Story
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.

Story
Stella is the sweetest, funniest little girl! She cracks me up everyday with her fast stepping, talkative rant she does when she wants a treat. She is VERY treat motivated... in fact, we call her "Chunky butt" because she is quite the little piggy. If your finger is too close to her face when you have a treat, you'd better watch out! LOL! We call her the piranha too! She is the most loving little girl and is such a trooper when we go on long rides in the mountains. She is a great traveler, crate trained, loves to sleep on any soft place around and doesn't seem over the age of 10, let along being over 13. I want her and her brother to be together since it's of no fault of their own that I am forced to find them a home where someone will be there to keep them warm, safe and happy for the rest of their lives. Stella is definitely the dominant girl in the room. We call her the "hall monitor" to other dogs if they're playing too hard, she'll line them out. LOL! She's just a doll....
