This adorable little Shorkie (Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix) boy is a breeder release puppy who’s finally getting the chance to just be a happy, loved little dog. After a rough beginning, he’s now safe and discovering how fun life can be — and his sweet, playful spirit is already shining through.
Like many breeder release pups, he may need a little patience as he learns the ropes of living in a home — things like routines, socialization, and basic training are all new adventures for him. But he’s curious, affectionate, and eager to bond with his people as he grows more confident every day.
He’s the perfect mix of snuggly and silly, happy to play, explore, and then curl up close once he feels safe.
