Story
Louis likes a lot of attention, loves playing with my granddaughters and likes to be underneath someone majority of the time someone who can give him the attention that he needs because my husband and I work a lot he’s how strange but it’s not used to being around. A lot of people he’s been around dogs a couple of times there was never any issues but he’s a little standoffish with other pets.

Crunch Shih Tzu | Male | 6 lbs DOB: 06/21/26 Neutered • Microchipped • Core vaccinations Current on heartworm and flea preventative Adoption Donation: $800.00 (Tax Deductible) Please read this bio in its ENTIRETY before applying. Gateway 4 Paws is a 100% foster-based rescue. Answers to frequently asked questions about our adoption process are available on our website, www.gateway4paws.org. If your family meets our basic requirements and the Crunch requirements, email gateway4paws@gmail.com or complete an adoption application found under the ADOPTION tab on our website. Current pets must be up to date on core vaccinations, receive yearly heartworm testing, and be on heartworm preventative. This information will be verified with your vet office. We do not ship or transport. Applicants must live within 350 miles of Maryville, Illinois, and be able to drive to that area for a meet and greet. Only completed applications that meet the requirements will be considered. Crunch is ready to find a family to call his own! He and his brothers (Skor & Twix) “aged out” and were no longer wanted by their breeder, but this playful little boy has a lifetime of love ahead of him. Crunch enjoys playing with his brothers and would do well with other small dogs in the home. Small children must be gentle and respectful, understanding that Crunch is a puppy who is still learning, too. Housetraining is still a work in progress. His new family will need patience, consistency, and a regular potty routine as he learns. Crunch will need either a secure physical fenced yard or a sturdy x-pen until he is comfortable walking on a harness and leash. He should never be off leash unless he is in a secure, enclosed area. Make sure the entire household it ready to consider Crunch before completing an application.
