Adopt Samuel Albert a Brindle Shih Tzu / Affenpinscher / Mixed dog in Town of
Location:
Town of Highlands
Description:
If the listing is still up, this means his is still available for adoption as we look to find an ideal lifetime home for him. We welcome you to apply! Samuel Albert’s Backstory: Samuel Albert was dropped off at an overcapacity animal control facility. Our rescue was asked to help, and we pulled him to safety to give him the second chance he deserves! Get to Know Samuel Albert: Have you ever met a dog who makes your heart melt with love and empathy for them? This was how we reacted to Samuel Albert when we first met him. We were greeted with a hug and a kiss on the cheek while we carried him around in the garden. Samuel is a sweet and sensitive soul who takes everything in stride. We can tell he’s been and seen a LOT. Yet, he’s so ready to love and receive attention. His blend of breeds is stunning and one-of-a-kind. We have asked veterinarians what they see, and everyone see something a little different. Shih Tzu, Lhasa Apso, Havanese, Affenpinscher, Terrier... what do you see? If you only see love at first sight, then you need to apply because this dear boy could be the match you're looking for! PLEASE NOTE: his hair will grow indefinitely, and he will need professional grooming every 4-6 weeks. Only apply if you understand the additional maintenance and cost that these dear hair-not-fur souls need and are willing to commit to life for such care. Age: approximately 7-9Weight: 13.5Neutered: yesHeartworm: negative Fecal exam: negative Bloodwork: normal range with very slight elevations in a couple of numbers, most likely due to being dehydrated upon arrival to hospital. This can be viewed upon request.Flea and tick treatment: yesVaccines: rabies, distemper, bordetellaDental: yes — cleaning and tooth extractions Potty training — working on it and doing well During his complete wellness exam, our veterinarian detected a slight heart murmur at 1-2 out of 6. But she said he’s doing so well that no medication was prescribed. Samuel Albert has limited vision. He can still see, but it's not in normal range. He needs to be given a heads-up when approached with the sweetness of your voice as he sometimes does not see in certain light. It does not stop him from loving life and wanting to explore. With this in mind, a quieter home without young children is ideal for him. Samuel is slowly coming out of his shell after the trauma of being dropped off at a chaotic animal control facility with large barking dogs. Everyone who has gotten to know him says he’s very sweet. You need to let him approach you, and then he will trust. Ideal Home: Sammy gets along with most small dogs and cats. He’s met several and gets along with calmer and quiet dogs. He is not an alpha dog. In a group, he backs away and lets the more enthusiastic ones take center stage. He waits for interaction. His foster home says he’s a wonder in that way! Please keep in mind he does not care for puppy energy or children energy. It frightens him. Because of his gentleness, a quieter home is ideal. He wants attention from humans and needs it. Only a home with older children is ideal. Family who is home most of the time is ideal as Samuel Albert would very much like to be around trustworthy humans. If you plan to put Samuel in a crate, please do not apply. He needs the space and ability to be around his people! Does the gentleness and soulfulness of Samuel draw you in? It does us, too. This is why it’s such an honor to find him a permanent home, one that is committed to giving him a lifetime of love.
