Shih Tzu Dogs Available for Adoption in Houston, Texas

Hello there and welcome to my Petfinder page. I am Mikey, and I am looking for a home to call my own: a forever place and someone to love. Let me know if you think we could be a great match.

Here’s my stats:
Possible Breed: Shih Tzu/mix
Gender: I’m a boy pup
Colors: your classic black and white
Age: I’m around 2 years old

Ideal Home:
A home without children under 8 is necessary, and it would be great to have people willing to give me attention, love, and cuddles. I’m a really good boy and would love to join your family!

My story:
I was dropped off and left at a vet clinic with my eye badly damaged and in severe pain. Frightened. Helpless. The vet called Lone Star, who got me my emergency surgery to remove the painful and damaged eye, and took me into their wonderful foster program!

Other:
I am house-trained in my foster home, but I will most likely need to be re-trained in my new home. We all have an adjustment period, so please be patient with me! I am willing to learn and will do my best, I promise!

For more information, email my foster mom at: Teresa@shihtzu-rescue.com

PS. I've had ALL my vetting, and oh boy, it was a lot. Here's what I had done:
Distemper/Parvo shots
Bordetella
Spay/Neuter-of course.
A fecal exam so I don't have any bad worms. Treatment if I do.
A heartworm test. Treatment if I am positive for heart worms.
BLOODWORK to make sure my liver and kidneys are working well, because you know, we doggies often have issues in the liver and kidneys.
A DENTAL exam AND cleaning if I needed it- yep, all my toofies are checked out.
See, that's a LOT. Ask your vet - that's a LOT.
