Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi – my name is Allie and I am looking for a loving home. I weigh only eleven pounds and am eight years old, but for a Shih Tzu that is still pretty young! I am at that great age where I am reliably house trained and do not chew on shoes! I love to snuggle by your side, watch TV with you and cheer for your team. I especially enjoy going for walks to help you get your exercise and love to savor the many smells of the marvelous outdoor world. I get along well with other small dogs and love to play. I love playing tag with my foster mom and fetching my toys. I do appreciate sleeping on my foster mom’s bed but my kennel is my safe place. If you have to leave me alone for a while I will miss you but will not have an accident. I am a pretty quiet dog, but will bark a warning at other dogs. I know my basic commands, but I like to decide if it is a real command or just a suggestion. Although my body is small, my heart is big. I show my love by wagging my tail, snuggling and happily greeting you at the door. When I came into foster care I had bladder stones, but a special diet dissolved the stones. To stay healthy, I will always need a special maintenance diet to prevent bladder stones in the future. The special food does not cost more than regular dog food. I would like a quiet home with all adults – no children, please. I would just like to be in a home filled with love and with a family who is calm and patient with me.
Allie is healthy, spayed, current on vaccinations and is microchipped. Her adoption fee is $220.00 plus $16.01 sales tax for a total of $236.01. Her foster mom would like her adopters to live within a reasonable driving distance of the Twin Cities and would like for them to attend the Shih Tzu Reunion held in June every year.
Before contacting Shih Tzu Rescue of Minnesota regarding any dog, please thoroughly read the Adoption Information at http://www.shihtzurescuemn.org/adopt.html first to help you understand the process, requirements and timeline for adoption. You will also find an online adoption application there. To meet Allie and other dogs available for adoption from Shih Tzu Rescue of Minnesota, please visit with us from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM at the Minnetonka Petco near Ridgedale the last Saturday of every month.
