JOEY - SHIH TZU DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Shih Tzu. Adoption Fee: $250. Joey is a very shy but also very sweet little Shih Tzu in search of his forever family. Joey came from a very tough breeding situation and will need a very patient family willing to give him the time that he needs. Joey is working hard on his housetraining and doing pretty well. ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS: Confident resident dog to show Joey the ropes and help teach him what being a dog is all about. Patient family willing to give Joey the time he needs to trust and come out of his shell. Physically fenced in yard to keep him safe - no invisible fences. *All SFCR dogs are current on age-appropriate vaccinations (rabies, distemper, bordetella, and lepto), spayed/neutered (if at least 6 months of age), tested for heartworm & tick-borne disease, receive dentals if needed, are started on preventatives for heartworm and fleas/ticks, and microchipped. Prior to being rescued, many of our dogs have received limited socialization, so they may need extra time to adjust and settle in. Older children are often a great fit for our dogs, and family's with younger children will be considered based on each dog's individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may require a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of our dogs adapt quite quickly.
