Tony Stark Shih Tzu Rochester, NY

My name is tony. I am a puppy mill survivor. I am 6 years old and I am ready to find my forever family. I have spent my entire life in a cage and I am enjoying the new found freedom I have received.
My foster mom says that I am the easiest mill dog she has ever had. I love receiving the attention I get from her and my favorite is a belly rub. If I am laying down to rest I can get startled if you approach me and I get snippy. I think I have bad memories of the mill guy reaching in on me. You just need to make sure I am up and about if you want to give me lovin’. I am learning to slowly trust and I feel I will learn to get past that. I like to be in the same room as my people. I will follow you everywhere and settle down at your feet. At night I sleep on a bed next to yours and I stay put all night. I am doing well with going potty out side I don’t mind walking on a leash. I will need to go to a family with older children. I get confused if a small child wants to play and I don’t want to scare them. I get along great with the other dogs and cats in the house. I do not know how to climb stairs and will need to be carried which I love. I also don’t know how to get up on the furniture unless you put me there.

If you are looking for a quiet, gentle companion that is devoted to you than I am the dog for you. Will you want to share your heart and home with me?
