Story
Looks like: Shih Tzu Male, 13 years old (estimated), 19 pounds Adorable Brando would like to make you an offer you can't refuse! He is looking for a calm home with a sunbathing spot, belly rubs and treats, and slow, sniffy walks surveying his territory. In exchange, he can offer you a super easygoing, mellow temperament: he's good on leash, comfortable being left alone, not vocal, gets along with cats, and gets along with other dogs (though he is more interested in being a couch potato than playing). Brando is a friendly guy who loves meeting new people and loves to be handled and snuggled with. Bonus? Glimpses of his adorable tongue sticking out even when he's asleep. Brando may be spry for his age, but he would prefer to be in a home where the main focus is relaxing. Are you ready to welcome this cutie as the godfather of your home? Brando came to us as a stray picked up by Ventura County Animal Services.
