Winter

Hi, I'm Winter! I'm a 4-year-old Maltese-ShihTzu blend weighing in at a perfect 16 pounds of fluff, love,and personality. He may look like a little snowball, but don't be fooled, he's here to melt hearts, not freeze them. Let's get one thing out of the way: yes, he may only have three legs, but we prefer to think of it as his super power. Zoomies: still top tier. Ability to dart around during playtime: elite. His Spirit: absolutely unstoppable.<br/><br/>Favorite Things: Winter loves scritches and he's got a system: lock eyes with you, tilt head just right, and politely request assistance. So you bring the hands, he'll bring the charm. He is drawn to crinkle toys and backyard lounging is nice, but he's more “quality over quantity”. Winter is qual parts playful zoomie champion and professional couch cuddler. And he does all of this with only 3 legs. <br/><br/>Training & Manners: Winter is a good boy! He is housetrained if let out frequently, walks well on a leash and enjoys going for walks. At night he enjoys sleeping next to his foster mom at night or cuddling on the couch. He is generally a chill little guy who has good basic manner, most of the time. Like a true Shih Tzu gentleman, Winter does have the occassional "tiny emperor" moment if you don't follow his social cues. <br/><br/>Health & Care: Winter is neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccinations, and recently had his teeth cleaned.<br/><br/>Other Animals: Winter will do best in a home without other dogs as he prefers to have his person all to himself. <br/> <br/><br/>Children: Winter would do better in an adult only home. <br/><br/>Ideal Home: Winter would do well in a single family home with few or no stairs. He has a history of being a bit of a hound-ini and an escape artist, he would do best with an experienced dog owner that could take precautions to prevent him from being able to easily dart out of a door. <br/><br/>Overall: Has Winter's sweet, resilient, curious cuddlebug with soulful eyes warmed your heart?
