CRICKET

My name is Cricket and I am the cutest, most precious Shih Tzu lady you will ever meet.  I am about 9 years old, but I am a young nine.  I don’t show my age at all and will run and play with my foster mom every chance I get.  I particularly like to play fetch and when I see that my mom is getting the ball I get VERY excited!!  In fact, I’m SO excited that I start running to catch the ball even before Mom throws it!!!  She laughs at me when I do this, but I want to make certain I get that ball!!  I also get along well with my foster brothers and sisters and will play with them at times.  Cats are OK with me too.

 

I’m a little overweight and am on a diet to lose a couple of pounds.  I am doing well with this and am starting to see a little weight loss.  Since I’m such an active gal, all the exercise I get will burn those calories away!   

 

I love chewy toys, particularly rawhide bones or ropes.  I tend to REALLY chew them, so my foster mom makes sure that she gets me durable bones and toys so they last a bit longer.  I sleep in my doggie bed right next to my parent’s bed.  If one of my foster siblings gets up to go outside, I always get up with them to see what they are up to.  I’m a bit of a light sleeper and I want to know what’s going on at all times.  I do go back to sleep in my bed once all the excitement is over.

 

I have very good manners.  I’m not a fussy eater and am very gentle when treats are given to me.  I love to go on long walks and I do quite well on a leash.   I don’t particularly like to be crated or restrained in my car seatbelt, but I know it’s for the best.

 

If you think that I could fit into your family, please contact my foster mom at maday0151@yahoo.com .  She will tell you lots about me.  And, please check out my Petfinder page for even more information.  I am altered, up-to-date on all my shots and am heartworm negative.

Are you looking for a mature gentleman?  One who is well-mannered, gentle and loving?  I may be the one for you!!!  My name is Claude and I am a 10 year old Lhasa Apso who weighs about 18 pounds.  I know I am older than some of my foster brothers and sisters, but I feel that I deserve to live the rest of my life in my very own forever home.  Let me tell you a bit about myself, so you know how special I am.
 

Although I see okay, I do need to have my foster mom put eye drops in my eyes daily for dry eye.  I also have part of one of my ears missing.  My foster mom thinks that I may have been in either an accident or was attacked as I have some other scarring besides my missing ear.  I am definitely not a fighter so mom thinks that I may have been around the wrong dog at the wrong time.  I am actually very loving and gentle.  I sometimes like to romp and play with my foster brothers and sisters but I like to pick the time to play.  My specific duty at the house is to greet all the new dogs and make them feel welcome.
 

I also don’t have any front teeth, so when it comes to eating I get to eat from a regular dinner plate rather than a dog bowl.  That makes me feel very special.  I know when my foster mom is in the kitchen preparing all of our meals and I am ready and waiting at the gate to come in.  I am very patient and wait my turn for dinner.  Once I have finished my meal, I patiently wait for someone to let me back into the living area to be with all my doggie friends.  I never bark and make a ruckus to go back.  Mom says that I am a very good boy.
 

I am definitely a lap dog or maybe I could be called a “foot dog” as I will sit by your feet for as long as you let me.  I am very devoted to my foster mom and the family and I love to be wherever they are.
 

I am doing very well with my house training.  I wear a belly-band as I used to have accidents in the house.  Whenever my foster family takes me outside I do my business and come right back in.  If I am let out often enough, I have no accidents. 
 

Please consider me as the older man in your life.  I promise I will be a faithful and loving companion.  Email my foster mom at sherry352@sbcglobal.net for more information.  And, please check out my Petfinder page.
