HERMIE is an 8½-year-old, 13 pound Shih Tzu. He came into rescue because his owners were unable to care for his skin issues. After a round of prescription medications, a food change, and regular medicated baths, Hermie’s skin is now looking wonderful. His legs are still a bit red, but they don’t seem to bother him like they once did.
HERMIE is a very loving and affectionate little boy who adores people. He loves belly rubs, snuggling with his foster mama, and being as close to his person as possible. When he looks at you with his big, soulful eyes, it’s impossible not to melt. Give him a couch, a lap, and 24 hours, and he’ll be as happy as a clam. He is a very easy dog to fall in love with.
HERMIE gets along well with all of the other dogs in his foster home and would love to have a small canine companion of his own. His temperament with cats and children is unknown. Based on his friendly personality we think older kids would be okay.
HERMIE rides well in the car and walks fairly well on a leash. A fenced yard is recommended, as he does enjoy going on little walk-abouts. He has a fantastic appetite, so his new family will need to be mindful of portion sizes.
HERMIE will bark if he is separated from his person. For example, if his foster mom is in the front yard and he is in the backyard, he makes it known that he is not a happy camper. He simply wants to be wherever his person is. At night, HERMIE prefers to be close and feels most content when he can settle near his people.
HERMIE is up to date on shots, neutered, heartworm negative, has had a ProHeart 12 heartworm prevention shot, and is microchipped with a lifetime registration.
