🌟 Meet Stanley, the enchanting Shih Tzu who’s ready to steal hearts and blankets! This gentle soul has navigated a challenging journey from being abandoned by a so-called ‘friend’ to finding safety and love at the Animal Saints Rescue Society. At 6-8 years young and weighing around 16 pounds, he’s the perfect companion for anyone looking to share their life with a sweet, cuddly buddy. Stanley arrived at the rescue needing some extra TLC, but boy, has he bounced back beautifully! He’s sporting a dapper look with his soft grey and white hair, which, let’s be honest, makes him an absolute heart-melter. 💖 His brave spirit has survived an eye enucleation, and while he may be missing his left eye, he’s got a twinkle in his remaining eye that truly shines. With a clean bill of health, including a negative heartworm test and a resolution to his previous infections, Stanley is ready to find a loving home. He’s all about that cozy life, lounging on the couch and soaking in all the love that comes his way. He might not be the biggest fan of outdoor adventures yet, but with patience and encouragement, he's showing signs of blossoming! 🌼 Imagine cozy evenings by the fireside, indulging in treats and belly rubs, while Stanley is your trusty sidekick! This lovely boy just wants to be around his humans, and he’s best suited for a peaceful home. Older kids who know how to respect dogs could be fine, but ideally, it’s just adults who appreciate this sweet guy’s gentle nature. 🛋️ Stanley also enjoys the company of fellow furry friends, although he’s totally okay as an only pet too, as long as he has someone to keep him company! Now, let’s talk about that grooming routine! Due to his luxurious hair, Stanley will need some pampering every 4-6 weeks. He already loves his baths and hair trims, so if you’re ready for some spa days filled with treats and love, Stanley will happily oblige! Are you ready to be part of Stanley's forever family? This magnificent boy requires some foundational skills training, which can be a fun bonding experience for you both! 💕 Think you can handle a companion who'll curl up by your side and make your heart melt? Adventure awaits in the form of cuddles, lazy afternoons, and a lifetime of companionship because, oh yes, Stanley is looking to be your couch potato friend! 🐾 For Stanley to truly thrive, a secure fenced-in backyard would be fabulous, but more than anything, he just wants to be by your side, with no crates to stifle his spirit. If you're prepared to offer him the love and care he truly deserves, then please apply to adopt Stanley through the Buddy App today! 📲 Let’s find out together if you can be the family he’s been dreaming of!
