Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Dex!
Age: Golden Oldie
Weight: 12 lbs (and trying to gain some)
Good with: kids (I live with two small humans) and other dogs. I haven’t met any cats yet.
House trained: yes, I bark at the door when I need to go out.
Crate trained: yes
Nice to meet you, I’m Dex! I ended up in rescue when my former owners could no longer keep me. My foster mom says I’m “easy peasy.” You can find me either snoozing in a dog bed or following the humans around. I do tend to get underfoot sometimes – especially in the kitchen! I like being by the humans and I like food.
Although I’m a senior guy, I don’t have any known health issues. My hearing and vision both are a bit limited, but I get around just fine and it adds to my charm. I got a dental when I first ended up in rescue and given my small size, my jaw was fractured during the procedure. I’m all healed up now, but my foster parents feed me canned food- partly because I don’t have any teeth and partly because they say I should put on some weight. As a shih tzu, I need to be groomed once awhile to keep looking my best.
I’m generally a pretty quiet guy, but I bark when I need to go outside and when I want to come back in. I usually sleep in my crate at night and when my foster family is out of the house. I don’t mind it! But I probably don’t need to be crated. I have good house manners. I enjoy walking around the back yard and short walks, but I don’t need a lot of exercise.
Hope to meet you soon!
