My story

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

Bugsy is a handicapped Shih Tzu who definitely has a will to live. He has an old injury probably resulting from being hit by a car. His back legs were probably crushed because he cannot bend them. He can walk, but he usually hops. When he does walk, his rear legs wobble. He gets along very well but he does drag his legs sometimes. He was found as a stray and they had to use a pole to catch him. For the first 2 days, he refused to walk and he must have known that he was going to be euthanized because all of a sudden he started walking and giving everyone lots of love. They still could not find anyone to adopt him. They contacted us the day he was to be euthanized and of course we took him. The injury to too old to be repaired, but he still gets along great and loves life. We called him Bugsy because of his bulging eyes. He is about 2 years old and has a long life with lots of love to give. Please come to meet this adorable boy!
