Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Lagos is a very loving 9-year-old male Shih Tzu/Maltese mix looking for a forever home.
He does have a grade 2 heart murmur, mitral valve disease, and an enlarged heart. He has started medication to help his condition and will hopefully be able to get a much-needed dental soon. Lagos is looking for a home where he can relax and enjoy his senior days as much as possible.
After losing his family, Lagos found himself in need of a new start. He is a very sweet boy. He loves meeting people and getting lots of attention. Lagos would be happiest in a home where his people can spend lots of time with him, as he does have separation anxiety. Lagos has met small dogs through the fence at the shelter and has done well. He hasn't met large dogs or cats yet.
