MEET AND GREET OUR AVAILABLE DOGS
First Saturday of every month 10:00 am to 12:00 pm
CHUCK AND DON'S (BLOOMINGTON LOCATION) 8537 Lyndale Ave. S. Bloomington, MN [Click HERE for Directions] THIS IS A MEET & GREET ONLY. WE DO NOT ADOPT OUT DIRECTLY FROM THIS EVENT.
Joey is an adorable, sweet little 8 year old charcoal Shih Tzu who weighs 8 pounds. Now you would think that a pup that small would be timid and shy. Not Joey, he has a big personality in that little body. He is quite sure he is the center of the world and is very vocal about it when things are not to his expectations. He absolutely expects to sleep in the bed with you, or no one will be sleeping. He loves his foster mom’s bed and often wants to take an afternoon nap there.
While Joey is friendly and good with other dogs, he’d do best as an only dog in a quiet household where he can be the center of attention. Joey has separation anxiety, and he is used to someone being with him most of the time. His foster family is working with him to overcome some undesirable personality traits when he gets jealous of another dog and he is not the center of attention, or when he’s left alone. His adoptive family must to understand his insecurity and will need to continue working with him.
Joey came from a loving, quiet home where his owner passed away. He loves to be held, and he wants to be on you or near all of the time. He is potty trained but may try to mark when transitioning to his new home. He does best if there is someone home to let him out frequently and take him for a walk when it’s not too cold.
Joey’s requirements:
• A quiet, adults only loving home that is similar to what he previously had and where he will feel most secure. They must be home most of the day.
• A fenced yard is nice but Joey really prefers a walk with you.
• A warm spot on your lap, next to you or in bed. His comfort is priority and expect no privacy, Joey has a strict open door policy.
• Live within 30 miles of Shoreview, Minnesota.
• Attend the annual Shih Tzu Rescue Reunion held each year in September.
Joey is neutered, current on vaccinations, microchipped, and on heartworm and flea/tick preventative.
His adoption fee is $320.00 plus $28.88 sales tax for a total of $348.88.
