Please go to our website for all specific information about this dog. Our info doesn't transfer over to the adoption sites.
Pearl came from a life of pure neglect then was abandoned on a city sidewalk in a soft sided crate full of her own waste. She was brought to the shelter and that's when we stepped in to help her.
She has a severe case of demodex mites (non contagious type normally seen on puppies, not seniors. She's been treated for that but it will take a while for all of her fur to fill in now. Some may not fill in completely as she was suffering from it for a long time. She is also hearing and vision impaired. She can see and she can hear, just not really well. She doesn't produce tears so needs eye drops daily for the rest of her life. She also had horrible dental disease so we had a dental done. She only has 3 teeth left now.
Shih Tzu's notoriously cannot tolerate grains or processed chicken so we keep her on a grain free canned food diet with no chicken in it (we can recommend foods that won't break the bank).
This girl deserves all the love and great care she can get for the rest of her life. Is it with you?
Prior to adoption, our dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, micro-chipped and parasite treated/prevented.
