Miso

Small, sweet, and subdued, "Miso" the Shih Tzu is all about the quiet lifestyle. Estimated to be about 10-11 years old and 11 pounds. Slow is his main speed. As an older gentleman, what he loves most is a comfy bed and company.<br/><br/>His favorite pastimes include rolling in the grass and getting attention. He is house-trained, though frequent breaks are recommended due to his age.<br/><br/>Already have a dog? Good news! Miso is very friendly with other gentle, well-mannered dogs. He is also good for grooming and even dozed off during his first haircut. <br/><br/>There are no children in the foster home, but Miso is a gentle soul, so older children/teens (respectful of his space and elderly needs) would likely be okay. The noise and the chaos of younger kids are not the vibe Miso is looking for.<br/><br/>We are starting to suspect that he may be losing his hearing (which comes with age), which doesn't impact his day-to-day. He's just a very sound sleeper!<br/><br/>Miso's perfect home:<br/>**quiet, calm, with lower activity levels<br/>**ready to help with accessibility assistance (low-rimmed bowls, soft food & treats, ramps, stroller for longer outings to support this aging fellow)<br/>**Patience for an older dog and love to give him <br/><br/>Miso is a wonderful reminder that senior dogs still have lots of love to give. He's looking for a soft place to land and someone to share his golden years with!
