About Bryer

Bichon Frise / Shih Tzu
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

Meet Bryer !! This dapper little gentleman came to us in rough shape. He's made a huge transformation and is ready for his new life. He arrived here and was terribly matted. His fur had urine and feces matted into it. It seems like he may have been left crated standing for long periods of times in his own waste. Thanks to Fluff N Buff who volunteered to groom him for us. He looks amazing and feels so much better now! Bryer is an approx. 5 year old male. He weighs 13.5 pounds and is full grown. We are unsure of his exact breed. Probably a few small breeds like shihtzu, Maltese, or bichon mixed in. He will be neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccines as part of his adoption. He is thankfully heartworm negative and on monthly preventions. Bryer is really a great little dog. His entire personality has changed since he arrived. He was referred to as 'Mr. Grumpy' at the shelter and now he is the happiest little guy. He was likely in pain without many positive human experiences. Now he is all about exploring the good life. He is a happy sweet boy that loves life. Given what his past must have been like he is trying his best with training. He is good on car rides. He is leash trained but can be a bit wild and hyper to go explore everything. With the crate he is quiet, he goes in well, eats and sleeps in his crate with no problem. The one major issue he had was that he would go potty in his crate as if he is supposed to. He was likely made to stay crated all the time without an opportunity to go out. Due to this he didn't seem to understand the concept of going outside and keeping his crate clean. He has gotten so much better with it already but is not perfect. Anyone wanting to adopt this guy will have to be patient and understanding with him as he has to relearn his new expectations. Bryer has not been fostered with kids has been very good with all the kids hes met. He loves playing so as long as kids don't treat him like a toy he will do well. He is great with other dogs of all sizes and loves to play. He can be a humper of other dogs. His upcoming neuter will likely resolve that but until then your dogs will need to be tolerant of that behavior. He had an overnight visit in a home with a cat and he did very well. He currently has a medium energy level. He likes to be exploring the yard or doing zoomies around it. He does really like being outside. He also loves to play with other dogs. He will likely calm some as he adjusts to the freedom of not being stuck in the crate. Right now he is seizing the opportunity to frolic at every chance he gets LOL. Bryer has not had any trouble sharing food, treats or toys with humans. He doesn't like other dogs approaching him while he is eating but he is happy to eat in his crate to have some privacy. This guy is looking for someone to spoil him and give him the good life he has been denied so far. If you are willing to work with his potty training he is going to make an excellent companion for you in return. Vet and home checks required. Located in Hampton VA. (He will need to be adopted within a 1 hour drive radius) �'�%BC��%8FPlease message [email protected] or for more pics and faster response visit our Facebook Page directly with questions or to get an application. �'�%BC��%8F
