*** FENCED YARD ** LIKES RESPONSIBLE KIDS *** ANOTHER SMALL DOG IN HOME TO PLAY WITH *** NO or FEW STEPS ***
I'm BEETLE nicknamed "Beetle Bug"!
A 2 yr old 10 lb Shih Tzu, rescued from a breeder where I spent 2 years in a cage.
**** My Perfect Forever Family would understand RETIRED BREEDER DOGS, have a fenced yard, another little dog I can play with AND a LOT of SQUEAKY TOYS! ****
My foster mom said I must tell you some things:
* I'm very playful feisty pup and would LOVE to play with another dog in your home.
* I'd like a semi-Quiet home; a lot of noise stresses me.
* Responsible kids because I want them to love me and not scare me.
* I can play toys with you or entertain myself with toys, especially those that
SQUEAK
!!!
* My back legs are not as strong as I'd like, so few or no steps would be great.
* She said to tell you
I like to chew stuff like a puppy does
; plastic from cardboard & cardboard, papers from her desk, and she caught me dragging those small steps from the sofa to the other side of room to chew the material! lol!!
* I am
NOT HOUSEBROKEN; I potty outside on the concrete 75% of the time but still have accidents inside. I'm still trying
because it's hard from being in cage for 2 years. She said I'm a "work in progress"!
* I still
spin in circles when pottying, when stressed or excited to eat!
which is common in retired breeder dogs.
* a fenced yard would be great to keep me safe.
* I'm
learning to walk on leash
.
* AND lastly,
I'M A GREAT SNUGGLER..... KISSING YOUR NOSE AND EARS!!!
