Kernel's Story
🐾 Kernel 🐾<br/>Shih Tzu | Neutered Male | Adult 6 Years Old<br/>Kernel is a resilient little Shih Tzu who came to us from the same backyard breeding situation as the others. Despite his rough start, Kernel has shown us just how adaptable and sweet he can be.<br/>Kernel has one eye, as his other eye unfortunately ruptured while he was still in the care of the breeder. He has adjusted very well and gets around just fine—his missing eye does not slow him down or affect his quality of life.<br/>🩺 Medical & Vetting:<br/>• Neutered<br/>• Microchipped<br/>• Heartworm tested negative<br/>• Rabies vaccinated<br/>• Distemper (DHPP) vaccinated<br/>• Leptospirosis vaccinated<br/>• Bordetella vaccinated<br/>✂️ Grooming Notes:<br/>We were told by the breeder that Kernel may become aggressive during grooming. However, when groomed by our groomer, Kernel did very well overall. The only area he showed discomfort with was having his face groomed, which is not uncommon. With patience, consistency, and a groomer experienced with sensitive dogs, this should continue to improve over time.<br/>🐶 Other Pets:<br/>Kernel has done well with other dogs while in our care. He has not been tested with cats or children.<br/>🏡 Ideal Home:<br/>Kernel would do best in a patient, understanding home that is willing to continue building trust and confidence. His one-eyed status does not require special care beyond normal awareness, and he would make a loving companion for the right family.<br/>📍 Ready to apply?<br/>👉 Apply here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HPAW/Dog
