I have owned two Shih-Tzu's in my lifetime and now on my 3rd (best dogs ever)! I love all animals, and have compassion for their needs. I recently suffered the loss of my beautiful 12 year old Shih Tzu Nino 10/6/2020 and figured caring and helping others would be the best remedy to help my heart heal. As of February 20, 2021 our family welcomed a new puppy Shih Tzu home named Chino. Whether it's treats just because, a blanket if they're cold, playtime, hugs and kisses, long walks on a nice day... animals understand everything going on around them so I treat them as such to make them comfortable and earn their trust! I research things quickly and act quickly if there were to be an emergency of any kind. I pay close attention to details for any changed behavior or sudden needs. I have dog sat close neighbors dogs before, but overall since my Husband and I both work from home I am able to be attentive and available to do it more often. Our 8 year old son visits every other weekend is great with dogs. Looking forward to meeting you and our new 4-legged friend!
