MEET JULIAN…one very lucky dude.  This handsome, sable colored, 15 lb, 3-4 yr old Lhasa Shih Tzu was dumped by a VCA Hospital with a perianal hernia.  He must have good karma because a good Samaritan was going into the hospital to pick up her dog’s ashes and she saw him wandering on the street.  Picked him up, had him scanned for a chip (there was none) and set out to find his owners.  When all that failed, she called us and the rest is history! 

Julian is a lucky boy but we are the fortunate ones!  He is a sweetheart.  His surgery was done and he has been such a trooper.  Not fun to have your behind surgically repaired!  But sadly, he wasn’t healing 100% and so we took him back in only to find out he was re-herniated and has to have a second surgery on 4/21/2022.  So, it will be another month before he is available :((

Julian is VERY active and loves love.   He has a great temperament  and takes his meds like a champ!  He loves his foster buddy Bruiser and really wants to play!  For now, the toys will have to do and Julian is a toy maniac — took every single toy out of the box and played with all of them!  He is a kisser and wants you to know he appreciates being saved.  He told us he really wants a canine companion who can hang with him and play, so we want to make sure he has one!  He doesn’t love being left alone and will bark, so whomever adopts him should work from home.  Julian can be a bit of an acrobat as he loves to jump on the furniture and you!  Loves his walks, good with everyone he meets, he would be good with kids over 12 yrs (only so he doesn’t knock them over) and he doesn’t have a mean bone in him.  His potty training skills are getting better but he needs to heal.  He won’t be available until end of May.  Accepting applications now.  Please read the profile before you apply!!  No out of state adoptions.
