Story
In addition to the following profile for this dog, please first read the Adoption Information at http://www.shihtzurescuemn.org/adopt.html to understand the process, requirements and timeline for adoption. An adoption application can also be found in the Adoption Info section. If, after reading that information, you have any questions, please submit your question via e-mail and it will be answered. Please do not request a phone call. A personal phone call will only be made when an adoption application has been submitted and the foster parent wishes to consider the application. Thank you!
Wait till you meet Big B! He is a charming 5 year-old, white and tan male Shih Tzu. He is chill, sweet, and will melt your heart. He is extremely gentle and mild-mannered and enjoys meeting new people. His foster family LOVES all the cuddles he gives! He is a very snuggly lap dog who spends most of his time indoors, but also walks beautifully on a leash for short walks. He enjoys some playtime and companionship with other small dogs. A fenced backyard would be great, but not a deal breaker, as long as his family will commit to giving Big B time to play outside as needed. He knows a few basic commands, and his foster parents are helping him learn a bit more. He is very eager to please, and it would be great if his new family will continue with his basic training. He is fully house-trained, listens well, and does not beg for people food!
Big B is very bonded to people and needs a family that is home much of the day. He also needs to sleep in bed with his family, which is a MUST! He will do well with another small dog, as he was used to one in his previous home, but he would be okay being the sole focus of attention too.
These are the requirements for Big B’s new family:
1. Must be home most of the day (gone no more than 2-3 hours at a time) and include Big B in their daily activities, and taking him with them in appropriate situations.
2. An adults only home, or a family with children over the age of ten who have experience in gently interacting with a small dog.
3. Must welcome Big B to sleep in bed at night with his family. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST.
4. Will give him adequate outdoor exercise, including short daily walks and hopefully a fenced yard where he can freely explore without being on a leash.
5. Agree to NEVER USE A RETRACTABLE LEASH. Using a retractable leash violates the adoption contract.
6. Live within 60 miles of Saint Paul, MN.
7. Commit to attending the Shih Tzu Rescue Reunion held each year in September.
We hope you don’t find these requirements to be restrictive. If you understand the reason for having requirements and accept them, then you may be the family for Big B! He is just a delightful, loving boy who will bring a special family many years of joy and happiness.
Big B is current on vaccinations, microchipped, and on heartworm and flea/tick preventative. He is scheduled to be neutered on March 5th but will be available for adoption after a short recovery period in his foster home. Applications are being accepted now for his adoption. His adoption fee is $370.00 plus $33.39 sales tax for a total of $403.39.
To meet Big B, please complete an adoption application at the website listed in the first paragraph. Or you can also see him and the other dogs available for adoption from Shih Tzu Rescue of Minnesota by visiting with us from 10:00 AM to 12:00 noon the first Saturday of every month at the Southtown PetCo in Bloomington, MN.
