8 years and 23 pounds – loved and cared for – housetrained – great recall – quiet – not used to other dogs but would likely be fine with a quiet dog companion
Sammy is an 8 year old shihtzu (23 pounds) who for all his life has been the loved and cared for pet of elderly owners who unfortunately both have become seriously ill. He has excellent teeth and is clean in the house. His foster Mom says he loves the garden and comes when he is called. Like all shihtzus, when he is frightened or confused he does the air-snap thing but if allowed to relax, very soon settles down. His tail wags most of the time and he is quiet in the car and garden. Sammy has accepted the other dogs but he is not used to living with other dogs. But he would likely be fine with a quiet brother or sister. Would you like to meet his little cutie? —Thank you for your interest in a Minpinerie Rescue Group dog. We are based in the Ottawa area.
