Avery is a Shih Tzu who just turned 1 years old, he was pulled from a shelter in Iowa. He is a beautiful dog with one blue eye and one brown eye. At the shelter Avery was shut down, scared, and unsocalized. He's been in his foster home for a few days now and he is coming around. He has bonded closely to his foster mom but is still nervous around the 2 year old child in the home. Because of this, Avery must go to a child-free home.

Avery does well with the resident dog although he would like a dog that likes to play! He is a fun little guy who is happy and playful. He is currently learning to "sit". Avery could do with some obedience/socializing classes when he gets to his new home, this will help him catch up the to rest of the pups his age.

Avery is neutered, up to date with shots, heartworm and intestinal parasite free. Avery is also microchipped and his adoption fee is $330.

• You must fill out an adoption application before you are allowed to meet the animal. Please complete the adoption application located on our website.
• Small Dog Rescue of MN does not negotiate the adoption fee on our dogs and we must charge sales tax on all adoption fees in order to comply with Minnesota state law. Please note that SDR is philisophically opposed to the idea of buying and selling animals, and we support any future legislation that would remove sales tax from adoption fees. Until then, however, we must charge it.
• We are offering a microchip placement for your resident dog for small donation to our rescue
