About Rachel
Meet Rachel! This almost 7-year-old, 12.72 lb female Shih Tzu is a sweet little lady looking for a patient home. Rachel can be shy when she meets new people. With some gentle pets and a little time, she begins to relax and show her affectionate side. Rachel has a grade 2 luxating patella in her right knee but isn’t currently experiencing any lameness. She feels more confident in a calm environment and does well with other dogs. A playpen or a home with a physically fenced-in yard would be ideal for her since she’s still getting accustomed to walking on a leash. The adoption fee is $400 and covers her spay, dental cleaning, microchip, heartworm test, wellness bloodwork, fecal flotation, and all core vaccines. Ready to make Rachel part of your family?
