Nixon - Shih Tzu Dog Available for Adoption in Nantucket, Massachusetts
NIXON
Shih Tzu
🇺🇸
Nantucket, Massachusetts
May 4th
male, small, senior
DESCRIPTION
Nixon is a 14.5-year-old Shih Tzu who's gentle, easygoing, and happiest when he’s right by your side. His previous guardian died, and Nixon needs a safe place to live out his remaining years, so we are searching for a permanent foster (also known as "fospice") home for him.
Nixon . ..
• Just wants to be near you
• Enjoys his leash walks and still moves along at a nice little clip
• Sleeps peacefully through the night (right in bed with you)
• Is low-maintenance and easy to care for
He does have a bit of separation anxiety and may bark when left alone, so he’d do best in a home where someone is around most of the time. He’d make a wonderful companion for an older adult/couple or someone who enjoys a quiet, cozy home lifestyle.
NiSHA will cover all supplies and any medical care Nixon may need. All you have to provide is a loving home, a warm bed, and a heart willing to give him comfort in his golden days.
This is about giving a sweet senior the peace, dignity, and love he deserves.
