My personality

My story

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

Meet adorable "Munchkin" ! This male 10 year old sweetie Shih Tzu was found in the street and brought to our local Police Precinct. He was in terrible shape, but still so good natured. We take the animals from our local Police Pct, provide the medicals, assess their behavior, and adopt them out.
Munchin has an adorable undershot jaw. We did bloodwork, dental, and vaccines so he is ready to live with a new forever home. Munchkin is good with cats and dogs!
Like all animals adopted from the ANIMAL ADOPTION VETERINARY CENTER,
Munchkin comes with ONE YEAR TOTALLY FREE VETERINARY CARE for any
illness, if one occurs in the first year, and FREE LIFETIME ANNUAL EXAMS at the LOW COST VET MOBILE!

More about this rescue

Companion Animal Network was founded by Garo Alexanian in 1989 out of a love for animals and out of frustration at the high euthansia rate of animals in the New York Metropolitan area. Since then Garo and Companion Animal Network have taken an active part in the animal rescue community by raising awareness both publically and politically and has rescued/adopted over 2000 animals.
In association with the Animal Care and Control of NYC and the Mayor's Alliance, Companion Animal Network created the "Safety Net" Program which assists pet owners with low-cost vet care, boarding, legal assistance and other solutions in helping owners keep their pets when faced with hardship situations.
