Story
Hello! My name is Boo Boo and I am a 10-year-old Shih Tzu gal who weighs 14 lbs. I’m a playful, clever, confident and curious girl. I’m also a self-proclaimed “wiggle-butt”. I’m looking to find my forever “child-free” home where I can be your best friend and companion. I am a pampered princess who knows what (and who) I like.
Favorite Things: Boo Boo rates going for walks (with LOTS of sniffing) as one of her favorite things to do. She will proudly “mark” on walks to let the neighbor dogs know she is present. On her walks, she barks at some dogs and not at others (her foster hasn’t figured out that pattern yet). While many dogs enjoy chasing lizards, she could care less about them when she spots one. She also has a strong love for cooked green beans, carrots and frozen blueberries for treats. Toys? She could take or leave them. She is independent and fine with doing her own thing. She loves attention, being pampered and is a huge fan of belly rubs.
Training & Manners: Boo Boo walks well on a leash, tolerates a car ride and is housebroken in her foster home (with a consistent, frequent schedule).
Health and Care: Boo Boo is spayed, up to date on vaccines, microchipped and she had a recent dental cleaning. In order to look and feel like the gorgeous gal she is, she will require professional grooming. She’s a total sweetheart but prefers to keep her “spa days” short and sweet! She is sensitive about her face and paws being handled, so a patient human who can take grooming slowly would be her dream match. Trust must be built to touch her face or paws.
Other Animals: Boo Boo is in a foster home without other furry canine friends. On her walks, she is non-reactive when meeting other dogs. We think with a proper introduction, she could do ok with a pal in her forever home. A meet and greet with other dogs would be necessary. We also think Boo Boo would be ok with cats with a proper introduction . . . her foster home does have a cat, but they are kept separate.
Children: Due to Boo Boo having a dislike and sensitivity to having her face and paws handled, a kid-free home is a must.
Ideal Home: Boo Boo isn’t picky as to the type of forever home and she would do well in a single-family home, condo or apartment. She can be left home alone for several hours without issues when she is in her secure space. Her chosen spot is on the sofa, recliner or on the floor (next to her dog bed). The cats in her foster home have called dibs on the human bed, but if allowed, Boo Boo would probably enjoy sleeping with her humans at night.
Overall: If you are looking for a loving, chill and laid back gal who is sure to bring joy to your life, Boo Boo could be the one for you. If you think you meet her criteria, we encourage you to visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org (http://www.poodleandpoochrescue.org/) and submit an adoption application. If it looks like a good fit, her foster family will reach out with more information. Boo Boo’s adoption donation is $300.
