Adopt Beethoven a Black Shih Tzu / Jack Russell Terrier / Mixed dog in

Location:

Chattanooga, TN

Description:

This cutie is 11 years young and is a Shih Tzu/Jack Russell Terrier mix. He landed in the shelter through no fault of his own- his owners were dealing with some medical issues and no longer capable of caring for him. Beethoven has been confused and scared in the shelter and deserves a forever home where he can enjoy his golden years. Beethoven has kind of a weird grumpy old man personality and takes time to warm up to new people. When you first meet him, he is stiff and will show his teeth because he is afraid. Give him a little time though, and his attitude will magically change - he turns into the most sweet and cuddly guy! I myself experienced this when I picked him up at the shelter to foster. Once he knows you, he will be so happy every time he sees you again! He is an expert cuddler and loves to give kisses. Beethoven has done well in a prior foster home with cats and another dog. I think my 4 are a little much for him, but he has done ok so far. He absolutely loves playing with stuffed toys, but doesn't like to share them with other dogs. He can also be grumpy about sharing his human's lap space with other dogs. I think his ideal home would have no other dogs, or another dog that will give him his space. Beethoven is a senior dog, but has plenty of energy. He loves going for walks and the unique way that his little butt and curly tail sway back and forth when he walks is beyond adorable. He does seem to be house broken, and has only had a couple of accidents so far. This comes with the territory of adjusting to a new environment!
