My story

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

In addition to the following profile for this dog, please first read the Adoption Information at http://www.shihtzurescuemn.org/adopt.html to understand the process, requirements and timeline for adoption. An adoption application can also be found in the Adoption Info section. If, after reading that information, you have any questions, please submit your question via e-mail and it will be answered. Please do not request a phone call. A personal phone call will only be made when an adoption application has been submitted and the foster parent wishes to consider the application. Thank you!

Meet Dash and Chewy! These two special boys are looking for the perfect family to welcome them in to their hearts and homes. They’ve been best friends since they were puppies, so they will be looking for a home together.

Chewy is black and white, 10 years old and weighs about 16 pounds. He is very mellow, relaxed dog who just loves to play with toys and cuddle. He can even catch a tennis ball in the air! Chewy has a big, funny personality and will make you laugh with his playfulness. He loves to be with his people and he takes his relaxation very seriously. He loves his daily evening walks and is a professional couch-cuddler. Both he and Dash are talkative little guys and they will let you know when you’ve forgotten to invite them to watch TV with you or if they are waiting for their evening treat. Chewy is a very healthy and active 10 year old and will be getting a dental cleaning before his adoption as well.

Dash is brown and white, 9 years old and weighs about 16 pounds. Dash has a heart of gold and wants nothing more than to be cuddled and loved. Dash’s eyes are the windows to his soul, and you could almost melt when he looks at you. He likes having a routine and sticking with it. If you happen to forget what time it is, he will remind you gently that it’s time for his snack or his walk. He keeps us all on schedule! Dash is an extra special boy because he has a heart murmur. He takes medication each day, but his medications are low-cost and he loves them because they are hidden in cheese. Sometimes he coughs or gets out of breath, but for the most part, he doesn’t let his condition slow him down. We will be obtaining more definite information about his heart condition while he is in rescue, but as far as we know, he will be able to live a normal life with medication.

Both Dash and Chewy love to go for walks, are kenneled during the day, and are pros at being house-trained. Usually, both dogs sleep in their kennels overnight, but Chewy has talked his foster family into sleeping in bed and he’s doing great with it so far. Both boys love car rides and travel well. They are friendly with all people, respectful older kids and other dogs.

Dash and Chewy are both neutered, current on vaccinations, microchipped, and on heartworm and flea/tick preventive. Each of their adoption fees are $120.00 plus $8.73 sales tax for a total of $128.73. Therefore, their adoption fee total for both is $257.46. Their foster family would like their adopters to live within the Twin Cities and hope that they will come to the Shih Tzu Rescue Reunion held in September every year.

To meet Dash and Chewy, please complete an adoption application. Or you can also see them and the other dogs available for adoption from Shih Tzu Rescue of Minnesota by visiting with us from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM at the Minnetonka Petco near Ridgedale the first Saturday of every month.
