Story
Meet Pickles, an absolutely adorable senior gentleman who is so very happy. Through no fault of his own, this sweet boy is searching for a loving retirement home where he can finally enjoy the care and comfort he deserves.Pickles was found as a stray in rough condition, with matted fur and crusted eyes. When his owner was located, they sadly admitted they could no longer properly care for him and made the difficult decision to surrender him. Despite everything he's been through, Pickles remains a happy, affectionate little guy who greets each day with enthusiasm and a smile.While he may be a senior, Pickles still has plenty of pep in his step. He loves spending time with people of all ages, enjoys a couple of daily walks, and is always curious about what everyone is doing. Whether he's exploring the yard, following his people around the house, or joining you for a car ride, Pickles simply loves being part of the action.Pickles gets along well with other dogs and settles nicely in his crate. He may whine a bit if he can see his people, but he quickly relaxes and sleeps soundly through the night. His favorite place is wherever his humans are.Like many seniors, Pickles does have a few medical needs. He has chronic dry eye in both eyes and requires daily eye medication to keep him comfortable. He also has some broken teeth that need evaluation, and PAWS is already arranging a dental exam for him. His future family should be prepared to administer eye medication three times a day and keep up with regular grooming appointments.Pickles doesn't ask for much—just a soft place to rest, a few walks, and people to love. In return, he'll provide endless companionship, gentle affection, and gratitude for being given the second chance he deserves. This precious boy is ready to spend his golden years surrounded by the love and care he's been missing.Name: PicklesBreed: Shih Tzu/Brussels Griffon (Breed mix is not guaranteed-no DNA testing done).Sex: MaleAge: 9 years (estimated)Weight: 13 lbs.Spayed/Neutered: To be scheduledVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Negative on recent testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:Good with Children: YesGood with Dogs: YesGood with Cats: Unknown Adoption Fee: $200Location of dog currently: New EnglandIMPORTANT INFORMATION - Paws New England is a foster-based rescue; our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south & New England.
