HENRY - SHIH TZU (LONG COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Shih Tzu (long coat). Meet Henry! This tiny 5 lb, 7-month-old Shih Tzu is such a joy! He's wide open, fearless, and ready for life's next adventure. Found as a stray, Henry arrived with a matted coat and open wounds on his back and head that are healing well. He also had an eye ulcer that was treated with drops. He will likely have a small residual scar, but he can see fine, and it doesn't slow him down one bit. Thankfully, a Good Samaritan took Henry in and reached out to rescue for help...that was his lucky day. For the past two weeks, Henry has been living happily in foster care with two dogs and a cat. He loves to play (sometimes like an enthusiastic little brother) and would thrive with another playful pup. When his friends need a break, Henry will happily entertain himself with toys. He loves his toy treasures and carries his favorites to bed at night. Henry is sweet, sassy, and endlessly friendly. He gives kisses to everyone he meets, loves pets and scratches, and enjoys exploring the backyard with zero fear. Henry is not a hyper dog; he has normal puppy energy with fun, playful puppy energy bursts followed by naps. He's about 75% potty trained, with the only accidents happening overnight. His foster mom gates him in a room when she’s away, and is slowly introducing the crate. He’s very trainable. Henry arrives in the DC metro area on 8/30. Apply today to meet this adorable nugget!
