Tux's Story

Meet Tux! A gentle 12 year old Shihtzu who weighs 14lbs. Tux is a laid back guy who enjoys napping and getting lots of love. His ideal home would be laid back and ready for snuggles. Tux gets along well with other dogs and has done well with children. He is sensitive about his face being grabbed so older children who can respect his boundary would do great. Tux does appear to be visually impaired but he gets around great and definitely has some vision. Tux is up to date on vaccines, neutered, microchipped, up to date on prevention, heartworm negative, and freshly groomed! Apply to meet Tux at barkingwishesseniorpets.org
