SNOOPY - SHIH TZU (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Shih Tzu (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 450.00. All dogs listed here are available for adoption from Yorkie Rescue Houston. Our goal is to ensure our rescued pets go to their forever home and never end up back in the system. To that end, an application is required on all potential adopters. Our adoption fee varies by dog. We accept electronic funds via VENMO or Paypal, or cash only. Puppies too young to be spayed/neutered are available for Foster-to-Adopt only. A FTA contract is required. Snoopy’s journey has been anything but easy. Found as an injured stray, he was taken to BARC and placed on “owner hold” because he had a microchip. But no one came for him. His family knew where he was and simply chose not to reclaim him. When we first met Snoopy, he was matted to the skin, packed with stickers and thorns, and suffering from a bulging eye injury. Even the simple act of being leashed caused him to scream in fear and pain. No precautions were taken to protect his injured eye, and Snoopy—confused, hurting, and alone—scratched at it until it ruptured. After six long days in the shelter, we were finally able to bring Snoopy into rescue. He went straight to our veterinarian, where it was determined that the eye could not be saved. He has since had surgery and is now beginning his recovery in a safe, quiet place. We don’t yet know the full story of who Snoopy is beyond his survival, but we do know this: he is brave, resilient, and deserving of a life where he will never again be abandoned or left to suffer. For now, we’ll give him the time, care, and gentle patience he needs to heal—both inside and out.
