Buddy Edward's Story

Buddy Edward is a middle-aged dude with a beer gut - we are working on his weight!<br/>He is the happiest, fattest, little Shih Tzu 'around' - he snorts like a bulldog and waddles!<br/>He came to rescue at 18 lbs and has been told by our Vet his bloodwork looks great, but his weight is a concern and obesity will cause problems. His foster has him on a diet, special kibble and only one meal a day.<br/><br/>Buddy has curly white and tan fur. He had bald spots due to skin infections which have grown back.<br/>Due to breed - in addition to exercise, will require extensive grooming! Regular trips to the Salon<br/>*Rescue does not complete DNA testing. Breed is based on documentation provided from the original owner and Vet clinic who saw him prior to rescue.<br/><br/><br/>Buddy is fostered with cats, small dogs and big dogs. He loves attention and sitting on his foster mom's lap. He is leash trained and potty trained. Loves car rides and 'going anywhere.<br/><br/>This breed has a Life Expectancy is 10-15 years. We are seeking a committed family for this piglet. Buddy came to rescue with two dog siblings after his elderly owners could not afford to care for them and taken to a small shelter. The Animal Control Officer contacted CCR and requested help - the dogs were neglected, dirty and not housetrained. They were clearly loved but owners started to struggle to care for themselves and the pets. Buddy has more housetraining than his younger dog friends.<br/><br/>Buddy is now up to date on vaccines, dewormed for gut health, microchipped and neutered. He tested negative for heartworms and is on prevention.<br/><br/>FOSTERED IN TEXAS.<br/>*Adoption Fee ($550.00) includes transport options to PNW (WA, UT, ID), Midwest (MN, WI, MI, OH, IL, IN) or select New England States (NY-NJ-CT-VA-VT) by pet transport partners.
