MONKEY – I’VE BEEN ADOPTED!!!
My name is Monkey and I am one very sweet and social little Shih Tzu boy. I am about 3 years old, weigh 14 pounds, and I have a beautiful shiny black coat. I was names Monkey because of my black hair, my tiny little nose and my inquisitive little look. Not only am I a sweet boy, but I am a very, very lucky boy. Let me tell you a little bit about myself.
The volunteers at Lone Star found me at one of the local animal shelters. I had a previous back injury that left me paralyzed in my back legs and the animal shelter folks knew that I would be hard to adopt. That’s when Lone Star stepped in and took me under their wing. They found the resources to fund surgery for me and now I CAN WALK!!! Even the veterinarians who did the surgery were surprised at how well I have done. I walk with a little limp, but that’s OK by me. My life is so much better now!!!
I am very sweet, easy-going and friendly. I love people and I also love to play with all my foster brothers and sisters. “Play” would be my middle name. It’s amazing how much energy I have now that I can use my back legs! I also love to go on walks, and the walks help me get stronger and stronger.
I would love to find a forever home that would love me, play with me, and take me for long walks. Oh, and I forgot about the “pamper me” part. That would really be great! I’ve been through a lot and I think I really deserve a special family to call my own. Please let that be you.
If you would like to hear more about me, check out my Petfinder page. Also, please email my foster mom at adoptioninquiries@yahoogroups.com. I KNOW she will tell you what a special little guy I am.
I am altered, up-to-date on all my shots and am heartworm negative.
