Sammy ~ 11yo Shih-Tzu boy (On Trial 24/5/16)

Sammy is a cute 11 year old Shih-Tzu boy. He is a lovely and well behaved gentleman who likes snuggles and cuddles.

Sammy loves his walks and is very agile. He likes to play with his toys and he gets along well with other dogs and also cats. He is an inside dog and needs to be allowed inside, at least when people are home, and to sleep inside. He is actually a bit spoilt and likes to sleep on the bed. Sammy is toilet trained and behaves well inside.

He would be best suited to someone who is home a lot and where he could have a companion. He is ok with older kids so long as they are gentle with him. Sammy was very scared when he first came into care and could be testy when frightened. He has come a long way since then with a lot of love and care.

Sammy 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.
