Here's what the humans have to say about me:
THE RESCUE HAS DECIDED TO ABSORB THE ADOPTION FEES FOR THIS DOG IN ORDER TO PLACE HER AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE INTO A LOVING, FOREVER HOME. THIS SENIOR GIRL DESERVES IT! THE ONLY FEE THAT THE ADOPTER WILL INCUR IS THE $125 TRANSPORT FEE.
PLEASE NOTE: We are listing this dog in the hopes of saving more dogs from a high-kill shelter in Tennessee. This dog has been fully vetted, spayed/neutered, and is currently being boarded in a vet facility in Tennessee, awaiting an adoptive home. Our friends in rescue, Tipton Treasures, have done all the work and now, you can reap the benefits! The Tipton County Animal Control has a 90% kill rate and something has to be done. For now, we are just trying to save as many dogs as we can. My Constant Companion will require an approved application (please go to the link below for our e-mail address and we will e-mail you our application) and will arrange the transport. We use a professional transport that runs bi-weekly that brings dogs in need to waiting rescues and adopters. These dogs will not be able to make the trip without an approved adopter awaiting them. The adoption fee of $375 helps to cover the veterinary and boarding bills for each dog (and does not even coming come close to actually covering the bills completely) and there is a $125 charge for the transport (this is fee the transporters charge and must be paid to them when the dog is picked up). You will be responsible for picking the dog up from the transport. The closest meeting place to the Wilmington/Philadelphia area is at the Walt Whitman Service Center on the NJ Turnpike in Trenton. Please also realize that this dog may need some extra housetraining work...the poor thing has gone from a shelter into a kennel, and we know that sometimes they need a refresher course! We realize that this is not the easiest or cheapest way to adopt, but it is very expensive to fully vet, board and transport dogs and this is the only way to save their lives! You will be rewarded with a lifetime of love and companionship.
We also ask that you PLEASE only contact us if you are truly interested in adopting one of these dogs...this is not the time for window shopping, unfortunately, as this could cause other dogs to lose their lives because of lack of space!
Poor Gabby found herself homeless at 11 years old! Poor girl...what a horrible thing to have happen when she should be enjoying her golden years. She is approximately 15 lbs of love and sweetness. A typical lap dog. Right now, she is being treated for a yeast infection on her skin, and will likely be on medication (Atopica) longterm to keep her skin in good condition. She also has drops for dry eye...but this is quite common for Shih Tzus. Could you find it in your heart to give this girl the loving home she deserves?
Because of her age, it might be best that she live in a home without children under 10.
