Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Faith has been at her volunteer home now for about 2 weeks and is doing great at learning how to be a pet! Her favorite thing to do is to lie in front of the window and watch things outside! During the day she likes to nap unless she goes outside to hang out! She really likes to be outside to watch everything going on. She doesn’t really play much, but that could change if she was introduced to a playful dog. She is wonderful as a lap dog, doesn’t bark, chew, or jump! At most, she occasionally barks in her sleep!
All of her teeth have been pulled as they were icky. Faith is being fed dry dog food with broth and occasionally some tuna or chicken and loves it! She is doing well with all people, including a very young neighbor! Faith does well in the bath and is potty trained. She isn’t great about letting her humans know when to go out, but she is taken out about three times a day and is very consistent! She is okay on a tie out and will walk on a leash. However, right now, she is so distracted by everything that it is a VERY SLOW walk! Her volunteer home has noticed that she is surprised by strange noises but is always improving.
Faith is a 7 year old Shih Tzu and weighs about 13 pounds. Faith's adoption fee is $190.00. If you are interested in adopting Faith, please complete the adoption application at http://www.secondchancedogrescueofiowa.com/adoption.html
