HUTCH – I’VE BEEN ADOPTED!!!

Hello out there! My name is Hutch and I am a gray and white Shih Tzu boy. I am young, maybe about 1-2 years old. The volunteers at Lone Star found me at the local animal shelter and took me home with them. I looked quite the mess because I had been living outside. I had been dropped off at the shelter because my first family was moving and they could not take me with them. I am REALLY glad that the volunteers at Lone Star found me because my life as a foster dog is ever-so-good and ever-so-much better than my previous life!!! It’s definitely much better to live inside rather than outside, that’s for sure!!!Because I was living outside I was not housebroken when I came into foster care. I have to learn new potty manners now that I am an insider. My foster mom says that I am getting better and better each day. But I do appreciate it when she tells me it’s time to go outside!
I would love to be an only dog in my forever home so that I could get all the attention I deserve. I like my foster siblings OK, but I just prefer to get ALL the attention and not share it with them. If there happened to be another dog in my forever home, he or she would need to know that I’m in charge!!! Also, no small children please as they move a little quickly for me and scare me a bit.
I love to play and have found that toys are GREAT!! I would play with my squeaky toys all day if I could. I particularly like my toy hamburger and will carry it with me all over the house and yard. If one of my foster siblings somehow gets it away from me, I WILL get it back! I also love to take walks with my foster mom and I’m learning how to play fetch. But the very best thing is that I live inside the house with my foster family. I like to go outside and play and watch the squirrels, but I LOVE living inside and even sleeping right next to my foster mom at night. What a life!
Please consider me if you are looking for a new family member as I need a forever family to love. If you would like more information about me, please look at my Petfinder page. You could also contact my foster mom at mh@cableone.net. She would be happy to tell you what a fine fellow I am.
I am altered, up-to-date on all my shots and am heartworm negative.

Is Hutch still available? No children in this house I always wanted to have a Shih Tzu, we have a big fenced in yard and lots of love to give. He looks so cute in his picture.
