Sammy is an eight-year-old male Shih Tzu who weighs almost 16 pounds. As you can see from his photo, he is an adorable, handsome boy. He lived his life in a very loving home, but came into our rescue when his owner passed away. Even though he was very attached to her, he has adjusted well in his foster home and loves his foster mom. He is just a very sweet boy who wants someone who loves him and he can love in return.
Sammy is a sweetheart who loves attention and snuggling beside his foster mom. He enjoys running around in the fenced back yard, following his foster-sibling around and marking each spot after him. He enjoys a daily walk or two depending on the weather. He gets along fine with the other two dogs at his foster home. He came from a single adult, quiet home who had no children, and it would be best if he lives in a calm, quiet, adults only home. The ideal home for Sammy will be one where he can relax beside his owner(s) and get plenty of attention. That's his happy place. He asks for very little other than a person who will give him a place to lay next to, some gentle petting, and soothing words.
He likes sleeping in bed with his foster mom and foster siblings so he can snuggle beside her as close as possible. He is house-trained, eats very well and enjoys riding in the car too.
These the requirements for Sammy’s new family:
1. A quiet, adults only home where Sammy will be the center of attention. He is happiest when he can be physically close to his family, where he can actually snuggle up beside them. So a family who is home much of the day and will include Sammy in their lives would be best.
2. Will allow Sammy to sleep with them in their bed. Again, he is just wants to be near you!
3. Can be in a home with another small dog who is of similar energy and nature. But he would also do well as an only dog.
4. A fenced yard would be great, but is not a deal breaker as long as he is taken on a couple long walks each day, weather permitting.
5. Must live within 75 miles of New Brighton, MN.
6. Try to attend the annual Shih Tzu Rescue Reunion held each year in September.
Sammy is neutered, current on vaccinations, microchipped, and on heartworm and flea/tick preventative. His adoption fee is $320.00 plus $28.88 sales tax for a total of $348.88.
To meet Sammy, please complete an adoption application at the website listed in the first paragraph. Or you can also see him and the other dogs available for adoption from Shih Tzu Rescue of Minnesota at an upcoming meet and greet which will be determined within the next couple weeks. Please go to our website www.shihtzurescuemn.org for the exact date, time and location.
