Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Balony is a handsome, incredibly sweet, eight-year-old, 15-pound, male, black and white Shih Tzu looking for a loving guardian. Balony landed at Chicago Animal Care and Control through no fault of his own. He loves people and other dogs. He loves to be pet, rolls over for belly rubs, and lets you pick him up and hug him. He knows the commands sit, dance, and come … he just wants to be by your side. He is crate-trained and appears to be housebroken. He has not yet been cat-tested. He is healthy, de-wormed, up-to-date on vaccines, micro-chipped, heartworm-tested and on monthly preventative. He is missing some teeth so his tongue hangs out of the side of his mouth in an adorable fashion. He will be neutered prior to adoption. To meet and possibly adopt Balony, please contact Gloria at fido@famousfidorescue.com or 773-907-0305. His adoption fee of $200 benefits the rescued pets of Famous Fido’s. Balony and the rest of the rescue dogs spend their days at the Famous Fido Dog Boutique and Bakery at 5430 N. Clark Street in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood. Stop in and meet some of these lovable souls.
