Carmella - Shih Tzu Dog for Adoption in Kimberlin Heights, Tennessee

Carmella is as pretty on the inside as she is on the outside. She brings her charming personality with the cutest underbite you have ever seen! She is still learning a few dog things but has easily settled in to the role of princess.

Likes: to run in the backyard and play with a small ball. She has not mastered walking on a leash and for that reason she would do best with a secure fenced in yard. She is a smart girl and quick learner. She is learning how to walk on a leash using a harness. She loves playing with other small dogs. She is a little skittish around the big dogs. Does not like loud noises of any kind. Would do best without small children but older kids are just fine. She loves to be in a lap and gives the best loving while she is watching TV. She does best with wet dog food due to her underbite. Its a little hard for her to chew the kibble. She is 100 percent pee pad trained and also does great potting but needs a little patience and a consistent schedule where she can go out about every 4 hours. She is quiet and clean and has been a pleasure to have as a foster baby.
