Brownie is an adorable 1-year-old Shih Tzu who would love to find his forever home! He is incredibly affectionate and will even roll over on his back for you to rub his belly. Brownie is not too fond of children so a home with no kids would be best for him. He walks well on a leash and is good with other dogs. He will need regular grooming and brushing to keep his fur in good condition. Come and meet Brownie.
