Alice Shih Tzu & Poodle Mix Greensboro, NC

Meet Alice, a one-year old, female Shih Tzu / Poodle Mix dog. Alice was found wandering the streets of a rural town and brought to the local animal shelter. She was severely matted and very dirty. Her owners never came forward to claim her. We were asked to take Alice into rescue and we gladly said yes.

Alice is a hypoallergenic dog who does not shed. She is a tiny dog, weighing 8 lbs. Alice was brought up to date on all of her shots and she has a Home Again microchip. Alice was heartworm negative, a good thing. Alice is scheduled to be spayed on Friday, August 7, 2015. Alice will have her teeth professionally cleaned during this appointment as well.

Alice was professionally groomed on Friday, July 31, 2015. She looks clean and fresh now. Alice’s skin is dry but with a daily Omega 3 and high-quality dog food, she will look as shiny as a new penny within a month’s time.

Alice is a friendly dog who knows how to walk on a leash. She is crate trained. Alice arrived to the rescue on Thursday, July 30 so it is too soon to tell if she is housetrained or not. We suggest that Alice’s new owners use a dog crate for the first few weeks at her new home so she can figure out your routine.

Alice is a loving dog and has been wonderful with the children who volunteer at the rescue as well as the vet and the groomer. She seems to love all the attention and we know she feels a lot better now that she has been groomed.

Alice’s adoption fee is $400. There is an additional charge of $10.99 to register Alice’s microchip into her new owner's name for life.
