Name: Paddy (we got him from the shelter on St. Patrick’s Day) Age: 13 years Breed: Shih Tzu mix (11 lbs) Reason for surrender: Owner traveling out of the country This precious fella may be up in years but he is still young at heart. Paddy is the happiest, most loving little man and his previous owner really the one missing out because Paddy is a joy to be around. He may not hear or see well but he is full of spunk and he loves life. His cheerful nature is inspiring. Paddy is a example of living in the moment and appreciating your blessings. Just because someone doesn’t see your value does not mean that others won’t — you just have to find your people. Paddy deserves to enjoy his golden years with a family who will treasure him. Can you share this post and help us find them? Paddy is an easy keeper and he is in good health overall. He has the typical senior health issues such as decreased hearing and vision and mild arthritis but he is fully mobile and he does not require any medication or special care at this time. He recently received a dental so the teeth he has left are clean and shiny now. Paddy is wonderful with other animals. He craves companionship so he needs a home where someone is around most of the time. All he wants to do is follow someone around and keep them company. He is not demanding of anything except your presence. This sweet boy deserves a soft retirement and we believe some lucky human will be delighted to give Paddy the honor he is due. Paddy is fully vetted -- neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative and current on vaccinations and deworming. The adoption fee is $300. We accept payment in the form of cash, CashApp and Zelle.
