LILA - SHIH TZU (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Shih Tzu (medium coat). DOB: 12/5/2018 Approx. Weight: 9.44 Lbs Adoption Fee: $ 250 includes a 2 week trial to ensure everyone's happiness! Lila was released to Furry Kids' by a breeder. Lila is a very sweet curious little Shih Tzu. She is initially shy but warms up quickly. She loves her food and is a great eater! Her foster Mom lovingly calls her "Thumper" because when she races through the house she makes a thumping noise as if she were a 50 lb dog. Once Lila warms up she just wants to follow you everywhere and be your shadow! She loves toys and has a lot of personality for a pup that lived most her life in a kennel. She just wants to feel loved! She is great around all sizes of dogs and cats. A year ago Lila did break/fracture her front legs due to jumping off of a couch and incorrectly landing. She more like flew forward and landed wrong, this is probably because she didn't know how to get down. Lila can never be allowed to jump off furniture of any kind, also needs a home with minimal stairs. She had surgery by the top orthopedic surgeon in Kansas City and she has healed well. We also did a special blood test on her to verify that she had no underlying issues that would cause her bones to be weak. Lila has now learned how to use doggie stairs to get up and down off of her fosters bed and couch. Lila is not housebroken. With consistency taking her outside she does well but she will sometimes have an accident during the day when her foster is at work. A potty pad is provided and used. Lila will need a fenced yard. As for grooming, she is very squirmy. The Shih Tzu breed needs grooming every 4-6 weeks and she will need to go to an experienced groomer. Children 10 and older please. I have been spayed, vaccinated, heartworm tested negative and microchipped. Has also had a dental. If you are interested in adopting me, please complete the adoption application located at .furrykidsrefuge/adoptadog and a dedicated volunteer will get back to you as soon as possible.
