My story

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

 



Posey is an approximately 8-year-old Shih Tzu weighing just over 14 pounds. She is a tiny boss with a sweet edge, equal parts empress and little lady.

She is the picture of polite and has impeccable house manners. There is no jumping, no accidents, and no drama. Posey loves to be loved and expects her affection to be delivered with appropriate respect.

Posey is also a fighter. She came to rescue with severe pneumonia and spent 3 very scary days in the ER before pulling through like a champ. Her white blood cell count has improved significantly and she is back to her spunky self, though it has not yet fully normalized. Her body is still fighting something, which may be residual from the pneumonia or could be an as yet undiagnosed issue. She will require continued veterinary care and follow-up bloodwork.

She enjoys the company of other polite, respectful dogs, especially the boys, and happily accepts gentle affection from people of all ages, including kids. She does not tolerate hyper or pushy dogs and will correct poor manners quickly and with force (lol). Posey has not been cat tested, but she would likely ignore a feline housemate.

She loves walks around the neighborhood, has no issues jumping on the couch to make herself comfy or running up and down the stairs to track her person down. 

Posey rides well in the car, sleeps in her foster’s bed, and is so trustworthy that she has free range of the house when her foster family is away.

Because of her age and medical history, Posey may have future health needs and will do best in a calm, mature home that can provide consistency, monitoring, and a plenty of well-earned pampering.

Posey requires professional grooming every 6 to 8 weeks. If you have a groomer referral, please include it with your application.

If you have additional questions about Posey, please email 4leggedlayover@gmail.com

More about this rescue

Our primary mission is to rescue, care for, and find loving homes for homeless cats and dogs. Our secondary goal is to make sure all of these animals are spayed or neutered. It is a big task, but we are ready! Paws and Prayers is based in the Northeast Ohio region. We operate as a non-profit, incorporated organization that functions solely on the efforts of foster homes and adoption volunteers.
