Story
Meet Ernie – A Senior Shih Tzu Who Will Melt Your Heart! 🐾 Name: Ernie 🐾 Age: Senior (approx. 10+ years) 🐾 Breed: Shih Tzu 🐾 Gender: Male 🐾 Personality: Affectionate, calm, and sweet Ernie may be a senior, but his heart is full of love, and he’s ready to share it with the right family. This sweet Shih Tzu has a gentle, easy-going nature and loves to be around people. Though Ernie is hard of hearing and doesn't see very well, it doesn’t slow him down one bit! In fact, his wonderful personality shines even brighter because of it. He’s a calm and affectionate dog who thrives on companionship and enjoys the simple pleasures in life. What Ernie Needs in His Forever Family: A Quiet, Loving Home: Ernie thrives in a calm environment where he can relax and feel safe. He’s perfect for a family or individual who can provide a peaceful, stable routine. Companionship: Ernie loves people and gets along beautifully with other calm dogs. If you have another dog who enjoys a slower pace and quiet moments, Ernie would be delighted to have a buddy! Lots of Attention: Ernie may not be able to hear much or see clearly, but he sure knows when you're near! He loves spending time with his humans and will follow you around for affection and companionship. He’ll be your best friend through and through. Special Considerations: Hard of Hearing & Limited Vision: Due to his age, Ernie has some hearing and vision loss. He may not respond to vocal cues, but he’s still very aware of his environment and the people around him. He’ll likely rely more on touch and scent to get around. Calm, Low-Energy Lifestyle: Ernie’s ideal day involves plenty of naps, gentle walks, and lots of cuddling. He’s not looking for a high-energy household but rather a quiet and comfortable place where he can enjoy his golden years. Health and Care: As a senior dog, Ernie will need regular veterinary check-ups to ensure he stays comfortable and happy in his later years. He’s looking for a family who can provide gentle care, love, and patience. Ernie may not see or hear like he used to, but he has so much love to give. If you’re looking for a loyal, easy-going companion who will fill your heart with joy, Ernie might be the perfect fit for you! Ready to meet Ernie? Come give this sweet boy the loving home he deserves.
