ADOPTION PENDING -Rufus is a soulful, playful 4 1/2- year old, 19 pounds, neutered male Shih-Tzu, who needs a loving home. He is currently being fostered with another dog and a cat.  He is a bit timid with men at first but warms up quickly. His previous guardian surrendered him when she moved and couldn't bring him to her new home. He gets along well with other dogs and cats, will sleep with you in bed at night, and will make a great addition to a family. Three years ago he was treated for IMHA, but is currently healthy. His vet recommended an annual blood test for maintenance.  Medical records can be provided to your vet as well. Shih-Tzu's are a breed that requires regular professional grooming every 6 - 8 weeks.  The more brushing and grooming you can do at home the longer you can go between.  Grooming cost around $75 each time.  You must figure this extra expense before you adopt a Shih-Tzu Rufus requires urinary health perception food to prevent stones.  Rufus does have some mild separation anxiety when being left alone, but that is also resolving. Rufus is fine with most dogs, and due to his separation anxiety, he will only be placed in a home with another small/medium, friendly, social, laid back dog.  Rufus needs a buddy in the home to pal around with...no exceptions.  In addition to having another small dog in the home, Rufus's forever home should not have any children under the age of 10 who live in or visit unsupervised to the home.    Older children who can be gentle, and allow Rufus to come to them on his own terms would be fine.   APPLICATION: http://hals.rescuegroups.org/forms/form_humanverify?formid=3016 Copy and paste or click above.
