First congratulations on rescuing that poor baby. I really don't have experience with puppymill rescue's other than in December I fostered a 3 1/2 month old pom from the shelter I volunteer at. She was young so that helped with her not having many issues. She was very high energy which I assumed was from it being her first time living outside of a wire cage with 5 other dogs in it and being a puppy. I have 3 yorkies, 2, 4 and 4 1/2 years old and she would jump at them and want to play but as soon as one of mine growled at her she backed off only to try again a little later. She also would get the zoomies and run back and forth wildly for 5 minutes every night. They grow out of that. I had her almost 4 weeks and by the end of that time she was adjusting to our schedule and spending more time laying with my girls or on her own playing with a toy. Hopefully your little one will adjust to your household and play nicely with your shihzu. Please keep us posted. |
