Adopt Shih Tzu Puppy Remy
Remy is a 15-week-old male Shih Tzu puppy available for adoption in Gauteng. He is a sensitive, affectionate young puppy who bonds quickly with his people and thrives on close human connection. Due to challenges in a home with a toddler, a more suitable environment is needed where Remy can grow with calm guidance, consistency, and attention.
Remy (also known as Rembrandt) is tightly bonded to his human and shows a gentle, emotionally aware temperament for his age.
Temperament & Personality
Remy is an inquisitive and affectionate puppy who enjoys being close to his person. He is highly people-oriented and thrives on companionship.
- Extremely affectionate and loving
- Sensitive and emotionally aware
- Enjoys closeness and physical affection
- Curious and alert, typical of a young Shih Tzu puppy
- Gets excited around people, especially children
Because of his excitement levels, he would do best in a home where interactions with young children can be calm and supervised.
Toilet Training Progress
Remy is doing very well with toilet training for his age, with only occasional indoor accidents as expected from a young puppy.
Home Environment Needed
Remy will be best suited to:
- A calm, structured home
- Humans who are patient and present
- A family without very young children, or with older children who understand puppy boundaries
- Someone wanting a companion-focused dog
He has already worked with a behaviourist, and his needs are rooted in environment compatibility rather than behavioural problems.
Why Remy Needs a New Home
In his current home, interactions with a toddler have become stressful for both child and puppy, despite professional guidance. Separation and divided attention are no longer fair to either, making rehoming the kindest option.
