Nixon is a 14.5-year-old Shih Tzu who's gentle, easygoing, and happiest when he’s right by your side. His previous guardian died, and Nixon needs a safe place to live out his remaining years, so we are searching for a permanent foster (also known as "fospice") home for him. Nixon . .. • Just wants to be near you • Enjoys his leash walks and still moves along at a nice little clip • Sleeps peacefully through the night (right in bed with you) • Is low-maintenance and easy to care for He does have a bit of separation anxiety and may bark when left alone, so he’d do best in a home where someone is around most of the time. He’d make a wonderful companion for an older adult/couple or someone who enjoys a quiet, cozy home lifestyle. NiSHA will cover all supplies and any medical care Nixon may need. All you have to provide is a loving home, a warm bed, and a heart willing to give him comfort in his golden days. This is about giving a sweet senior the peace, dignity, and love he deserves.
