climbing over fences like a fluffy, determined ninja<br/><br/>This boy is tiny, gentle, and SO affectionate. Scotty loves belly rubs, chin scratches, ear stretches, and any form of physical touch that reminds him he is, in fact, the center of someone's universe. If you sit down, he appears. If you recline, he melts into your side. If you stop petting him, he looks at you like you've betrayed him personally.<br/><br/>He's housebroken (yay!), kid-friendly, dog-friendly, crate trained, and polite -- even if he hasn't learned "sit," "stay," or "come" yet. But listen...<br/>he did learn how to scale child-proof fencing like it's his full-time job, so the potential is definitely there.<br/><br/>Scotty prefers exploring a fenced yard to a structured walk, enjoys attention, and thinks baby gates are more "suggestions" than "barriers." He's incredibly sweet, kind, and gentle -- not a hint of aggression, just cuddles, curiosity, and comedy.<br/><br/>He and Patty arrived together, and while he loves her, he doesn't depend on her -- he just loves love, routine, warmth, and being near people who think he's cute (which is... everyone).<br/><br/>Soft. Sweet. Snuggly. Mildly sneaky.<br/>Scotty is everything wonderful wrapped into one 10-pound fluffball.<br/><br/>⸻<br/><br/>📌 ADOPTION DETAILS:<br/><br/>📍 Location: Lake County, IL<br/>🧡 Age: 10 months<br/>✨ Size: Small (~10 lbs)<br/>🐾 Breed Guess: Shih Tzu<br/>🚽 Housebroken: Yes<br/>🐶 Dog Friendly: Yes<br/>🐱 Cat Friendly: Unknown<br/>🧒 Kid Friendly: Yes<br/>🦮 Leash Trained: Yes; prefers fenced-yard adventures<br/>🛏 Crate Trained: Yes<br/>❤️ Vetting: Neutered, microchipped, UTD on vaccines<br/>💵 Adoption Fee: $500<br/><br/>👉 Apply to adopt Scotty: www.biggiepawsrescue.orgDATCP # 494550
