INTRODUCING YAHTZEE…and he is no game player! This sweet, beautiful, 9-10 yr old, 9 lb, tri colored Shih Tzu baby was dumped in the Palmdale Shelter a total mess. He supposedly had an adopter, but they never came to pick him up, so we were lucky enough to rescue him.

Yahtzee may have one shrunken eye (probably no sight in it), but that doesn’t stop him from getting around great! His coat was filthyand his teeth looked like he had been eating dirt (probably attributing to a 2-3 grade heart murmur), he is a sweetheart who just wants to feel better and be loved! Now that he’s had his makeover, dental and is getting over a nasty, “bubble blowing” URI, Yahtzee is becoming a new boy!

At this writing, we have yet to hear Yahtzee bark! He is very calm, easy going and a pleasure to warm your lap! He’s good with the other dogs, loves his walks and does his business on them. No guaranteeing he’s potty trained, but he sure can hold it!!! He likes to relax and sleep a bit while his body is recovering, so we haven’t seen a ton of personality yet, but we know it’s in there!

The ideal home for Yahtzee would be one where he gets a lot of love and attention, along with patience. We don’t know his background, and we don’t know why he landed in the shelter at this age — but it shouldn’t happen to any dog 🙁 Shih Tzu live long lives and his golden years should be with a family who will love and adore him. ALL SENIORS should be loved and appreciated! Are you a family who wants to make the life of a young senior a wonderful one? Please apply!!
