My story

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

"Benji" is a 3 year old ShihTzu currently in foster care at FairyTails Pet Spaw. He has had a troubled past- in and out of homes and the shelter because of his behavior. After medical testing it was determined he has a Liver Shunt which would explain his out of nowhere temperment. The vet has recommended some medical treatments with a combination of nutrition to see if it can be maintained. Ammonia builds up in his body and causes a chemical reaction in his brain. He is house trained, we are going to recommend a one person home with no children. He does bond to one person.
He is doing really well with his medication and food. His medication is going to cost about $25 a month and he's eating a low protein dog food by Blue Buffalo.
