I'm a 1-2 yrs old, 12 lb Shih Tzu named Morris. I had liver shunt surgery on Jan 2 and have fully recovered so I am ready for a Forever Family.
 
Some things you should know about me.  
  • My foster mom calls me a "Dude with a "Tude!"  Yes, I have a slight attitude from being treated badly and I am bitey if I feel you are hurting me. My foster mom is the one that corrects me all the time, so I like my foster dad more!!
  • NO kids in the home so I don't have to worry about them around me.
  • I play with the dogs my size, especially females!  I'm a ladies' man!
  • I DO NOT like you to touch my food while I'm eating and I need to eat separated from another dog.  They call me food aggressive.
  • Playing "tug" with you and all the toys at my foster home is a LOT of FUN.  Still learning "drop" but haven't got that yet!
  • I am potty trained and when I need to go outside, I will growl and talk to you at the door.
  • Speaking of outside, I LOVE LOVE LOVE being outside so much that I never want to come back in! I would like a fenced yard and I do walk ok on a leash.
  • I sleep in my dog bed at night and I don't mind sleeping til 7am.  That 5:30am early bird wake up and going outside is for the birds!
  • Laying in your lap is nice, and I will let you know when I want you to pick me up to sit with you.
  • If I feel like something hurt me, I will growl to bite you, but my foster mom and dad "talk me off the ledge" and tell me how much they love me.  Within 15 seconds, I will lick their hand and all is forgiven.
  • Speaking of licking, I am a very obsessed licking machine!  I will lick you, your chair, blanket, another dog or anything else next to me.  It's a habit that I hope you are ok with!
