Hello, my name is Schuler, I’m a girl, I’m a Shih Tzu, I’m 10 years old, I’m 14.5 lbs, I’m pretty, and I am looking for a forever home somewhere in or near Connecticut. The first decade of my life didn't go as I had hoped. I was living way down south in Texas along the border of Mexico, and I was a stray, uncared for, and a matted mess when I was picked up off the street by a local dog rescue. My life has been hard, and I’m the type of girl who should have been living in the lap of luxury, being groomed and fussed over because I’m sweet and have manners. I don't potty inside or chew on your belongings. I adore my people and I don't freak out if I’m left home alone. I am allowed free-range status in my foster home because I am trustworthy. I’m friendly and affectionate but won't be slobbering all over you. I’m fine with other dogs but I’m more interested in people, and occasionally I’ll pick up a doggy toy to play with. I am nowhere near ready to retire but I do enjoy a relaxed lifestyle and a snuggly doggy bed or a place beside you on the sofa. I have a soft trachea resulting in a somewhat chronic cough but my foster mom gives me Cosequin which has been helping. Heartworm is a common problem here in Texas, but I have been treated and now I’m good to go. I hope my next decade is filled with so much love and happiness that my past is long forgotten, and it already is… just look at me now… I’m quite a beauty.
