Hendrix is a male Shih Tzu with a heart full of love and plenty of life still to enjoy. He has been deeply loved throughout his life, but sadly came into our care after his owner was no longer able to look after him.
He is a sweet, loyal, little gentleman who adores his people and is an all-round good boy. Hendrix enjoys his walks and walks beautifully on a harness, but more than anything, he loves companionship. He has never been used to being left alone for long periods, so he is looking for a home where someone is around for most of the day while he settles in, and where he will not regularly be left for extended periods afterwards. His ideal home would be with someone who works from home, is retired, or simply has a lifestyle that means he is only left for the usual day-to-day errands.
Hendrix is very social with other dogs and has happily lived with canine companions before, so dog introductions can be arranged. He has also lived with cats and was often found curled up beside them, making him a lovely companion for feline friends too.
Although Hendrix is used to visiting children and enjoys their company, we feel he would be happiest in an adult-only home where he can enjoy a quieter lifestyle and relax in peace once his young visitors have gone home.
Medical Information:
Hendrix passed his veterinary health check with flying colours. The only finding was a grade 2 heart murmur. At present, this is not causing him any problems, but it is something potential adopters should be aware of, as it may require medication in the future. Equally, it may remain unchanged for years, we simply want to be open and honest so adopters can make an informed decision.
