Dave is a lovely 10-year-old Shih Tzu with the most gentle and laid-back nature. He’s a calm little boy who takes life in his stride and loves nothing more than being cuddled up next to his person.

He is incredibly sweet-natured and good with everyone he meets—nothing seems to bother him. Dave is the kind of dog who brings a quiet, comforting presence and would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a relaxed and affectionate friend.

Shih Tzus are known for their loving, loyal, and companion-focused personalities. They thrive on human interaction and are happiest when they are close to their people—something Dave truly embodies. They are generally calm and adaptable, making them ideal for quieter homes.

Dave would suit a peaceful home where he can enjoy plenty of affection, companionship, and a relaxed routine.

As a Shih Tzu, Dave will need regular grooming to keep his coat healthy and comfortable. This includes frequent brushing to prevent tangles and matting, as well as regular professional grooming to keep him looking and feeling his best.

What Dave Needs:

• A calm, loving home

• Plenty of companionship and cuddles

• Gentle exercise such as short daily walks

• A consistent, relaxed routine

• Regular grooming and coat maintenance

• A warm, comfortable place to rest

• Good-quality food and fresh water

• Routine vet care suited to a senior dog

Senior dogs like Dave make incredibly rewarding companions—they are often calmer, already well-mannered, and simply want a loving home to enjoy their days. Dave has so much love to give and is ready to be someone’s devoted little companion.
