Story
Evie is a 4 yr old, 12lb Shih Tzu. She is new to our rescue, so we are still learning about her personality. Evie is crate trained and learning housetraining & leash walking. Before she was rescued, Evie lived with other dogs in a very small area, so this girl likes to race around the yard. She doesn't appreciate sharing the lap of her human but will lie with other dogs and play in the yard with them. We aren't requiring her to be an only dog, but she can be a little jealous when another one gets the attention she craves. Evie follows her foster mom around and stays close; she prefers to be with her person, so she would not do well being left alone for extended periods. She hasn't shown interest in toys, but we feel she didn't have that opportunity before we rescued her. She really enjoys running around her foster mom's yard, so we are requiring the adoptive home have a securely fenced yard attached to their home. Although she is only 12 pounds, she is very quick, strong, active, and a trip hazard. Evie is not a "couch-potato" Shih Tzu. Evie is affectionate and will bond tightly and fiercely with her forever family. The adoption range for this dog is limited to NC, SC, VA and East TN. If you are interested in adopting this dog, contact h2hadoptions@gmail.com. There is an application process and adoption fee. WE REQUIRE AN ALL-ADULT HOME WITH A SECURELY FENCED YARD. The secure fence must be 4ft or higher, gaps no larger than 1 1/2 inches, and attached to the home. An invisible fence, enclosed patio or terrace without grass, temporary fencing, dog pens or dog lots or community shared fencing (dog park) are NOT considered secure fencing. If your fencing has "puppy pickets" (or is supplemented with garden fencing) it needs to be at least 36 inches high from the ground up AT THE LOWEST POINT. No exceptions. We are an all-volunteer organization, and in addition to saving dogs, we have other responsibilities, so we appreciate your patience and understanding during this process. Response time can take up to 5 business. Please inquire only if you are willing to come to Greensboro, NC to meet the dog after we schedule your home visit. We do not ship dogs or put them on transports. Veterinary Care: All Hart-2-Heart Rescue foster dogs are spayed/neutered, current on heartworm prevention, parvo/distemper, bordetella, and rabies vaccines, and are professionally groomed and microchipped. As needed, our foster dogs have teeth cleanings, extractions, bloodwork and other diagnostic testing. Adoption Fee: $500December 2, 2024, 12:09 am
