Charlie (On Trial 9/6/13)

Charlie is a 2 year old Shih-Tzu x. He is tiny, approximately 19cm tall and looks more like a puppy. He loves human company, plenty of attention and cuddles. He is very affectionate and would not be happy left alone at home all day. He is best suited to someone who has time to spend with him as he was left outside all the time by his previous owner and he deserves a loving home now to make up for the loneliness in his past. He was very underweight when he came to me but is starting to fill out now; he loves his food and isn't a fussy eater.

Charlie has a low shedding coat which needs regular brushing (every few days depending on length), bathing (every few weeks) and clipping (every 4 to 8 weeks) to keep him comfortable and beautiful. He is housetrained and is an inside dog and needs to be allowed access to the indoors at all times and to sleep inside.

Charlie loves to ride in the car and is learning to walk on a lead which he enjoys. He is still a young dog and I am sure with some training he will be very good as he is a fast learner. He gets on well with my other small foster dog. He would not be suitable with children under 12 years as he is so small. He is a very dear and loving little man and will make someone very happy.

Charlie's birthday is 28/2/2011.
