Oli - Retired Senior Shih Tzu Shrewsbury, MA

Olie is a stoic senior Shih-Tzu with Marty Feldman eyes. Olie is looking for a place in the sun, a window to gaze out of and a set of feet to keep warm. His needs are few. Ollie is estimated to be 11 years old and just received a clean bill of health. Like most seniors he has been given some instructions by his doctor including diet and exercise. Olie's weight is has reached 23 pounds, that's a bit high for his breed. Olie's foster mom is now feeding him a grain free weight management formula food. Olie is house trained, walks well on a leash and is fine around other dogs. Ollie's cat compatibility is unknown, however, since Ollie has not shown any prey drive towards squirrels or birds we believe he can co-exist.

Ollie's ideal adopter is someone who wants a companion by their side (or feet) while reading the paper or watching TV and enjoys two to three short walks a day.

NOTE: Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.

We expect that all adopted dogs will enroll in a formal dog training class with their new owners. Obedience and training classes are an excellent way to learn more about your newly adopted dog, gain handling and training experience, and improve your relationship with your pet.
