Adopt Heelie

Shih Tzu · Female · Senior · 14 years

I WOULD LIKE A HOME WITH MY FRIEND HOLLY 06-06-26 Heelie is a delightful older lady who has come to us from a home through no fault of her own with her best friend Holly. She was originally adopted from us in 2013 and went on to enjoy many happy years with her owner. Sadly, her owner has become too unwell to care for them, and their family made the difficult decision to help find them a new home. Heelie is a sweet little lady who enjoys pottering around and taking life at a gentler pace. She takes great comfort from the company of her friend Holly, and the pair are very much bonded. Because of this, they will be looking for a home together where they can continue to enjoy each others company. Having already lived in a home, Heelie is familiar with all the sights and sounds of home life and seems to be missing her creature comforts. Although she is currently a little worried and unsure of her surroundings, she still has a good appetite and is happy to take treats from us. Heelie can already walk on a harness, but as she is an older lady, she would prefer slower, shorter strolls where she can potter around. She can live with dog-savvy older children who are sensible and gentle. A slower pace of life would be ideal for Heelie and Holly, where they can enjoy plenty of comfort, companionship, and relaxed days together. Heelie is a lovely older girl who has already known the comforts of a loving home. We hope that she and Holly can find another special family together, where they can enjoy all the love, warmth, and sofa time they deserve. Heelie has arrived slightly overweight, so she will need a good diet and gentle exercise to help her reach and maintain a healthy weight. Our vets have noted that she is a little stiff and can occasionally limp, this is most likely linked to her age and so she has been started on join supplements to see if this will help her. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.
