Henry Fonda is a 3‑month‑old Shih Tzu mix puppy with old‑Hollywood heart, a gentle snuggler’s soul, and leading‑man charm ready to win your affections.
Loves men, women, and strangers; untested with children, but if like his siblings, odds are good he’ll love them too.
Once he’s met someone, very friendly; a little shy at first but warms up quickly.
Loves to snuggle on the sofa, a chair, or in bed; allowed on furniture and sleeps in his foster’s bedroom.
Loves his toys and plays fetch like a champ; stays close when outside and will come when called.
Still food‑driven but learning to stay down; in teething mode.
Knows sit, down, and come; working on leash and house training.
Not too bad on a leash; walks around the property and loves to chase anything that flies or crawls.
Good eater, fed twice daily; starting a decent routine—winds down around 8:30 pm, out again at 11 pm, up around 7 am and does his business right away.
Typical puppy who will benefit from formal training; best not left unsupervised while he’s growing and learning.
Ideal for a home ready for positive, consistent training, plenty of fetch sessions, and cozy snuggle time.
Will thrive with routine, gentle boundaries, and lots of love as he settles into his leading‑man role.
As a Shih Tzu mix, Henry’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 leading man who’ll steal your heart (and your lap), Henry Fonda is cueing up for his forever home.
