Furry Friday – Chewie


Okay, this guy is just so stinkin’ cute!  This is Chewie, he is a 5-year old Shih Tzu.  He love people, walks, and even likes cats!  And he’s this week’s adorable adoptable from the Animal Rescue League of Iowa.

From the ARL:

chewieBIG FAN OF: People! He loves them even more if they have treats!

NOT A FAN OF: Sharing his food or chews. He’d prefer to eat those in peace without being interrupted.

SPECIAL FEATURES: Chewie enjoys going on walks and then cuddling with his family. He currently knows sit and come and loves learning with treats. Classes would be a great way for this smart boy to learn more. His previous family said he was crate-trained.

DREAM HOME: With a fairly active family who will take him on daily walks then spend some time snuggling with him. He has lived with cats in the past, and we’d be happy to give you tips on the best way to introduce a new dog to resident felines.
