Cary Grant is a 3‑month‑old Shih Tzu mix puppy with old‑Hollywood timing, debonair charm, and a smart, sweet presence ready to steal every scene.
Likes men, women, strangers, and kids (untested with those under 6); good with other dogs.
Independent yet affectionate; prefers a cozy bed or blanket on the floor but happily accepts pets, kisses, and cuddles.
Energetic and family‑friendly; gets along wonderfully with cats.
Chatty boy who may bark when excited or wants to go outside, but isn’t reactive to knocks at the door.
Curious and polite on walks; doesn’t pull and calmly minds his own business around other dogs.
Allowed on furniture; fast eater like his siblings—would do best with a slow‑feeder bowl.
Good with ears being cleaned and toes clipped; bath time feelings are still undecided.
Likes car rides; starting to enter his chewing/teething stage.
Knows sit and come; crate and leash trained.
Working on house training—only occasional accidents; as soon as his crate opens, he runs straight to the door to go out.
Very smart and highly treat‑ and praise‑motivated, making training fun and easy.
Eats three times daily; sleeps in his crate in a spare room at night.
Loves routine (breakfast ~6:30 am, lunch ~12:00 pm, dinner ~5:00 pm) and prefers his crate to stay in the same spot.
Typical puppy who will benefit from formal training; best not left unsupervised and would do well with a fenced yard.
Ideal for families or apartment dwellers who want a smart, chatty, food‑driven leading man with excellent dog manners and a love of routine.
Will thrive with consistent, positive training, chew‑safe toys, and a predictable daily rhythm.
As a Shih Tzu mix, Cary’s adult weight is an estimate only; expect a small dog, but final size will depend on his mix and growth.
If you’re ready for a co‑star with impeccable timing and debonair charm, Cary Grant is cueing up for his forever home.
