Meet Remington, affectionately known as Remi, a joyful little “teddy bear” pup who is always ready to be your very best friend. Remi is a 1 yr old Shih Tzu–Bichon Frise mix weighing around 14 pounds, and she has mastered the art of being both playful and perfectly cuddly. Remi adores being with her people and will happily follow you from room to room just to make sure she knows where you are. When she’s in the mood to play, she’ll proudly bring you her toys and give you a gentle nudge to let you know it’s game time. She loves playing ball, even if she’s not quite ready to give it back, and if you ask her to “go get your ball,” she’ll thoughtfully dig through her toy collection to choose the perfect one. When things are quiet, Remi is just as content hopping up on the couch to snuggle beside you while you read or relax. If peanut butter is involved, you can bet she’ll be right there, hoping for a little taste of her favorite treat. Remi is fully house trained and enjoys the freedom of a doggy door, responsibly letting herself in and out as needed. She had crate training as a puppy and still chooses her crate for naps now and then, making her comfortable with the idea of one in her new home. She knows several commands, including sit, come, high five, and fetch, and she’s eager to please, especially when fun or food is involved. An adventurous little soul, Remi loves going on walks and hikes and has happily joined her family on hikes up to three miles. She’s also a fantastic travel companion, having completed multiple long road trips with ease and enthusiasm. Whether riding in the car, camping with friends, or watching the world go by, Remi takes it all in stride. At home, she’ll keep you laughing with her curiosity, popping up on her hind legs to watch cows or deer go by, or adorably growling at a ball that’s rolled just out of reach until someone rescues it for her. Remi does wonderfully with children and has endless patience and energy for playtime, happily wrestling and playing until she’s completely tuckered out. She enjoys other dogs as well and thrives on social interaction. Her ideal home would be one where someone is home most of the time, as she truly loves companionship and being part of daily life. A securely fenced yard would be a dream come true for her, giving her space to zoom around and enjoy the outdoors. If you’re looking for a loving, loyal, and endlessly entertaining companion who will fill your days with laughter, cuddles, and unconditional love, Remi is ready to be your new best friend.
