Hello!  My name is Ashley and I am one sweet guy.  I am a Southerner so I am also quite debonair even though I don’t look like it!  Actually, my picture makes me look a bit pathetic, but you should have seen me just a few months ago!!!  I am one of the Hairless North Carolina Shih Tzus rescued last summer from horrible living conditions.  When I came to Lone Star I had worms, no hair, mange, and really bad skin.  I hadn’t had a bath, proper nutrition, or even routine medical care in my first home.  I am VERY lucky to be here!  My brothers and sisters and I are now ready for adoption.  You can tell who we are on our Petfinder pages by our movie names!  We were named after the characters in “Gone with the Wind” because we are survivors!!!!
 

As you can see, my hair is starting to grow back.  It seems to grow really fast around my neck so it looks like I am wearing a feather boa.  That’s not very manly but it is HAIR!!  My head is a little bald now, but hopefully that will grow soon.  I know I will never have a beautiful long Shih Tzu coat, but I do have hair now and that’s what counts!!!  I am about 6-7 years old and I weigh 10 pounds.  I am a little shy, but once I get to know you I am very friendly and loving.  My foster mom says that I am sweet-tempered.  I get along well with by foster brothers and sisters too.
 

I would love to find my forever home.  I need to know that I am special and that I am loved.  Now that I know what the good life is – I want more!  I am very lucky to be here, but I would be luckier to find my very own family to love.  If you think I might fit into your home, please contact my foster mom at AdoptionInquiries@yahoogroups.com.  She’ll tell you what a special guy I am.   Also, please check out my very own Petfinder page.

I am altered, up-to-date on all my shots and heartworm negative.
