About Babaganoosh

Babaganoosh is a senior Shih Tzu who has had a rough go but still carries a lot of character. Weighing in at 20 lbs, he does have some extra weight to shed and a few health issues that we’re addressing with the help of Ridgeview Animal Hospital in Olathe, KS. However, this little guy's still got plenty of love to give. At approximately 10 years old, Babaganoosh can’t see perfectly and is hard of hearing, so he’s best suited for a calm home without children. He can get startled easily, so a quiet environment will help him feel safe. His grooming needs are significant, requiring professional grooming every couple of months to keep his coat in check. While he may not be a fan of grooming, he deserves to look his best. We believe that with some good food and a bit of TLC, his health can improve over time. Despite his quirks, Babaganoosh has a lot of love to share. Are you ready to give him the home he deserves?
