Pluto is an adorable, somewhat timid but loving 2-3 yr. old Shih tzu. He is neutered and seems to be paper trained, though sometimes will forget if he's in another room, so will need someone to work with him reinforcing housetraining in a positive manner. Pluto was found living on the streets, matted and a mess, and had to be shaved down. He was very frightened in the shelter and of many hands handling him and not knowing his fate....When we took him in a copule weeks ago, he was skin and bones, but with good food and love and time, his coat will grow out and he'll put on some weight and be more handsome than he is now!
He is very sweet, but is scared of loud noises, stern (mad) voices and cowers when he's had an accident (like he's been hit before). He absolutely LOVES attention and wants nothing more than to be with his people. He likes the gentle attention of older children, but because of his need for a quiet environment, we're looking for a mostly adult home (possibly with older children). He gets a little nervous at loud noises and when other dogs bark and he senses "danger".
He's friendly with other dogs and will play with friendly dog(s) his own size,but is somewhat timid of the unknown (or dogs that have given him an attitude) in his foster home. He loves to chase and play with his tail, and will fetch a plush/squeaky toy and most of the time bring it back! He is smart little guy, eager to please, and with positive training, will shine, we are sure!
Pluto is definitely a little prize. He seems afraid to go outside nad will run back to the door. At first he did his business, but now prefers to use the paper. We're not sure if he's just afraid someone will leave him outside and he's on his own or what....He needs reassurance and love to know that he's Safe and cared for.
If you have the love and time to devote to Pluto, and can provide a forever home so that he never has to lose his home/people again, please fill out an application. Because he needs a good deal of socialization/training, we would prefersomeone who has alot of time to give him -- a stay at home adopter and/or someone who works at home or can take him to work with them. He deserves to be treated like a Prince, and in turn will provide you with tons of love and devoted companionship!
