Story
Meet Stash - he is Affectionate, Couch, Friendly, Funny, Gentle, Loves, Loyal, Playful, Smart. Stash is an 8-year-old Shih Tzu looking for his forever loving home. He had a rough time before he came to ARRF as a foster; since then, he has blossomed into a healthy, happy pooch. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all his vaccines. He weighs 12 lbs. Stash can be nippy until he realizes you are there just for him, and then he will love you and be a happy boy in his very own home. His little life hasn't been the happiest until now so he is loathe to share with others. Lots of love and belly rugs will go a long way with this cutie! Stash is crate trained and sleeps in his crate through the night. He loves to go for walks and does well on a leash. To meet Stash, please call or text Brande at (619) 636-1866. Stash is being fostered in the East County of San Diego.
