No Name Lhasa/Shih Tzu - Reunited With Family



Name: No Name
Breed: Lhasa/Shih Tzu mix? 
Sex: Male (neutered per caregiver, not yet verified)
Age: Unknown
Location: Houston, Texas

Vet Info: Vet info has not yet been verified, but will post with vet info as soon as possible.  He has not received vaccinations or a heartworm test with current caregiver.  He weighs 18 pounds. 

Owner Info: This dog was abandoned. A good samaritan saw him at a busy intersection, and then on another street where he was soaking wet, dirty, and matted.  They took him to their vet and he was not microchipped and did not have a collar.  At the vet's, it was noted that he has been neutered and is healthy except for his blindness.  Unfortunately, they cannot keep this dog because they have a swimming pool. They say he is a very sweet dog!!!  They have called several vets in their area to find out if someone has reported a missing dog.  They have also called shelters and they suggested contacting BDRA.  He weighs 18 pounds and is an indoor dog with run of the house, he is housebroken and leash trained.  He is not possessive of toys, treats, or food, and has not shown any aggression.  They say he has done fine in their house!   They do have another dog, but they have been keeping him separate as he is not vaccinated.  Per his caregiver, the vet said his eyelids are small for his size. She looked at his eyes with several instruments and did some vision tests with her hands but he was unresponsive. The vet examined him and said he is in good health except for his skin condition which is something that occurs with the breed. His gums were pink and there was some tartar on his teeth and mild gingivitis.  His caregiver says again that he is so sweet!
