About This Dog

Pretzel's ideal home

Meet Pretzel! Pretzel is still young and can be a tad shy meeting new people but warms up very quickly! He has previously lived with children and would be best suited to a quiet home with older teenagers or adults where he has his own space to relax. Pretzel could live with other dogs pending successful meets at the centre, but would be equally happy as the only pet in his new home. He would love it if someone could keep him company during the day until he's had time to settle in the home, then leaving time could be built gradually.

Could you be Pretzel's perfect match?

Pretzel is an 11-month-old Shih Tzu x Collie on the lookout for his forever home with adopters who can provide the time, patience and consistency he needs to continue building his confidence and developing his skills. As is common with his breeds, Pretzel is an intelligent and lively pup so will benefit from a large, enclosed garden space where he can enjoy some enrichment puzzles and his favourite game - fetch! He has been working really hard on building his confidence here at the centre and has already come along leaps and bounds! We know he will absolutely thrive in an experienced home who can adapt to his sensitive side. If you feel Pretzel is the dog for you, please submit an application and don't forget to "favourite" him!
