Toy (we call him ToyBoy) is a 15 year old Shih Tzu. He will be 16 in October 2023. He is almost nearly blind and deaf but very able-bodied and functions well once he knows his surroundings. He is potty trained to go outside throughout the day. He is anxious in new environments and around new people but loves to sniff his way around. It does take him awhile to build comfort and trust with new people.
His elderly owner died at the end of January 2023 and he searched for her for several weeks and was quite upset but has settled down now. He enjoyed living with her for over 10 years in a quiet peaceful atmosphere. He has not been around other animals or children
He sleeps a lot and loves to eat. He loves popcorn
Once he warms up to people he LOVES ear scratches, head pats/petting and long naps on laps.
He enjoys being outside to sniff everything but gets tired out quite easily on walks.
