Meet Presley! At just three years old, Presley was found homeless, wandering the streets of a rural Tennessee neighborhood northwest of Nashville. His fur was so severely matted and tangled that the animal control officer struggled to safely capture him. (Video footage and photo number 4 show the heartbreaking condition he was in.)   Presley was in so much discomfort he could barely move. His mats were so extensive the officer couldn’t even determine his gender. After sedation, Presley was gently shaved, and Mr. Randy painstakingly removed every tangle.   When he woke up, Presley was like a new dog! He ran joyfully up and down the hall, then rushed to find Mr. Randy, who had saved him, expressing his gratitude with happy tail wags and affectionate rubs. The once-scared, nameless pup was now a handsome, happy Presley.   Presley is a 3-year-old, 19-pound Shih Tzu with a loving heart. He adores being close to his foster mom and follows her everywhere. Presley gets along well with his canine foster siblings—their favorite pastime is playing and running together in the fenced yard. He’s also perfectly content entertaining himself with a game of toss-the-toy. Presley is a wonderful companion, but he can’t resist chasing cats, so his forever home should be feline-free.   Presley will make a delightful addition to your home. He’s a quick learner—he’s mastered the doggie door and is fully housebroken. While Presley will use a crate if needed, he much prefers being out with his family.     Presley would thrive with an active family who enjoys walks and adventures.
