Webster - Shih Tzu Dog

Shelter: BC SPCA - Shuswap Branch Animal ID: 525351 Birthdate: March 11, 2020 - Adult Spayed/Neutered: Yes Male As you can guess, being one of 119 dogs can affect some dogs very deeply. Webster is one of those. He is very cautious around people at this time. Webster does not find being petted or picked up comforting yet. He does love to be given treats and will come up and almost touch your nose if there are treats in the offing. Webster does do well with other dogs and enjoys zooming around the yard with them. He can be challenging to get back in his run so a secure fenced yard is a must. He has learned that if he gets on a lawn chair he can jump over low fences. So he is a clever boy. Webster definitely needs work with his house training so if you have expensive flooring or really good furniture he may not be the best fit. Dogs like Webster are an investment in time but we have seen improvement in him while he has been with us. And he is really really cute. However, we would like so much more for him. If you have the time , and by that we mean lots of time , please consider this great little dog. Right now, Webster will not be a very fulfilling pet for young children as he will not interact with them. However, if you are retired with lots of energy to spend with him or work from home we would love to hear from you. Webster is available for Foster to Adopt.
