We rescued the most beautiful purebred Shih Tzu dog named Chewie. Chewie is a gorgeous male 15 lb 18 month old cutie! Chewie is such a beautiful sweet and affectionate dog. He is neutered, up to date on all shots, and heartworm and flea and tick prevents, dewormed and microchipped! Chewie's adoption donation is only 400.00 Are you the one for Chewie?
Update from foster dad...Chewie is a typical Shih Tzu. We do not recommend for first time dog owners or an inexperienced pet owner. They can be very bratty and nippy. We do not recommend any young children under 13. This breed requires steady grooming at least once every 6 to 8 weeks. We got Chewie groomed for his new family. If he is not groomed he will get mattes. Chewie could also use training as he will learn quickly, he is so smart! He seems to be housetrained and is very very intelligent. He knows basic commands, like sit, go in crate etc. He does bark at first at strangers but then warms up. He is my shadow anywhere I go in my house! Chewie is very affectionate and will give kisses! He loves other dogs and even cats. Are you the one for Chewie?
