Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Rusty, a charming Shih Tzu senior, with the sweetest overbite! This little fellow is simple and uncomplicated: he craves love, affection....and plenty of treats!
Rusty's life has taken a positive turn after a period of neglect following his owner's passing. A grooming session has not only made him look fabulous but also feel fantastic, and he's now ready to start fresh in a new home.
Shih Tzus, like Rusty, are known for their friendly and affectionate nature. They're small in size but big on personality, making them wonderful companions. Despite being mostly blind and deaf, Rusty compensates with his keen sense of smell. He's a treat lover and enjoys the occasional adventure to keep his senses sharp.
While Rusty may start off a bit shy, he quickly warms up to gentle touches and thrives on being petted. If you're ready to be part of Rusty's journey and offer him the love and care he deserves, please fill out an adoption application today.
Rusty's best days are yet to come, and he'll bring joy to your life as only a Shih Tzu can.
