Agatha is a beautiful 8yr old female Shih Tzu who recently retired from breeding.  She is looking for a home with another dog to show her the ropes of family/house life.  She needs a fenced yard since she does not understand that leash business.  She prefers to use the restroom outside and is close to potty trained.  She is a bit overweight at 15lbs so she needs someone that will help her slim down.  She is good with her foster dog brothers and shows no interest in the neighbor dogs.  She should be fine with older considerate kids but has not met any in her foster home. Also, most likely fine with a cat but has not met one yet. She needs a calm home where she can continue to learn to trust people.
 
Agatha has a very sweet disposition.  She loves carrying her toys from one doggy bed to another and testing out different nap locations.  She recently learned the doggy stairs to the couch and can't get enough of it.  She doesn't like being carried or held - she really wants to learn and do it all on her own.  But she will gladly come up for all the pets and love.  
 
If you already have a dog and a fence, please fill out an application to learn more about sweet lady Agatha.
