Every Dog Has a Tail!

Robbie is from Animal Welfare League where he was reported to have had about 3 owners in his short 1 year life.  His last owner acquired him when the previous owner chose an allergic fiancee over him, this owner just didn't want him anymore.  They also listed him as "partially housebroken".

But when we got him to the groomer, the real stories probably came to surface.  We removed what we thought was his collar, but underneath a thick matting of hair, we found his puppy collar, so tight it was threatening to cut into him.  His coat was SO matted that it came off in one giant shave, like a big black & white bear rug.

Meanwhile, here is this wiggly, happy Shih Tzu who doesn't know any of us, being groomed head, feet and some parts we won't mention (wink) and behaving like a champ and even giving kisses!

Robbie is at our vet being neutered and getting a thorough check up.  As for the housebreaking, Robbie scratching VERY loudly at the door, so we think his housebreaking 'problem' is probably more on the owner's side.  He is also being crate-trained, something new for him.  But he is an absolute coach HOG!

Please, if you are interested, fax an application and drop the foster a email.  Calling all the other numbers listed won't help you meet Robbie any faster.  We are all volunteers and each foster knows their pet the best!
