Story
Boots is about 10lbs of total cuteness! He is a little Shih Tzu, about 2 years old. He still has plenty of puppy play in him! He likes toys – stuffies, small balls (still learning to bring back for fetch, but will chase), and he likes treats! He has confidence and doesn’t yet understand boundaries – so if you are seated, be prepared for this little nugget to launch into your lap! Boots gets along with other dogs, and has warmed up to the dogs in his foster home, all which weigh between 10-30 lbs. He may be a little wary of dogs that are a lot bigger than he is.
Boots came to Humane Tomorrow because his previous owner had 38 (yes, 38!) dogs and could no longer care for them. Humane Tomorrow took 16 and other rescue groups took the remainng. All the dogs came in extremely dirty, matted, and in need of medical care. Boots is now groomed and vetted and ready for adoption.
Boots is a very good boy, especially considering his background situation. Boots loves attention – back scratches, behind the ears, and on your lap are all favorites of Boots! It took him a little while to understand a collar, and we are currently working with a harness and leash, but he is eager to learn and loves to be with his people. His house training is coming along, although he doesn’t really like the crate, especially at night, but he will snuggle into his doggie bed (or if you allow, on your bed) and sleep well at night.
These Boots are made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do,…….with his loving smile and his “I’m so sweet” look, Boots will be walking all over you to get attention!
If interested in Boots, please complete an application and one of our adoption counselors will be in touch.
