Story
AMY, age 8, shitzu.  This little gal is well-mannered in the house, smiley and playful with other dogs ; we don't know about cats and we do not recommend kids. Amy is good on a leash, easy going and low key but she does need an adopter who can manage her separation anxiety and some health issues. Amy's trachea is deformed which causes a condition known as collapsing trachea. As a result she snores loudly, and needs to be walked on a harness (tightly fastened) not a collar and leash. This does not affect her quality of life and she has lived with this for many years. Amy has bonded with both of her foster parents but prefers the company of her foster Dad. She will follow you around but does not like to be held, so she is not a lap dog. Her foster writes, "Amy loves to be near her person or at least be able to see them. She does suffer from separation anxiety and will bark if she can’t see you. She doesn’t like to be alone. She is very vocal when it comes to food and demands to eat whatever you are eating so we are working on changing this!" Amy loves other dogs and would do best with at least one other dog, male or female, in the home. Her foster says, " She is quite laid back but enjoys going for daily walks. She is not overly affectionate and doesn’t like to be held much. But she will follow you around like a shadow and will lay near you at all times. " This dog is available and everything we know about this dog is included in the dog's description. We are only able to respond to questions once a completed application is received https://crisisdogsnc.org/dog-adoption/. We do not respond to questions about our dogs sent through email or social media. Excellent vet references and a virtual home visit required. Your prior or current dog must be on year-round heartworm prevention. We transport by land or air whenever possible. Unless there is definitive documentation our breed and age assessments are based on visual appearances.April 28, 2024, 12:31 pm
