Opie (10/9/13)

Opie is a 3yo Shih Tzu. He is a very sweet boy. His favourite things are playing, being groomed and having cuddles. He’s just like a little teddy bear. Opie needs a loving home that can provide him with lots of cuddles and won’t leave him alone too much as he does get lonely. He is very friendly with all people, children, and dogs. Opie is not yappy but will bark to let you know someone has arrived. He is toilet trained and can use a dog door.

Opie 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. It is not a hassle as Opie loves to be brushed and groomed. He even falls asleep whilst being blow-dried and having his feet and nails trimmed.

A home with no cat would be preferable as he can be an annoyance trying to play with my cat. Opie must be allowed to have inside when you are home and sleep inside. He currently sleeps in a crate in my lounge room and is happy to do so.
