MEET PIRATE…a one-eyed,tri color,2 yr old, 12.20 lb absolutely adorable Shih Tzu X.  Not sure if he is purebred or not, but it really makes no difference to us.  He doesn’t shed!  What we can tell you about this little guy is he was brought to the San Bernardino Shelter with his eye dangling and their best estimation was he was hit by a car and left on the side of the road.  Something San Bernardino rarely does…they got him to the vet and had his eye removed…and THEY paid for it!  AND…the vet did a really good job!  We don’t know what his previous home was like, but they opted not to pick him up at the shelter when they heard about the fees they would have to pay.  OMG their loss, our/your gain.

Pirate is a precious soul!  He’s young, soooooo affectionate, attentive, happy.  He will sit on his hind legs and watch while you prepare his dinner…and he is a great eater!  He LOVES his walks, his foster roommate and belly rubs — not necessarily in that order!!  The two of them played in the yard and she (Frannie) isn’t quite as much of a player as he is and he didn’t want to stop!  He likes to chase toys but doesn’t bring them back yet!  He loves to cuddle and kiss and be right there with you!  He doesn’t like to be alone without you or another dog and he may just howl to let you know!  Otherwise, he is quiet and just a lovebug.  Pirate would love a yard, another dog and you!  Would you bring an “arrrgh” Pirate to live and love in your home?  He’s waiting!!
