A Senior Female Shitzu - Abandoned by Owner

Meet Chata - an abandoned senior Shitzu

A senior full-bred Shitzu has been rescued from a kill-shelter by an independent rescuer.

She is a senior dog that appears to be about 10-11 years old.

The family who kept her for 9 years had dropped her off at the shelter, knowing it was a kill-shelter and the dog would not have many days to live if somebody rescued her.

We are looking for someone who can let her occupy a little space in his/her home.

She is currently living with a foster family with a young boy and two dogs, and there hasn’t been any problem.

Facts about the dog:

·         10-11 years old

·         Full-bred Shitzu

·         Spayed

·         Shots up-to-date

·         House-broken

·         No health issues except for overweight (At the time of rescue, she had two tumors in her ears. Both the tumors were surgically removed, and have completely healed)

·         Low-energy. Doesn’t care about walking outside much. Mostly on bed sleeping

·         Doesn’t appear to be interested in other dogs or children, thus, no problem living with them.

·         No aggression

·         Quiet

·         Loves to eat

·         Re-homing fee – Please e-mail

As she is a low-energy senior dog, she would be a good apartment or condo pet, or for someone who is low-energy or old, and likes staying indoors.

When she was rescued she didn’t act affectionate to anybody, and stayed in her own shell. She has slowly opened up to her foster lady, and now she brightens up to see her especially at feeding times.

She needs someone who can accept her the way she is, and who has patience to work with her at a slow pace until she feels comfortable and warm enough to naturally open up to him/her. She doesn’t have many years left.

We want her to live that time in a nice and warm home feeling welcomed and needed.

If you are interested in meeting her, or if you know of someone who would be, please let me know.

Thank you!
