Adoption
Meet Wrigley, a 2-year-old Shih Tzu with a gentle spirit and a heart that just needs the right place to land.
Wrigley has been through more than most dogs his age. After developing a serious eye condition, he underwent surgery to remove one eye. When his family faced a major health crisis, they made the difficult decision to surrender him so he could get the care he needed. Thanks to the incredible team at Pinellas Animal Hospital, Wrigley is now healed, comfortable, and ready for his next chapter.
He’s still adjusting to a big, new world with one eye, and because of that, Wrigley takes a little time to warm up to new people. He’s not a “strangers are instantly my best friends” kind of guy. But once you earn his trust, he’s all in. Velcro-level loyalty.
Wrigley at a glance:
• Male, ~2 years old
• 18 lbs, Shih Tzu
• Housebroken
• Seems fine with other dogs
• Ignores cats
• Needs slow introductions to new people
• Best suited for a home without small children
Wrigley would thrive with someone patient and understanding, someone who will let him build confidence at his own pace and celebrate the little wins along the way.
If you’re the kind of person who believes the best relationships are earned, not rushed, Wrigley might be your dog.
