Description:
ATTENTION: WILL YOU HELP THIS BEAUTIFUL BOY IN GREAT NEED OF A NEW HOME? We occasionally get inquiries from wonderful people who want to help the neediest dog at the rescue, or one with special needs. Tino is now in that category. When he arrived approximately 4 months ago, Tino was a nice, somewhat shy, gentle boy, as can be seen in the video. He is one of the few dogs surrendered to us that have not adjusted well to living at the rescue, and his behavior has changed for the worse. He has, at times, been aggressive towards the other dogs and our staff and volunteers, and even bitten. Afterwards, he usually shows remorse, almost as surprised by his behavior as we are. Tino is an absolutely gorgeous Shih Tzu/Poodle mix, or ShiPoo. He is about5 years old and 16 pounds. He is in good physical health and on no medications currently. Tino needs someone with experience, a big heart, patience, and compassion for a poor boy who lost his original family, and is very confused. It is very possible that his behavior will improve a great deal once he is in a nice, quiet home, with no other pets, with a person he comes to trust and love. Won’t you please consider giving Tino that loving home? If so, please put in an application today and call Harriet at 954-680-6456.
