My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Age: 7 years
Breed: Shih Tzu mix
Gender: Male
Neutered: Yes
Kids: No
Apartments: Yes
Cats: Dominate dog friendly cat
Dogs: Yes ( if they don't mind a pestie little brother)

Dash is a fun and affectionate little guy but if pushed to far he can bite so an experienced owner that can read body language is a must. With time he bonds really well with his handler and enjoys doing everything with them. Dash needs some work walking on leash but does really well with his easy walker harness. Unfortunately at this point he needs to be sedated to be groomed but we think once he is in a stable environment he can learn to trust and realize that grooming doesn’t have to hurt.
In regards to his behavior around dogs Dash can be a bit of a pest. Something like a younger sibling trying to be part of other siblings gang. He wants to get a reaction whether it be good or bad from a dog and will persist until either the human steps in or he gets what he wants. He can be a lot of fun and though he likes other dogs he might be too much for a lot of dogs to handle. He listens when he is told to do something and is house trained.
We are seeking an experienced home with NO kids; a confidant dog friendly cat would be great but not necessary. He would do fine in an apartment.
