Sheldon's Story

Posted February 12, 2026<br/>Sheldon arrived with seven other Shih Tzu as an owner surrender. His life has not been great. We are going to work hard to make sure Sheldon is loved for the rest of his life. <br/><br/>Sheldon is a 2-3 year, male, cream, Shih tzu who weighs approximately 12lbs. He is no shedding. Sheldon has been totally vetted to include: all vaccinations, micro chip, neuter, two hernia repair during surgery, dental, and a shave down. Talk about an extreme make-over. Sheldon will need to learn housetraining and how to walk on a leash. Sheldon is calm, loving, shy, innocent, and is learning how wonderful it is to sit on your lap. He looks into your eyes trying to figure out what is going on. Sheldon gets along well with other dogs. A fenced in yard is absolutely required. <br/><br/>We are always looking for foster homes for our rescued hearts sweeties. Maybe your home can be one of them.
