Lars, our 10 year old 14 pound ShihTzu, is back with us at Stumptown after being adopted out. He didn’t like the cats in his adoptive home. As Lars really liked the cats in his foster home, we can’t help but blame the cats. What were they up to? Regardless, Lars needs another chance at his forever!

 

Lars was found stray and the shelter asked us to help. He had several teeth that needed to be extracted and a couple of pesky testicles that needed to go. Lars is recovered from his surgery and thriving. Snacks always taste better with clean teeth.

 

Our Lars is an easy keeper. He is very friendly and loves attention, snuggling, squeaky toys and naps. Lars has picked up a charming trick where he stands on his hind feet and waves his front feet in the air to beg for pets. Irresistible. Lars is a fan of walks and struts handsomely on a leash. He has been great with dogs of all sizes and with selective cats (maybe he’d prefer not to live with them). Lars is house trained and he can be trusted to be left alone. That is, as long as his home is dog proof. Although he’s technically a senior, Lars can jump like a puppy and will happily look around a counter for leftovers.

 

Lars does well with older children. Because he passionately defends tasty trash or bags of treats if he successfully steals them, we don’t think Lars should live with small kids. Lars otherwise does not resource guard. Lars excels at letting people know if there is anyone outside the door. For this reason, living in an apartment with a busy shared hallway may not be the best fit. Besides his zest for trash and telling the neighbors to “get off his lawn”, Lars is a perfect housemate.

 

Lars is heartworm negative and current on his flea and heartworm preventatives. His adoption fee is $350.
