Why I need a new home

Relocating

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:


Kona Joe is the sweetest boy out there. He's a bit goofy, can't climb stairs very well and is very talkative. He may be 13 and a half, but you would never know it. Most people are shocked when I tell them how old Kona and his sister Stella are. They're very youthful and playful! The last thing I ever wanted to do was to rehome my adorable Shih tzus, but I also need to be unselfish and think of them when I go back to work full time. I will be gone 6 to 8 hours a day and have no fenced in secure area to keep them in. It wouldn't be fair to them to have them crated all day long, in hopes that they don't need to go out and go potty or get a drink. I would prefer to keep this brother and sister together but this profile only allows me to do one dog at a time. It would be horrible to separate them! I pray that I can find the perfect place for these two cuties to live out the rest of their days in a loving, safe environment.
