Meet Truffle

Truffle is the sweetest, easiest shih tzu mix you will ever find! It has been such a pleasure to have him. He is about 20 pounds, 8 years old. His favorite thing in the world is to be around people and to be cuddled, and his favorite spot is on your lap! He loves to scooch up to you and rest his little head on you. When you scratch behind his ears, his big brown eyes slowly start to close. When he’s asleep, he snores gently. (It's the cutest thing). While he does love being outside going for daily active walks, he could easily spend all day inside sleeping and cuddling. He is extremely tolerant of my family's annoying golden-doodle puppy who likes to jump all over him and steal his food. He even lets me put bows on his head! He has never barked or bitten and is extremely comfortable with everyone right away.

He is crate-trained, house-trained (but did mark once on the first foster day), and good with small dogs. He responds to “Come here, boy!” immediately. He also sheds minimally.
**Special needs**
4/6 systolic murmur, is asymptomatic and atrial enlargement is mild, there are no recommendations for cardiac therapy at this time. Adopter will need to follow up with their veterinarian post adoption.


To adopt this pet, please visit https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt

All of our dogs come spayed or neutered, fully up to date on vaccinations, including rabies (if age appropriate) and bordetella, are microchipped, heartworm negative, current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, dewormed, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services, and makes it possible for us to continue rescuing animals.

For more information on the adoption fees and the adoption process, please complete our adoption application here: https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt - an application allows us to get to know your family better so we can assess whether the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home. An application does not obligate you to adopt. Please understand that due to the volume of applications some animals receive, we are unable to contact all applicants. If your application is considered a good fit for the dog you are interested in, or even a different pet, a volunteer will give you a call as soon as possible.

We are a foster based rescue and do not have a shelter location where dogs can be seen during the week. Please see our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LouiesLegacy for our weekly adoption album if you are interested in meeting a dog in person. Not all animals attend every adoption event, please check our Facebook page for animal event times and locations before you make a trip to meet a specific animal.

Thanks so much for caring about a needy animal!
