TARIK – I’VE BEEN ADOPTED!!!

Posted in Uncategorized at 10:11 am by Volunteers

Hello!  My name is Tarik and I am a 5 month old Shih Tzu baby.  My foster Mom said that I am the “runt of the litter”.  I think that must mean something special because she gave me special attention when I first came into foster care.  My foster Mom had to supplement feed me for a few weeks as my brothers and sisters wouldn’t let me eat often enough.  I was very tiny, but I showed them!  With all that special care and my own special food I have gotten bigger and stronger!  I’m still a bit smaller than my brothers, but I am about the same size as my sisters.
 

I am one sweet and loving guy.  I love to sit in my foster Mom’s lap and give her lots of big sloppy kisses.  I also love to play with my foster brothers and sisters, but I am particularly fond of my brother Darius.  We have a great time together.  Mom says that when I find my forever home I will need a young doggie playmate.  Maybe you might consider adopting one of my brothers or sisters along with me! 
 

My foster mom is trying to teach me a trick.  She calls it a “High Five”.  I think she thinks I can learn this because when I play I bat my paws in a very cute way and it reminds her of a high five.
 

My coloring is quite unique if I say so myself.  I have black and red hair which gives my coat a mahogany coloring.  It is quite striking.  I also have a small white blaze on my chin and chest.
 

I am doing well with house training, but remember, I am still a puppy.  I am also crate trained and will sleep in my little crate at night. 
 

If you would like any more information about me, please contact my foster mom at sherry352@sbcglobal.net.  Also, check out my really cute pictures and write-up on my Petfinder page!
 

I am altered, up-to-date on all my shots and am heartworm negative.
