About Lu

Lu is an 8-10 year old Shih Tzu who weighs 11 lbs. This little guy came to the rescue with severe skin infections, but with some medication, his condition is improving. While it might take a bit longer for his fur to grow back, he's already quite the trooper when it comes to baths and taking his meds. Calm and quiet, Lu enjoys being in the company of his person, often snuggling up for a nice nap. He appreciates having a small toy to play with now and then. Walking well on a leash, he's already housetrained and has good manners. Lu gets along well with other small dogs, kids, and new people, making him an ideal companionship candidate for a quiet home. Lu is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and on heartworm/flea prevention, plus he’s had a dental done. This sweet boy deserves a loving forever home for his senior years.
