Story
~12 yr old, 12 lbs Shih Tzu Mix NEUTERED MALE for ADOPTION Meet Yoobi! Yoobi is a 12 year old 12 lb Shih Tzu that came to us from Peninsula Humane Society. We thought they were confused when they asked us to take a dog, because this guy is obviously Ewok. This handsome fella recently had a grooming and is looking much better. Pictured was him on intake day. Yoobi has pretty significant arthritis in his hips and is on a couple of medications for this. His stiffness has improved significantly in the 2 weeks we have had him. We expect his meds to run around $15 a month and he will come with an approximate 3 month supply His ideal home is a quiet, calm household and he would be fine with other calm pets or as an only pet. He would love to be a lapdog for another senior who, like him, wants to enjoy their retirement years. This is what his foster home says about him- “Yoobi loves to be near his person. He loves being told he’s special and a “good boy”. He will seek out your attention if he feels you haven’t paid him enough of it. He can be your shadow or your floor mat as long as he is near you. Yoobi startles easily so I don’t suggest he live in a home with smaller children or elderly with any walking disabilities. He does NOT like anyone to be up in his face. Whether you are fixing meals for humans or dogs he tends to be protective. His foster home feeds him away from the other dogs and it’s going great. He can coexist with other dogs but he does not seek out attention from them. He would also be fine as an only pet Yoobi is a happy boy who loves going places. He walks good on a leash for short trips. His back legs bother him so we haven’t taken him on long walks yet. He can be yappy in the kennel for car rides for the first few minutes but eventually quiets down. He was curious with the cats at our vets office. We can certainly test him again if needed. He’s a good eater and never turns down food. He takes his meds in a small amount of wet food with no problems.” If you are interested in this sweet guy send us an email to beourpet@gmail.com GENERAL INFO: Housebroken?: Yes, we think so Crate Trained?: Yes Leash Trained?: Yes Rides Well in Car?: Yes Non-Shedding?: Yes or very low shed Good with cats?: Yes, we think so Good with dogs?: Yes but indifferent Qualifies for Seniors for Seniors?: yes Umbrella of Hope does not have any strict rules on ages of children because all children are different, but our best approximation is that this animal would do best with children over the age of 10 Umbrella of Hope is an all-volunteer, donation-run, non-profit animal rescue based out of Pittsburg, CA that rescues animals from local shelters, places them in private foster homes, provides them with needed medical care and then finds them new homes.
