Buttons - Blind Shih Tzu

Buttons came in to rescue when both her owners were experiencing health issues. They had her since she was a puppy so you can imagine how heartbreaking it was for them to surrender her. We promised we would find the best home for her and that's where you come in!<br/>Buttons has lost approximately 95% of her vision, but you'd hardly know it - she navigates her space with confidence and doesn't let it slow her down one bit.<br/>She's not quite 13 years old and about 11 pounds.<br/>Buttons is wonderfully independent, but she does love being in the same room as her person. She's not a velcro dog - but rather someone who likes company nearby while she does her own thing. What's her own thing? Why napping of course! She loves a soft bed, or two, and will happily snooze the day away.<br/>The one thing that gets her going is an afternoon walk. She's awesome on her walk!<br/>While Buttons does well with the dogs in her foster home; any new dogs will need to be older and calm - young, rambunctious dogs will not be considered.<br/>If you're looking for an easygoing companion that doesn't require more than a soft bed, a daily walk and the occasional treat then Buttons is your gal!<br/>*Housetraining: Uses potty pads and will also go outside<br/>*Crate trained: No<br/>*Cats: Have not been tested, however she would most likely be fine with cats that are good with dogs.<br/>*The less steps in and out of the house the better for this super senior!<br/><br/>Buttons is spayed and will have her dental on October 1, 2026. We expect her to lose some teeth as they were never cleaned prior. <br/>She will be updated on any age related vaccines the same day as her dental.<br/><br/>If you are interested or have any questions please send an email to: seniorsrocksdr@gmail.com<br/><br/>Meet and greets are scheduled after an adoption application has been approved.<br/><br/>*We are a foster based organization - we do not have a public facility for viewing.<br/><br/>If you live in Northern Illinois and are interested; we will consider your application if you are within 150 miles of zip code 53051.
