Pablito

Pablito – Tokabey – is a purebred Shih Tzu who started his journey with a breeder. His first family purchased him but soon decided not to keep him, passing him on to a friend. A few months later, that friend made the same choice. After a few more stops, Pablito ended up on Sarp’s Instagram as a 6-month-old looking for a forever home.

That’s when Ezgi and Serkan found him. They were going through a tough time back then, but something about Pablito’s slightly crooked smile and his charmingly cross-eyed stare captured their heart.

The adoption process started in the summer of 2022, when Ezgi and Serkan decided to be his forever family. Pablito spent a month in a temporary foster home, followed by another month at a boarding facility.

When his new family came to Bodrum from Berlin, a dedicated volunteer drove him all the way down, and they spent another month together in Bodrum. Once their paperwork from the agricultural office was sorted, they finally took their flight back to Berlin, where Pablito has truly found his forever home.

Today, Pablito is the undisputed ruler of the house, known for his sneaky plant-nibbling missions, impressive sock heists, and a bottomless appetite for anything remotely edible. He also has a habit of gently nibbling the ears of every furry guest that visits – his way of saying, “You’re part of the pack now.”

From unwanted to utterly adored, Pablito has found his place, and he’s living his best, slightly mischievous life.

Much love from the crooked-smiled, sock-thieving, plant-munching fluff himself. 💛
