Meet Asparagus — the long-legged little sprout who’s about to turn even the pickiest veggie critic into a full-on fan.
This 3-month-old Shih Tzu mix is bursting with personality, energy, and just the right amount of silliness. Asparagus is the kind of pup who’s always first out of the garden gate on walks (those longer legs definitely give him a head start), eager to explore, sniff, and see what adventure is waiting around the corner. Curious and brave, he’s happiest when he’s on the move or right in the middle of the fun.
Back at home, Asparagus is a playful little goofball who loves a good toy, a playful wrestle with his siblings, or a cuddle session with his people. He thrives in the company of others — eating his meals (three times a day) and sleeping cozily in his crate alongside his siblings. He’s used to a routine and is bathed every other week to keep him fresh as a garden breeze. Asparagus loves liver treats!
As a typical puppy, Asparagus is still learning the ropes and would benefit from formal training to help him grow into his best self. With consistency and love, this eager little sprout is sure to flourish.
Asparagus' bloodwork showed some mild abnormalities — the changes noted on his bloodwork is commonly seen in young puppies, and expected to normalize as he matures, but should be confirmed with the follow up bloodwork at 8-10 months of age at the expense of his adopter. He will need his final booster vaccination between July 15–22.
Through it all, Asparagus remains joyful, affectionate, and full of life — a sweet, silly companion ready to grow right alongside you.
If you’re looking for a puppy who brings energy, laughter, and a little extra “green goodness” into your days, Asparagus is ready to plant himself firmly in your heart.
